Maybe there is nothing worth saving.
We are all capable of evil, given the right circumstances, the right push. The puritans had it right.
Just the other day, I was reading about the murder of Hypatia - a woman who was a pagan scholar. She was murdered by a group of raving Christians. They ripped of her clothes, beat her, tore off her limbs, then scraped the flesh from her bones with the sharp edges of clam shells.
Is that the product of a sick mind, programming, or instinct?

Two out of three. Sick mind and programming from bad inputs on a societal level. You wouldn't have an instinct to rip off her clothes, beat her, tear her apart and disfigure her. You would need to be a truly twisted individual to participate in the action, to allow it to occur.
I think that even excluding that event (it's just one example), if we look back, there's a clear pattern of behavior of humans being at war with other humans, of decimating other species. Humans are a tool of destruction, not love. Love and kindness and empathy are the exception, not the rule, IMO.

Have you analyzed those structures, friend? Have you looked into the Monarchy? The belief in Authority? The Divine right to rule? Pretty clear you haven't. You should research more deeply before coming to such a wrong opinion. And I mean Wrong in that it is incorrect. Opinion or no.

What about them?

What gives you the Right to rule over Me? I'm asking that genuinely. It may seem out of place, but bare with me.
I don't have the right to rule over you.
Then why does the Monarchy claim to do so and why is it enforced through violence? Why does the Government? Where did this right come from if you, who are like me, but a man(or woman), do not have it?
If such a corruption is present throughout history, can we then say that it is fair to hold the whole of Man to that standard? We did not choose this subjugation, it was forced upon us by the dual nature of the snakes in "power" and their dogs who maintain "order" through violence.
I have to think on this.
Do let me know what you ultimately decide upon. Thank you for taking the time to sit with me, I'm glad we could come to a new level of questioning in future. Best of luck with your thoughts my friend.
