Going Full Circle
Here, again, is the cycle, with appropriate
elaboration:
1. A person in bondage resents his bondage so
he looks to some power
''higher than his
bondage master."
This usually results in
spiritual faith.
2. As he recognizes and acknowledges a
"higherpower,
"it gives him courage to try to
become free from bondage.
3. This courage based on a
''higher power"
Stimulates the desire for freedom and usually
wins out through some means.
4. As a person becomes free, his initiative is
released and he produces to help himself -–
usually helping others in the process.
5. Production under freedom will produce an
abundance of goods and services if based on
personal reward.
6. As abundance is produced, people tend to
get selfish. Those without abundance covet
what others have, whereas those that have
are not motivated to share without
compensation. This generally brings civil
action to take from
''him who has"and
give
to
''him who has not"in
exchange for votes
or favors.
7. Once the
''have nots"have
legal authority to
live off the goods of the producers, they
become complacent since they now have
legal sanction to live off the production of
others.
