ANARCHY OF SUBJUGATION

To be humble is a virtue often lauded by ethics , metaphysics, canonical and religious literature .Humility is not weakness but a philosophy of a strong mind accomplished with knowledge,morality and fruitfulness.A tree laden with fruits and flowers has tendency to get inclined downward.On the contrary,a naked tree stands erect .Even the law of gravitation validates it.A man climbing uphill always bows down to scale unknown heights.A man rolling down gets caught by the pull..Nature provides many allusions to authenticate this tendency philosophically and scientifically.Wisdom lies in living things we perceive with our inner eyes and not in letting these just pass as we do with a racing motor or scooter on road.However, it is this tendency to let things just pass which creates a false consciousness of objects in our surroundings.This false consciousness further gets hardened and forms our character.Subjugation is coupled with power to see the object of subjugation being maimed and cowed down.A psychological dive to dictate and rule better explains it..Aristotle divided entire race in two specific categories those of masters and slaves.Is one born to be master or slave ? This question is debatable if we go into the domain of philosophy .psychology, history and social anthropology.Therefore, I focus on chemistry of subjugator  and the subjugated.The psyche of subjugated person is fragmented by overpowering sense of social insecurity, fear of getting lost and annihilated .It is this lack of conviction,morality and and solidarity of self which makes one submissive.There are two states of subjugation or self-surrendering ; extreme devotion and extreme fear of getting annihilated.The former is not forced but arises out of love and devotion the latter arises out of fear.The former rejects the philosophy of fear and despair.In the later case one is afraid of getting destroyed.It is this fear which makes a subjugated being rejoicing the illegitimate :external authority and rejecting the internal authority of the self.Relapsing to one's internal authority one may lead to self interrogation and rebellious attitudes.Abnegation of self and dispelling fear are two arms to overcome self-created monster.On the other hand, the ruler or master sticks to his or her self propagated philosophy of power that might knows no other rights.It is this tendency of the mighty and submissiveness of the weaker selves that generates, perpetuates and practices the anarchy of subjugation.Salvation lies in rejection of the authority and building a stronger moral impregnable self.Otherwise anxiety would haunt our self as it  pervaded Kierkegaard :
 "I stick my finger into existence- it smells nothing.Where am I? What is this thing called world?Who is it who lured me into the thing,
and now leaves me here?How did I come into the world?Why was I not consulted?".
