Why are we, as a species, so determined to live by proxy?
We give others control of our resources, then "work" to reacquire them; we agree to choose another's middle-man or "saviour" rather than connect to the universe directly. We let others decide what "box" we should be stuffed into.
If you fit an established stereotype, that makes you neither more nor less valuable. One needn't grovel for the right to exist on this planet--least of all by giving away their power, to follow in someone else's ideology. So, why are people so reluctant to lay claim to themselves?
