My Demands
Unfortunately for us all, I have become some sort of Master Lord of the world and now have the strange and inconvenient task of being some sort of dignified ruler that I never intended to be and in fact intended the opposite to happen because of how little I want responsibility or to have to do stuff that involves a sort of political and social obligation for my actions and words.
To that end, I am pretty much at liberty to say and do anything, especially right now while I remain on the oppressed side of injustice. I feel like that is a pretty fair excuse to be angry and need to vent out my wrath when I find an appropriate way to do so. Not because I am the only one who is suffering injustice, but my individual situation is not entirely demographic related and at the bottom line is entirely individual. Although, there are some relevant demographics that were applicable before matters devolved to this point.
Eventually I expect that to change, to feel really good when it does, and will finally be able to work on the second book of the Demon’s Heart trilogy (working title: The Two Flowers) in peace as well as other projects I have in queue when it does. I cannot work under the conditions of having a team of uncultured tyrant minions and hostile-minded ingrates staring over my shoulder while I work. Additionally, having the peace of mind knowing that the social issues that are quite easily solved by a sensible good person who knows how to judge in favor of those who suffer, will make that work easier too. One of the most annoying things is knowing how to solve all the world’s problems, being able to provide those answers in clear easy instructions with step by step directions, reasons, and addressing all parties interests with either accommodation or reason, and being able to say what needs to be said to inspire people to take ownership of those solutions and make them their own— knowing that and being suppressed so that there isn’t even a public conversation about any of that goodness happening!
DO YOU PEOPLE NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING RELEVANT TO YOUR LIVES FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!
Why is the news such a waste of everyone’s time, energy, and an insult to our intelligence? There are more important matters to talk about than the personal reputations or political careers of idiots who aren’t capable of thinking up a single solution to our world’s problems and saying anything at all helpful so that people can make it happen.
Anyway… my demands for all of you are as follows (information only, no obligation intended):
All I want from each and every man, woman, child, dog, cat, bird, lizard, fish, mosquito, dread lord, vampire, lycan, troll, anonite, dark lord, savior, hero, heroine, priest, pope, president, dictator, general, sailor, marine— you get the idea. All I want from all of you, and I do not ask this, I demand it— is that you do nothing to make your life worse.
That is all that I am really concerned about with people I don’t know personally. Personal relationships are more complicated, but there are billions of people in the world, and I don’t expect to ever be able to meet all of you personally and become friends enough to have other cares that concern our relationship. So, if you do not want to worry me, please do nothing to make your life worse for yourself. If you realize you have a drug problem and decide to get clean, do not go back to drugs just to realize that you have a drug problem again and want to get clean. Get clean and stay clean. Find something else to be addicted to that is healthy enough to not destroy your life and relationships.
The most concerning thing that I want you to be aware of is the fact that doing any sort of evil on purpose will always make your life worse in addition to all those who are affected by whatever evil you do. No matter how you want or expect the situation to work out, that never happens and never will, because evil always makes everything worse.
So— if you think you need to do evil, this is what you do: identify what you want to accomplish in clear terms and never forget that is the reason why you are doing something unpleasant. Keep that in mind when you do what is necessary. Also identify what is unpleasant about what you are doing, why you may have thought of that as “evil”, and then minimize that specific bad element as much as possible. Do not add another evil without making an entirely different plan that you thoroughly think through to justify whatever you are doing as not evil.
That is what that accomplishes. What you initially perceived as evil, is justified by your end, your reasons, and your understanding of the suffering you are causing with the intent of minimizing that as much as possible and countering it with an additional good— all why knowing that every other option has been expended. Never choose to do something like that if you have another choice, especially not if you think it will go “faster”, “make more money”, or be “easier”. Always do what is more difficult but you know is good, rather than resort to something evil because you are lazy and greedy.
That’s it. I will not punish you if you do not meet this demand, nor will I count it against you, but… you will worry me. If you do something like that, it will cause a kind of tremor of resonance in the spirit-realm that will worry me because of the self-destructive threat to human life that kind of thing is. If you worry me like that, I may feel like I should go investigate the situation to see if it can be helped. If I go do that, then you may find yourself up close and personal with me and depending on what is happening I likely will upturn your entire local environment and disrupt all your plans, relationships, and everything else when I do so to get to the bottom of what is happening and resolve the problem.
