It's so transparent, this chain of command in our world. Teachers
have no control over the school board, so they take out their
frustration on students. These students have no control in school
or at home, so they become parasites that latch onto authority to
feel special. People in general have no control at the workplace or over the law, so they're insufferably harsh, especially towards children who still have youth's freedom.
Someone once told me to get used to this submission, because there
will always be people who have authority over my life, like parents,
teachers, employers, cops, politicians... Then I realized a year or
two ago, that the worst any of them can do if I disobey is kill me. I
have nothing to live for, therefore, I have no reason to obey anyone
ever again. It is a wonderful feeling, something the obedient will
never experience.
