The world has two kinds of people, one, the ones who do hard work to get by, and others who snatch and seize what others have. More often than not it is the second kind which ends up having power. The first kind believes in law, morality, ethics and conventions and consequently traditions and the second kind depends on instrumentalism, using them as a strategic instrument to gain more wealth and and power and cement consolidation. The second kind's whole game is based on ignorance, innocence and population of the first kind. The first kind until and unless they have had experiences and they have learned from them can't believe that someone can manipulate the law, ethics, morality, conventions and this ignorance becomes the root cause of their exploitation. When the second kind has established power firmly, when they have consolidated it and the power dynamic has become absolute, irreversible and non-negotiable it is when the game of impunity starts. Habitual impunity is like a drug. Being in power means you can't be punished and that leads to impunity, but like a drug impunity demands a bigger dose everytime to release the chemicals that it releases in the brain, mostly the pleasure felt from the suffering of others, sadism or schadenfreude, and it when the second kind starts being creative with sadistic games, it's like experimenting with new drugs, which a common man thinks of as an act of God. The first kind, as I ended up realising, is exposed, it has no security and is at the mercy of the second kind which is way too deep in sadism, schadenfreude and megalomania to even understand the minds of those who believe in following ideals, laws and rules. Good people are exposed because power is predatory, and a good man or woman always has to think about saving their asses whereas predators' full focus is on finding an innocent person and playing sadistic games. Sadism is institutionalised in in this country and the idealism of post-independence is gone. When we talk about power it is better to think of the TV series Game of Thrones as a documentary. Power is almost exclusively seized through deception, conspiracies and brute force and so it always goes to scoundrels, and these scoundrels then employ more scoundrels through patronage and impunity as an incentive which includes rape. A good person who is an idealist, or who is diligent, who wants to do his work in the best way possible then becomes a target because there is inherent jealousy towards the good person in the scoundrels employed by the scoundrels. Law-abiding, diligent citizen is then just cattle which the scoundrels rear to achieve their goals which of course are more wealth and greater consolidation of power. Law in this kind of setting just becomes an expression of existential entrapment at the physical plane and an instrument of lawfare.
