1062: Here Versus There

The speaking about corruption, which I often do here, can be  very misleading in places like where I came from if taken according to the environment there not here. One of the biggest tests for morality is to have and maintain a democratic system. But that itself also may not be without price. I am not referring here to just that corruption has much more opportunity to exist in such systems than in dictatorships where everything is forced to go the way the government want, but also to a very special psychological factor. Group ego may gradually get very much developed to replace individual ego as a compromised solution between desires of the self and the morality required to maintain a democratic system. This is like a totally different world to persons who are accustomed to undemocratic environments. Freud has a book or collection of articles titled "Groups and The Psychology of The Ego" and I cannot believe now how then I used to look at that title and wonder what could be the connection. So in places like where I came from the separation in actions and persons between the good and the bad is much more distinct and there are much less ego unity games like here. Carrying the group ego on the individual ego like this and the new paths of satisfaction resulting from the expanded horizon and also the more distant and therefore weaker path for that satisfaction are all factors explaining the incomparable level of group talk sensitivity between here and there. But probably the worst consequence of this group ego situation is the joke justice systems here because of how they are built top down rather than bottom up and trample the individual for the sake of the group, rather than make xem the root. Killers get sentenced to just 20 and 25 or even less. Doers of this may take that as being good to others while not realizing that they are much more probably serving themselves through the shared ego group. Yesterday I watched a video about someone criticizing  what seemed to be celebration for the execution of Ted Bundy and says things like taking human life is big thing. What about the numerous lives he took? Only here one can here nonsensical talk like this, and the only explanation to it is that group ego thing. Then watched news telling that appeal to the Supreme Court to stay the execution of even such a serial killer was rejected by a margin of only one vote.
