Okay so, in my head, Life has always been one big game.
It's like chess, but the kind of chess that I'm really good at. I really suck balls at chess. Well, anyway, Life is like a hugh chess game where everyone is the king and the queen. The method is to use the resources around you in order to maintain and improve your status.
Now, due to the fact that chess (and hence Life, by extension) is a peaceful war, things may tend to get a bit brutal.
There is bound to be a whole lot of manipulation. That's what happens. You are working towards a goal and everything in between is either an aid or hinderence. That is how you must view everything and everyone. Yet all the while you must be a wolf in sheep's skin. You cannot all out be the aggressor in a peaceful war. Otherwise - You lose.
Egos will always feature in a war. Complete annihilation of the opponent highlights your competencies. It polishes your ego while crushing theirs. And so it should be in war. In order not to be engaged with by others, one must accomplish admiration from potential opponents. To achieve vast admiration one must be feared by most. You cannot merely defeat the opposition in such a case. You must disseminated him. Utterly.
The best way in which to win a war is through deception, surprise and strealth. Without these, you are only as smart as your dumbest opponent.
I can't really tell you when or how I discovered this. That it's all one big game. I must have been young because manipulation has been in my way of life since I can remember. The tantrums, the sulking, the self hurt and the destruction. As in all war, one must make sacrifices and the "scorched land" philosophy isn't above me. That's the thing, in a war. Morals and principles all fade to grey. What matters is the amount of blood shed - Just to prove your point.
"That I am infinately and supremely superior to anything you will ever fathom. I am God!"
Now, while this is a very self involved, pompus way to put it, this and this alone is the reason for all human conflict. The fact that one must prove to another that he is right. He is superior. He is God!
Please don't think of this as blasphlemous. In all of us, there is God; But the fact that we can feel it and sense it sometimes makes us, as humans, very self righteous. Usually with the effect of undermining others. To the point of alienation.
Chess is not a team sport. It is a lone, and lonely sport. As is war. When all is said and done, you must have proven your superiority. And what does it all matter amidst the gloom and destruction? What worth is a king if his kingdom is a bloodied and death-filled war field? And how does a king rule over corpses? It was all for nothing.
How then do we surpass this basic human flaw?
Simple.
Realise that in your Godliness, you are not alone. Respect for your fellow man equals eternal praise to God and to Self. After all, we are all one in The Divine... The only way to win the war is to lose it. Pride has no place in a higher, less humanistic realm. All that is human locks us into this realm and prevents any form of spiritual and basic growth. While war causes the human to win, the soul is busy being killed. Surrender is our only chance at soulful victory. Or even survival. When you fight, you end up fighting your brother. Your God. Yourself.
Makes no sense, right?
This is my truth.
It is the word.
It is the unspoken.
It is...
Blessing from The Divine,
May their patience and peace always follow you.
