Dictators and Addictions

"Bright Comet Night" by Drew John Tankersley


Happy sez-  I think that if I were a fly on the wall of history I would see that in each time in each generation there are groups of people that fall for a dictator like a bad addiction.  And like a bad addiction at first with a dictator it is a sense of salvation and instant love then the realization that love has turned to dependence then oppression and love is now the realization of hate.  This addiction to dictators is not, I think, a cultural, historical or racial phenomenon but is simply the result of natural forces and their natural laws.  Are not we all at one time or another in history subject to this dictator addiction regardless of race or culture? Who today have or in the future will fall prey to this, and what can we do, as a species to offset this if anything?  Perhaps we should treat this as we treat other natural phenomenon by trying to understand it and any natural laws that govern it. These moral forces are not just hap-hazard circumstances of fate but follow natural laws that can be defined and calculated like the other forces of nature such the electromagnetic force or gravity.  If we can understand the moral and emotional forces that govern us then perhaps we can learn to do without the social addiction of dictatorship.
