For instance-
Jesus
Weak people hate the strong, wise, and good
Just think for a minute about the example of Jesus. If Jesus wasn’t so good, so bold, so strong, so wise, and so perfect, would the Pharisees plot against him?
No…
The only reason why the Pharisees plotted against Jesus is because their religious authority was challenged. The Pharisees felt threatened by a single person BECAUSE he was so strong, making their authority feel powerless.
When somebody’s simple presence alone challenges authority, the people who are being challenged, being exposed for their weakness, use reputation destruction to destroy them.
When the powerful rise, the weak become indignant
Now thing about modern day life in the United States. If a single powerful person threatens an entire establishment, like for instance, Elon Musk, the masses become victims, paint them as a nazi, and metaphorically crucify him. Or even Donald Trump, with an even stronger metaphor to draw upon, considering TWO assassination attempts.
Whether you love or hate these men is not the point at all. I couldn’t care less about politics- I am a philosopher. There’s simply a pattern here:
When somebody becomes too strong, the weak must destroy them.
