Reply #3: It's all about the story that we have lived with [View All]

for the last 8000 or so years.

About 8000 years ago, a story developed that there was a great male god who crushed a nasty female goddess. This is the story that we currently support. And it means we are to live by crushing out evil forces. The "good life" is the virtuous forces crushing out the evil forces. So how do we support that? By making punishment a sport that gives us pleasure.

We have all been a part of that. Until we change the story that lives within each of us and has been nourished for 8000 years by the spilling of blood, nothing about that punishment/dominator model will change.