As for the government… I need to make a living too, and I don’t use my reputation to do that. The last thing I want to do is eliminate all the servants of the government who are doing the work I do not want to do which would leave all that work for myself. However, if you are not doing the job you were trusted by the master of the house to do, then you are going to be removed from your job because I’m not the only one counting on you to do that job. Those jobs concern everyone, and if you are not satisfying the interests of the public, who are mostly poor, you are putting yourself in danger for not being useful when that is your very purpose. We do not need personalities in government, faith, or magic— we only need productivity and usefulness. Outside, among the citizens—that is where we enjoy our charisma, popularity, powers of faith, magical mysteries, etc. If you want to enjoy those too when you aren’t working in government, then ensure the government is a finely tuned machine that is doing exactly what it is designed to do, no more and no less.
If you want to be an “Illuminati” conspiracy, set one up outside of government and do not interfere in something so foundational to everyone. The government does not provide anything to us— the government facilitates what we provide for each other. We do not depend on the government to produce food, entertainment, wisdom, consumer products, or mostly anything else, but we do depend on the government to ensure the flow of those products, services, and resources is uninhibited and lawful to our Democratic agreement espousing Freedom. That includes information as a good and service. The government must not obstruct any of that or allow any of that to be obstructed with abuse of the law.
There should be no businesses using hostile strategies to attempt to eliminate competition. The only acceptable way for businesses to compete with each other is by the quality of their products and services. As a matter of fact make it a severely grave crime if a business or individual is found to be interfering on purpose by using a hostile actor or agent against any other business or individual. When it comes to love and romance, the same thing applies: the only acceptable way to “compete”, if you feel that is necessary, is with the quality of yourself. Never attack other people attempting to “eliminate them from the field”. Make this paragraph fully clarified in lots of different ways and crystalize it with an eternal law for our capitalist economy and national security concerning individual rights of citizens. If you trample an individual’s rights with misbehavior or abuse of power— that individual can be a very dangerous threat to a nation’s security which has promised to protect those rights. Think about what I was able to do in self-defense from that kind of oppression—do not let such avoidable chaos, criminal behavior by a government, and waste of resources happen again.
Last thing: I am not the only master of this house—each and every individual citizen has an equal share in that, even minors. I’m not a king you need to respect or give fealty to either as though I were your personal king of a realm, because that’s not what I’m saying. If it helps, just think of me like a foreign king from another dimension where humans also live (and other species), have nations, and a very similar way of life, and am being recognized for that fact as a coincidence because of what I have worked to bring about as a humble citizen and nothing more. They scrutinized my life with a hostile intent of exposing sins I did not have in a vain attempt to incriminate me, and they had no justification at all for doing so either. They were in fact forbidden from doing such an evil thing, but that is what was discovered about me, ironically enough. That really awesome and interesting detail about my identity was not necessary or relevant to my work as a citizen, but that work does concern every other citizen and they need to know for their own safety.
It’s like I am constructing a spiritual theme park for people to enjoy in uncharted territory as a business prospect that should net me a lot of delicious baked goods while also gaining some popularity to sell books if people are having fun and enjoy that unrelated profession of mine as a novelist. That said, it is going to be rather impressive and amazing with all sorts of attractions and rides so I intend to inform everyone about the construction so they don’t fly into it and crash when they are out saving the world or romancing princesses or whatever, just to be safe even though it is highly unlikely that would happen. I don’t need a permit for that, and nobody owns the spiritual realm with the kind of authority that could require a permit anyway, but it won’t take long to announce that information or be much of anything that need concern people with worry. That is unless—and this is a mild concern of caution liability— you are a spiritual pioneer piloting your way into the deepest, darkest reaches of spiritual reality. However, it is also good to know about in case you want a stop out in the darkest reaches of spiritual space to refuel, get your bearings, buy a map from the fuel station, enjoy some liberty, and have a good time before moving on. There is no reason why you should be opposing this, and if you are, you most likely are in no place to do so and have corrupt intentions, but I will hear your objections and answer them.
One last thing about my authority as a king, it’s possible we may even do interdimensional trade, but my sovereignty in my corner of the Story does not include the people or territory in this dimension unless I accept an oath you make in my service, in which case I will honor that oath with the dignity of a good king. I suppose an embassy would be possible for sovereign territory, but no, I do not want that unless that is necessary for all of us for some weird reason in the unknown variable, and I would appoint someone under oath of obligation to maintain it with my authority but not be involved myself. I just want to find a good maiden to marry and have fun with her forever doing whatever we want together.
