The Authority
The authority
I don't have that authority. I have authored that without tea. Not even coffee..
Distopian novel about authority about The Authority
Calling the authorities. Man, can you believe people do that? We teach kids to do it and boy howdy... Tell a parent is fine, I guess, But we need to teach kids and ourselves how to resolve some of these issues. We teach them to expect someone more powerful to punish the behavior that they think we would punish.
Like, it's ridiculous. Like,.... like don't you see how that happens for us as adults and I don't think it's innate, but we have been designing a culture through our outdated child-rearing practices that have led a whole population of adults to seek out strong men to solve, not their problems, but their perception of what the strong man wants by punishing...We raised a society of tattletales that don't even know what they want, only with a misguided sense of "fair" it's absurd. ABSURD.
Just absolutely absurd.
