It seems to me that governments of modern Western nations have become a parody of their former selves. That being said, I don’t recall a time in my life where anyone spoke highly, fondly, nor respectfully of those enthroned at any level of public office. Or, it was so rare that it was retroactively drowned out. Regardless, our society hinges on a strange and entirely specious notion wherein we absolutely and without question need a centralized power in the form of government, much to our continued frustration, polarization, and sociocultural angst.

You have but a limited time here in this one short life. Is it a trap or an opportunity? What do you really want from it? What are your truest aspirations? Are you willing to see through the fog and learn to accept things as they really are, or is it better to remain mixed up and subsumed in the fakery and delusion?
To me, it makes no sense whatsoever to conform to any religion or nationality because the truth must exist and eternally persist in the space between, where they all meet, where they can all agree, all the time, without question. That’s where I would endeavor to operate.
It behooves us to become aware of the many compromises we are making in our day-to-day living. It is harmful and spiritually depressing to carry on as if everything is alright, relying on coping and adapting to get us through. The world around you is doing it’s best to push you toward uniformity and conformity, and that’s why you’ll feel unhinged, edgy, frustrated, confused, alone, and directionless. That’s the point, so you will forever choose to defer to their authority, their priorities, and their values rather than sitting quietly a few times a day and discerning your own. It’s tyrannical, if not clever. Just pause more often and have a good look at what you’re being, doing, thinking, accepting, integrating, and acting out.
We must cope. We must strive for virtue. We must tolerate, invite, accommodate, and accept everything and everyone because, ultimately, we now stand for absolutely nothing.
