Honestly you seem to bee getting close to the source of all the world problems. I perceive many good men have died searching for that unseen hand.
There is "the truth" but it is not acceptable or pretty. Therefore most will not find it. They have been taught to only be satisfied with cake and circuses. I was once one of them and I must daily resit the urge to only satisfy my foolish wants.

How much of our daily activity has been of necessity life's needs? How much is pushed upon us by what we have seen or heard?

How much is pushed upon us by those who rule over us to show us we are ruled?
