Broken Promise


Broken Promise: Where countries promise their citizens a service (Education, Medical services, income supplement) and then reneges on their promises (or create a bureaucracy that denies certain social groups such as the elderly, based on arbitrary criterion, and where the deciding members of that board are shielded from accountability or redress).


Delusion:  Living life under the belief that promises will be fulfilled; when they are not, then appetite for victimhood will substitute responsibility, thereby eclipsing the flawed concept of trusting others to fulfill personal wishes.
Freedom:  There is long term evidence of our society perpetuating slavery; disguised as this enamored notion of deserving entitlement. Where the illusion that being unaccountable somehow gives reason to not aspire to more than ready-made excuses for not trying.  Liberating oneself from expectation is the greater freedom there can be.
