The Meek Are Stuffed And Ready For Dessert

This post on modern socialism was originally written and published on 21/02/2008 on my old site, ‘The God Is You’, and may conflict with my current philosophy.

YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD the proverb, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” It is a classic line from the Bible, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (MATTHEW 5:5). By ‘meek’, the Bible is referring to those that are humble, placid and gentle and whom are willing to share and sacrifice on behalf of others, putting their lives before their own.

The book means ‘meek’ to denote the opposite of arrogance and violence, and infers that those whom are NOT meek can be seen seeking domination and will use any means necessary to trample over and crush others with complete disregard. And in true Bible-style, it implicitly places anyone with confidence, ambition and individuality in THIS category….

A Definition Of Meek

Let me define exactly what the Bible means when it uses the term ‘meek’. It means anyone that is unselfish. I.e., anyone that places someone else’s life before their own. The funny thing is, the only place you could meet such a person would be in a mental home! I’ve said it before: humans are self-sustaining animals. We get ourselves out of bed, we feed ourselves, and we wipe our own arses (I’m talking about the average, able-bodied, healthy human, here.)

I.e., we put ourselves first, every damn day of our lives. To say otherwise is a complete lie. Any human that didn’t put himself first would be a complete burden to himself AND society, spending his time lying around waiting for his arse to get wiped, which would never happen since his fellow ‘unselfish’ would be lying around waiting for their arses to be wiped, too!

Enter The Bottom-Feeders

It is anyone that shoots below his capability. It is anyone that, armed with a spear, chooses to aim it at the mountain instead of the moon – which is too high – and eventually shoots at the barrow so as not to appear greedy to his other bottom-feeding bromides. Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to the meek.

Yep. Thanks to the power-hungry, vote-collecting-by-pleasing-the-inept-nil-by-mind ‘brain-dead’ – the meek have been having a fine old time on yours and my expense for some time, now. And the worrying thing is, their existence and support for have become part of culture. To give your money to the meek – indirectly via taxes – is the norm. To not have to pay taxes would be ‘outrageous’, “How would the poor and needy survive?” the statists would wail. They wouldn’t.

A Brilliant Analogy

Business and goals philosopher and speaker, Zig Ziglar has a good analogy for this, which I shall paraphrase, now.

Up in the smoky mountains, there lied a village that lived in fear. There were wild boars in the woods that had grown so used to human activity that they had become fearless, and would run amok, eating crops, attacking people and causing great disturbance to the village’s inhabitants.

One day, an old man rolled-up in an old, rickety horse and cart, climbed down, and explained that he’d heard about their problem with the wild boars and had come to help. On noting the dilapidated state of the cart, the skin-and-bone nag and the old timer’s moth-eaten garb – the villagers weren’t exactly filled with the greatest of confidence. But since they’d tried everything else to be rid of the boars, they accepted the old man’s offer of help.

So he disappeared up into the mountains and wasn’t seen for days. A few days later, he returned with the triumphant news that he’d captured all of the boars. Astonished, the villagers demanded he tell how he did it. Well, he started, First of all I went up there and knocked a wooden post in the ground and sprinkled some feed on the ground by it.

The boars eyed me suspiciously at first, but eventually, their lust for the free feed won them over and they shuffled to eat the grain. The next day, I banged a second post into the ground, and scattered more feed down. Again, the boars were wary at first, but on recollecting no riposte from me yesterday after eating the food, they came over and did so, again.

On day three, I put in a third post and the boars started to wander over before I’d even finished with the post. I laid the feed down for them and they gladly ate it. On day four, the boars were waiting for me. I put the fourth and final post in, and sprinkled more grain.

Over the next few days, I continued like this, this time strapping wire to the posts – the boars snapped-up the free food as per normal. On the tenth and final day, with a four-sided, strong wire fence in place, I rigged-up a trap mechanism on the gate into the pen.

I walked in, scattered the feed as per usual, walked out, and waited a few yards away as the boars wandered in to have their fill. As soon as the last boar was in the pen, I let the trap go, and as we speak, all the wild boars that have been terrorising your village – are trapped safely in the pen.

An Timeless Proverb

When you give a man a fish – you feed him for a day. When you teach him how to fish – you feed him for life. When you give him fish, shelter and health care every day for the rest of his life – you turn him into a parasite. A man that offers nothing of value to society, is of no value to that society whatsoever. He renders himself useless.

It is thanks to the meek that we have such things as ‘diplomacy’. Diplomacy can be defined as side-stepping the issue via bullshit in an attempt not to upset the other person by a process of dormant-self-esteem pity, thereby keeping that person weak by means of ineptness-approval.

Diplomacy can be seen in such guises as a pat on the back for coming second, or as a reward for bad behaviour. This encouragement of a sub-standard, sub-human way of living is good for no man.

The Problem With Democracy

Another great invention of the meek is ‘democracy’. Democracy is when a minority – its smallest denomination being an individual human – being at the mercy of the majority in a group consensus. No one is free. It is like a giant hoop thrown over an entire group, with the minority forced to comply with the majority’s arbitrary wishes – all for the sake of collecting more votes for the power-hungry inept.

This results in a dilution of human greatness potential, as the great are brought back in line with the undeservedly-promoted masses. Anyone showing a hint of greatness is seen as arrogant and megalomaniacal. Who knows where our race would be now if it weren’t for the acceptance for the meek? The meek have had their fill. It’s time for ours.

But the reversal of this process cannot be carried out overnight. We are talking about generations of meeklings, past and present, that have lived off the strong in such a way that the complete extinction of their drip-feeding would leave us with a society full of savages brandishing any kind of weapon they could lay claim to.

You can guess what would happen next. No, to go back, or rather: to go forward – would require a plan consisting of stages of re-independence, or ‘weaning’. Only then could the meek become strong, and of value to themselves and society. Any other form of existence is a waste and disrespecting of one’s human potential. That’s not being a humanpreneur.

The meek are inheriting the earth. It’s time to reclaim it.
