Welfare for the Many vs. Welfare for the Few: The Self-Deception Trap

Welfare for the Many vs. Welfare for the Few: The Self-Deception Trap

"Those who convince themselves that their selfish deeds are somehow selfless, are often the ones who destroy the foundational structures of the welfare society for the gain of their choosing, and not the gain of the many as it would be intended."

disclaimer This piece is written in reflection—not persuasion. You may find in it what you're ready to find, but not more. As with any system, comprehension scales with the lens you bring. Reading once will reveal one lens, while a second time for a new lens; the depth is coded in the light, where the light will be shown where one could see.

When those who have convinced themselves that the selfless deeds presented as the welfare of the many, should instead be used as the empowerment and welfare for the few, often associated with a specific demographic, that welfare in turn, turns into the selfish welfare that creates the systemic cycle of the layers of impoverished that feel they each deserve more than the rest.

When this happens, the revolutionary cycles of those impoverished view themselves as entitled to the altruistic illusions of others while in turn, never learning how to leave the systems of welfare created to support them nor ever learning how to give back into the systems that support their empty desires to leave the system of poverty they live in.

This cycle of these self-fulfilling entitlements, evolves into an uneven application of welfare itself, this evolution in and of itself, matching the philosophical concept known as "crabs in a bucket" where the crabs in that bucket, lack the ability to ever leave, as escaping the bucket unto the land of freedom, will free them from the misery of those who use it as a means of empowerment.

Thus creating a pseudo society of self-deprivation victimhood that has fallen into the spell of its own making, where the hypnosis of that spell, won't ever let them leave, as it becomes a way of life that is no longer able to adapt and grow to survive the woes the world may challenge them with.

The solutions of this are not easy to resolve however, as it would require a means of motivating a base of welfare dependents that has no interest in actually creating something great, but instead, it simply intends to exercise raw power in a concept of "might makes right" to define what they want to be greatness. Often tearing down the foundational structures of society as a whole that enables their way of life to continue, rather than adding to it and building it into something far greater than what it could be at large.

Welfare prioritizing teaching, while seeming as though it may serve as a solution, will simply only serve as an alternative pathway to its own inevitable downfall, creating an artificial bracket of academia based credential standards that outweigh individualized capabilities for growth, knowledge, motivation, and potential performances when the opportunities are given properly instead of selectively based on an unattainable branding of criteria.

The benefits of the systems used in this, though they may work for the few who benefit from them, will inevitably end up being outweighed by the flaws they create to sustain the many who never intend to leave, creating the system that while intended for good, isn't capable of sustaining the positives of it for long and will inevitably collapse on itself once the system itself, eventually will run out of everyone else's wealth that is used to keep this system in place.
