We live inside a biosphere called Earth. Within this bubble are bacteria that can help or harm. There are animals that can serve or kill. There are insects that can be useful or pests. And there are people who want to preserve life and others who don’t.
Therefore we govern these variables to maintain balance. WE are the government as much as WE are the environment. We cannot alienate ourselves into an US versus THEM attitude.
I live in an environment where there are certain ones whose sole duty is to watch for any foreign intruder and deal with them. I don’t even know who these soldiers are and I know only vaguely WHERE they are. They don’t consult me and I don’t consult them. They do their job and I am kept safe.
A friend of mine lives in a similar environment. However his soldiers got out of hand and began attacking the good guys as well as the bad. It was as if they were bent on taking over the environment. He had to secure special treatment to ensure they were kept under control; a government intervention so-to-speak.
Where is this environment I’m describing?
It’s the human body. The special border patrol forces are the white blood cells. My friend had a variety of Lupus disease where the white blood cells are over active and kill off good cells along with the foreign intruders. He takes medication to slow down that part of his system.
Privacy is an illusion.
