Actually this is me; this is the lower me that sees the world as it truly is and the lower me used by the more enlightened me to drive forward its goals by giving others exactly what they expect and indeed crave. The OP, set as it is in the scheme of international politics is just as true in the interpersonal sphere of which, by the summation of millions of such personal interactions, the national and international schemes are formed.
The truth is that the majority do not feel anything but contempt for others; filled with jealousy and covetousness their intent is to take what others have by any means necessary within the parameters of their own self interest and laziness – after all, few want to risk prison and few have the motivation to put their intent into action. So they will smile and shake your hand, and bide their time.
Oh yes dear reader, when push comes to shove the majority will slit your throat to take what you have and despite all expressions of fraternity and cooperation if it comes down to you or him it will be him, every time. And similarly, if the opportunity presents itself a similar outcome may be expected.
This is not because of need or desperation – though these can drive such instances of course – but because this is how the majority think, believing that if they do not take the initiative then someone else will, to their detriment. It is a bestial mindset in which life is lived despite others not because of or for them. It is a mindset characterised by fear and distrust alongside laziness, selfishness and ignorance.
The majority then crave the strong leader. The leader who can give them what they expect and form a world which agrees with their nature, casting the blame for all ills elsewhere when in truth such ills are the summation of their nature. The leader who will set goals for them, allocate them tasks and direct them firmly, exercising strict control over them and treating them as they expect others to treat them, with the same contempt with which they regard the world.
The trick to pursuing the enlightened goals we might set lies in the adaptation of such leadership. Whilst moving strongly and steadily away from the bestial nature of the majority, we must nevertheless satisfy that nature. The majority are selfish, lazy and ignorant – as long as their needs are met and they have the occasional opportunity to express their nature, they lack the motivation and ability to comprehend the path they are on and in which they are the unknowing accomplices.
For it is certain that by offering enlightened values and goals we should not progress at all. It is simply not in the mindset of the majority whose support is required for such progress.
