there will always be those who want power and ownership to gather an army together to make it so
The only way to oppose those who try to take, it with those who don't let it happen and unite together to protect each other. It takes unity, and true unity comes from moral truth in alignment.
I pointed out one does not stick a metal bar in another beings mouth with little ropes attached to yank on when forcing the other to submit and turn directions. One does not force another being to ride you on its back as a form of entertainment if one loves that being.
Yes, it's the self-delusion of belief. We want to believe whatever the fuck we want, so we do. We want to believe we are oh-so good and moral yet don't understand how we are failing to live up to the values and standards we claim to hold so dear. Looking into the dark mirror to see our dark hearts is hard work...
Breaking a horse is what it's called for a reason. You break their will/consciousness/'spirit'. They have will power, feeling, thinking, all from consciousness, albeit a more limited kind compared to us, but that doesn't give us all these "rights".
The solution is to care for and seek truth, and eventually you get to go deeper into moral truth and want to cast away the wrongs by admitting them :)
