For the rulers, morality is not a matter of virtue, as you might think. What they call “morality” consists of an invisible policeman embedded in each individual.
Their duty? To protect their own property, the order they have established and the privileges they have declared inviolable. The rule of the system is simple: Your conscience will be their guardian. Because the rulers want to rule society not by force from the outside, but by consent from the inside.
The police outside is for exceptional cases. The main thing is the internal police that is implanted in your mind. You are disciplined by yourself, not by others. You carry your own chain, you are your own jailer.
A child is told that “stealing is bad”. But most of the time this rule applies to the grocer in the neighborhood, not to the conglomerate boss. When a poor person steals bread, he is declared “immoral”; when a rich person siphons off millions, he is called a “successful businessman”. it happens. Then we must ask: Who is the real thief?
The unseen purpose of what they call morality is this: To make people bow their heads. To teach silence. To normalize gratitude, acquiescence and submission.
They control a woman's body by calling her “honor”.
They suppress the worker's claim to his rights by calling it “loyalty”.
They call the poor “tawakkul” and ascribe sanctity to their hunger.
For years they called you “shameful”, “sinful”, “forbidden”. But for whom, for what? Did you ever stop and ask?
You have already been asked not to ask. Because the cop in you has already convinced you of the status quo.
When one day you come out and say, “I don't think so,” first the internal police in your family stand up. Then your teacher, the clergy, the neighborhood and finally the official police of the state...
But you know who will react the hardest?
The “you” in you.
That is why the most crowded prison is not the one with four walls, but man's own mind.
The morality of the rulers is like a thick curtain over injustice, inequality and oppression. Underneath it is full of corruption, exploitation and hypocrisy. But the outside is polished: Morality, honor, faith, tradition.
But true morality is not born out of fear, but out of consciousness.
It feeds on justice, not obedience.
He does not obey, he questions.
Freedom is not possible without firing your inner policeman.
No individual who acts out of fear can remain on the side of truth. And a conscience shaped by fear is actually the voice of another.
If you really want to understand what I am saying, first silence that voice inside you. The day you can silence it, you will begin to intervene in the world with the transformative power of your thoughts and words.
That is why the greatest fear of the rulers is that the police among us will resign or even be fired.
