Breeding One's Enemy

Dear readers,

I've done even more thinking and came upon a realization, for what ever reason all enemies seem to be from the same source. What can that possibly mean? By that I mean we always seem to make our own enemies on a personal and global scale and it does not matter whether we realize what our actions caused or were.

Now remember my last post? The idea in that has evolved into this: To tell the stories of the defeated from the perspective of the defeated detailing what caused the conflict from both perspectives to show how an individual's actions, how ever meaningless, effects the environment around them on a large scale.

There is also evidence of this right now and for that look no further than New York City. Would there be protests if the protesters did not feel let down, betrayed and/or kicked by those they are protesting? Not at all because then they would be happy how ever a few things got to the protesters. First off quite a few of them are in a terrible economic position so it makes sense to protest at Wall Street, the economic capitol of the greatest city in the world. Second off is that the rich have a lot that the protesters do not have. The rich have helicopters, security guards, bomb shelters, the ability to subvert nations by making them over blow construction projects and throwing them in to debt. I have the ability to do none of those things. Really though that last one is enough to justify a revolution.

Regardless of whether or not you support the protests it is quite possible to see that big business has gotten enough of the "99%" angry enough by not sharing to protest. Could anyone predict that not sharing would cause months of protests? Perhaps, but regardless as to whether or not they predicted it the enemy to themselves were bred and now they have a formidable movement to deal with and to be honest I don't think any one can come out with a clear outcome for the movement yet.

Hoping it was a good example,

Mike Hand
