World Theatre
Imagine the world is a giant stage covered by a thick gold curtain. On the front of that stage you see the leaders of different countries and the heads of massive organizations. They wear different flags on their suits and they speak different languages. They point fingers and they yell and they act like they are in a huge struggle for power. They tell you that you have to pick a side and that you have to be angry at the people on the other team. They tell you that their rivals across the ocean are the reason life is so hard for you. They make it look like a life or death fight between two completely different worlds. But if you could walk past those heavy curtains and into the private rooms where the cameras are never allowed you would see that the fighting stops the second the doors close.
In those hidden rooms the enemies are not yelling at all. They are sitting at long tables covered in the finest food you can imagine. The leader who was just threatening a war on the evening news is now clinking a crystal glass and laughing with the very person he just called a monster on camera. They are not rivals at all. They are cousins.
This is not just a story from a movie. If you look at the family trees of the people in charge of the world you will see the truth for yourself. The kings and the queens and the presidents and the people who run the biggest banks are almost all related to each other. They are not separate leaders from different places who just happened to meet. They are one big and interconnected family that has been in charge for a very long time. They have turned running the world into a private family business that they keep for themselves and their children. The fights they show us on the news are just a play to keep us distracted while they enjoy the feast in private.
While the people on the surface struggle and argue over flags this family is living the best life possible. They have the best of everything and they keep the best secrets. They stay in power because they are the ones who own the seating chart. They are the ones who decide who gets to sit at the table and who has to stay outside in the cold. They use the theater of war to make sure we never look at the tunnels and the private paths that physically connect their giant palaces and their banks. They want us to believe they are miles apart when they are actually just a hallway away from each other.
The saddest part is that we are taught to be mad at our neighbors because of a script. This script is written by people who are all best friends behind the scenes. They want us to look at the flags so we do not notice that the leader and the enemy share the same grandfather and the same dinner table. They want us to believe they are different so we do not see that they are exactly the same. They act like they are competing for resources when they are actually just deciding how to divide the resources they already took from everyone else.
We outnumber this family by millions and millions. We are the ones who actually do the work that puts the food on their table every single day. We are the ones who build the buildings and grow the crops and keep the world moving. Without the people their long tables would be empty and their ballrooms would be silent. They need the audience to believe the play is real because if the audience stops watching the actors have no power.
The truth is that the table they sit at is held up by your hands. The only thing keeping the family in those chairs is the fact that you are still looking at the curtain instead of the floor. They know that if the people ever stop fighting each other they will start looking up at the people holding the silverware. When you finally realize that the border is just a fence to keep the audience in place you will see that the play only continues as long as you keep your seat. The show does not end with a bow. It ends when the people decide to stand up and walk away from the theater.
