Hierarchy



Hierarchy is something that surrounds us

In nature all is hierarchy

Some of us though seem to resent this

Some deny it

Competition is also all around us

Again some think this should not be so

Confusion

Or a refusal to deal with reality?

Probably a bit of both

From the Master down to the average person it is hard to argue that humans do not come in all degrees and levels of consciousness, a hierarchy if you will

It is also hard to argue that competition is not all around us whether it be for resources or finding partners

So why the denial or feeling it should not be this way?

Not fair some say

Why should it be fair?

Because most of us carry the innate feeling that we should help those unable to help themselves

Just as we have been helped all our lives by various people

All of us whether we wish to acknowledge this or not

Hierarchy exists everywhere

However the excesses need to be kept to acceptable levels

Who is going to say what this is?

Answer all of us intuitively know what is right and what is wrong

And over time worldwide a body of knowledge and best practice has emerged

We know what is acceptable and what is not

Enter corruption and brutality by those who do not want to play by established rules

And this is where the real problem lies

In the fight to influence and corrupt organisations many are subject to extreme pressure

Countering this we have those trying to find reasonable ways of keeping mans worst excesses in check

Also to fight the continued efforts of government to control evermore aspects of their citizens lives

Only way known so far is to keep throwing out the government at regular intervals so that they cannot get too entrenched and thereby too corrupt

Unfortunately the administrations and bureaucracies in many countries do not get periodically changed

This is our fight all of us are involved one way or another to contain the endless march of ever more controls

Do you just shrug your shoulders and swallow?

Or do you fight?

And in what way have you chosen to get involved?

You are contributing aren't you?
