It's never going to happen. Most people want 2 things:
1. To be led by authority (authority must be accepted by large numbers of people to qualify as authority). 2. To be accepted. Look at what we are 'offering'. Whatever dialectic or ism or belief system they embrace, it provides fellowship and it provides security to them. Expose their ism/dialectic/belief system as false=blow up their world. =Indictment on them...poor judgment. =Estrange them from their people. All for 'truth' that is not accepted as 'truth' until repercussions of that 'truth' are accepted as part of the deal. The physiological response to the repercussions of knowledge is fear. The psychological responses to fear are defense mechanisms like denial, rationalization, intellectualization, et al. We've all seen them. Then it's game over. There there is us. We are the outliers. Do we wake each other up, or do we help each other along? Regardless, we CAN'T become authority figures in order to offer some 'legitimacy' that human nature tends to crave. To obtain that legitimacy, we'd have to do what the bad guys do. Then we become like the bad guys and there is no need to wake anyone up anymore; we are now predators. And that is the paradox of this world. I believe Jesus spoke of this paradox: "But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first." Matthew 19:30 dys |
