The winds of hatred.

There are things that I feel people must know.
And some questions that I myself ask.

1. Why do some people lambast being disciplined when they have been found to be clearly wrong?

2. Why is humankind so stubborn?

3. Why does any sort of discipline upon them result in a full rebellion?

4. Why does democracy not punish people who abuse their liberties?

5. Why does it appear that people throw back questions 1 to 4 to the one in authority when all these apply ONLY to those within their own levels and similarities?

6. Why does it seem that "Ignorance of the law excuses no one" is the most ignored policy?

In this little world in the Ragnaboards, I do not worry about them. However, when it comes to the world at large, I cannot help but think. However, I will still answer them, in the context of Ragnaboards.

1. There is one reason why they refuse to accept they are wrong. It is a simple reason. Pride. To admit wrongdoing is a brutal and humiliating blow to their ego. They should learn to control their ego or reprimandments will be truly bitter for them.

2. Humankind is stubborn by design. They are stubborn in the sense that no mere roadblocks would stand in their way. But sadly, this trait has been used negatively.

3. Nobody likes change. Nobody likes to be told what to do, but unfortunately, when it is the populace that needs discipline/guide and they revolt, what must be done must be done, and even if this means curtailing their rights just to attain it. And if you can already guess, I pretty much agree with the actions of Marcos, Lacson and Bayani Fernando when it comes to disciplining people. It is a shame that there are laws in the real world that are obstacles to disciplining people, for the sake of their so-called rights.

4. Democracy is doing whatever you wish. But there's actually a catch in democracy; it's doing everything WITHIN the law. Democracy doesn't mean you can do EVERYTHING even if it is wrong. It's the biggest illusion since freedom.

5. Humans by design don't want to take the blame. See answer # 1. I see their "do unto others as others would do unto you!" invalid in this situation where they are talking to me as an authorative figure. They can only say that to their peers. As a moderator, I am above them.

6. This is one policy that people igore a lot. People don't read the rules when they enter something. It's a sad thing, really. And then they pin the blame elsewhere, refusing to admit guilt. Ah, humanity, indeed.

For now, the winds blow, again. We will meet again, that is for sure.
