The Puppet Master

Whether creationist or evolutionary there is still a puppet master of all of our lives. We can now see beyond the views of that puppet master. Whether a god, or the laws of nature, we were made to kill, eat, reproduce, repeat. That is the only way to keep the species alive. Today the world is different. Like the robots depicted in so many science fiction novels, we have now reached a point in which some of us want to break free from our nature. We see beyond out limitations that go along with the human condition. We see beyond the puppet master yet are helpless in our search for freedom. We are human whether we want to be or not. We can act mature, tribal, primal, and asinine, yet all the while we will work the same. The laws of nature made us evil. Humans were and in some cases are evil. Driven by personal gain, and wanting to stay alive we do what we have to. Mostly evil things. On the other hand we have formed our society. This society has developed and attempted to implement ethics. Whether they are acted on is a completely different story. But regardless when they are acted on these humans have stepped beyond the puppet master and calmly broke free. Like MLK and his followers. Violence will only make it hard for you. Do it carefully and morally and you will come out on top. On top of the puppet master. As I look around myself I see the human condition affecting everyday life. A preteen boy stealing a hat. A little boy rushing to the cashier to inform them of this wrongdoing. The frustation of the retailer and their personal life made them scoff at the boy's claims. The mother or grandmother of the boy whips him away and scolds him for bothering one of our hardworking americans. Just as the puppet master wants us to do. When someone follows the morals taught to them and ground into their memory, beat the rule follower down. Whether deliberate or not, the one on top is sadly enough chastised. The stealing boy was shot up the popularity ladder. Trampling the hard work and immorality of the others as someone else thinks up a plan to outdo the entire school. An immorality contest and in the end just like our primal ancestors the winner gets the girl. The winner reproduces. Humanity stays upon this path of evil temptation. Becoming stronger and making it  harder to pull out of. Pretty soon it will become a one way street. We need to stop this. We need to show the children how to apply morals and that the moral one will and should come out on top. Dont take that away from them by beating them and reclaiming their spot for yourself. Be happy for the human race and if you can't beat them join them.
