Phantom power

Or the allegiance of the weak

There’s nothing sadder to watch than the corruption taking place into the mind of a once independent individual who was promoted to an irrelevant performative role.

The edifice of self image growing into phantom power, attributed by a false notion of importance. The never ending cycle of being given attention by the power that be, and learning quickly enough that to get on the wagon is absolute consent of will, that power that’s given is quickly withdrawn if you don’t get on said wagon, if you don’t consent your will.

The weak mind will jump on said wagon, surrender their will, give their absolute consent. They will follow orders of the one lending power.

Resembling a common tale, you say ? After all, isnt all power borrowed from an higher authority ?

I submit to you that to keep freedom of thoughts and independence be compatible with power that comes from your skills and knowledge, rather than borrowed power.
