The Hunger Games

[zenmaster]

Zen, are you trying to say that it's collectively our own fault too and not just because of the Elites? If so, I agree. There is no such thing as a victim.

I wouldn't use the word 'fault'. We literally create the conditions which promote or deny certain opportunities. There are certain patterns of belief and behavior which are actively reinforced (sincerely or dishonestly, doesn't matter one bit) which will promote or deny certain opportunities.

It's difficult to think outside of or individuate sufficiently beyond those inherited constructs (distortion complexes). It's less difficult to see how these patterns powerfully, yet unconsciously guide attitudes. It is our responsibility to aid in their balance just as it is an individual's responsibility to remove their own distortions. Collective and personal evolution works on the same principles.
