Social Parasites

Religion, sports, corporations, schools, retirement homes, prisons, police and the military are massive global communities that attract people who want to do good to make a difference in the world. But because they are so huge and complex, they also attract a percentage of impostors with bad intentions who infiltrate and hide within these professions to silently and secretly pursue evil and wreak havoc.

Like parasites, they are embedded inside their host. Their leverage is magnified by many times because they operate in an environment of trust which enables them to ambush kids and adults they are sworn to serve and protect.

This is a dark corner of human nature that will be very difficult to stamp out:

  • some priests and ministers will molest children;
  • some cops will occasionally kill people on the street; and
  • some soldiers will torture and rape the women of their enemies
  • some guards will wield and abuse their power inside prisons.

Our only hope is to be constantly vigilant and never give up on the ideal of giving every woman, man, and child a chance to grow up in a safe and loving environment without abuse, without violence, without trauma, so that we stop replanting over and over the seeds of evil that may someday sprout again.
