Self-assertion, a natural prerequisite of the human mind,
is an indispensable tool for the survival of every form of life and in man
it is regulated by social conventions and laws in diverse environments.
When self-assertion is displayed by a weakened psyche it takes the form of
a compensatory trait but a weak mind is unable to comprehend or realize
its import.
If a weak psyche (whatever meaning that may have) is
invested with great power and might this compensatory trait usually
emerges as a treat to society or, particularly in a nuclear-armed world
like ours, to humankind as a whole.
In such instances unscrupulous
persons of low morals very close to “the mighty” – who unaware is a puppet
in their hands - prosper by keeping his fantasies aloft and, given their
position, to the detriment of whoever tries to establish a rational
equilibrium on current affairs.
Unhappily this appears to be the
current state of things in the United States with a “…administration,
claiming to be anointed by a Christian God to reshape the world … “[1] which, from a pillar of democracy are moving
towards a despotic political system where “the mighty” is making the worst
of his compensatory complex.
It appears that if he is going to pursue
his aims in the direction he seems to be headed for hardly anyone on the
planet will make it out unscathed in one way or another.
Little may be
added to this lines but the hope that he who wrote them is damned wrong and
that our wonderful planet will prosper with an intelligent ape walking on
it that learned to respect and safeguard it for what it is: a rare gem
full of beauty and life in the cosmic spaces.
