>The centralized systems of this world survive by exploiting human weaknesses. Decentralized systems thrive upon human virtues.

I agree a little with the first sentence and not with the second. Centralized systems survive not only by weakness, but by stupidity, conformity, greed and inhumanity. Virtues are not the basis of a decentralized system, responsibility and freedom are. I have seen and see many aberrations being defended based on virtues, curtailment of freedoms, coercion, destruction of heritage. Virtues by themselves are nothing if they were based on dubious morals and therefore need to be based on universal moral senses, such as Natural Law, for example.

There’s no virtue in suffering itself, but suffering is required if you want to be more than mundane. If you can’t accept suffering, anyone with a pin and a threat owns you. So, let’s be clear on this: Living in any way except the one prescribed by authority requires suffering.

And I ask you in life what is it that has made you suffer so much?


And why?
