TRADITION HAS THE EYES OF A TOAD

In a hierarchical community, if you fall down, no one needs you. At the bottom everyone looks at the conditional top. In this form traditional society is like a frog or toad, seeing all the blue sky, but not the slime of a swamp or the fungus from the bottom of a well. The conventional frog or toad does not care about the simplest life under your feet. Here is so, fallen from above down, still will be visible during the fall, even fractions of seconds but this will be the last the last picture and further nonexistence. Every celestial knows this. And he knows that they are not watching frogs, they are just similar in the direction of their eyes and attention. The fall itself will be sweet to all. Because no one wants to fall at the top. He wants to die quietly on the top. Even better with honor. To be carried out feet first. And this is still the case.

I don’t know if I explained the reason for refusing to voluntarily leave the government in essence but there is something in this for another problem in the same area.

The fact is that as soon as the coveted first place is released, many people rush in that direction, including those who do not deserve to be at the peak. That is, everyone strives for power with every fiber of the traditional soul. But why do applicants behave so irresponsibly because we know that traditional people are the most responsible in the world? They are always responsible for their actions to society. Before the father, before the brothers, before the conscience of the ancestors and glory. But that doesn’t stop anyone. Is it because those same toad eyes don’t judge winners but wait. Who should bow down and bring some of their harvest. Everyone is already waiting to see who will sit on the top to take their vegetables from the garden or the carcasses of game from the hunt. The trays are ready, the backs of the obsequious servants are already bent in greeting the new boss. The toad’s eyes stared at it. The main thing is to get in there.

What is the reason for the same unscrupulousness of revolutionaries, that they forget that they are not climbing ahead of their talents? Isn’t it with the same toad eyes of tradition?

And I’m sorry, what kind of revolutionaries are unscrupulous?

If these revolutionaries came from the traditional world the traditional community, then the tradition itself explains it all. These same revolutionaries know very well that a society with eyes only looking up recognizes power. Any power even an alien one. It is necessary to take power. And then you can do whatever you want with this crowd. History is full of examples when not the best ones outstripped the more worthy and gifted ones in the struggle for power. But on your own head. Of course, the unworthy bypassed the worthy not always but at a time when there was no direct danger. Otherwise, no unworthy person will take the risk. It was at the moment when the upstart was left alone with his more worthy opponent, surrounded by the traditional people, the ignorant crowd, that he could have every chance to seduce the crowd to take power. Because the danger has disappeared there is no risk, no need for great talents. We only need to deal with populism. Flatter right and left. Seduce with your kindness and simplicity. Promise mountains of gold. Yell as in the jungle “We are of the same blood!” The crowd itself does not like bright ones. She likes simple people like herself. She will choose her own kind in the image and likeness – out of vanity.
