And Nothing Else Matters

They have been known to say, “Family matters!”, although only in quite specific contexts.

Nowadays, it seems, they should say, “Only family that matters, matters!” [If you need a word of explanation, some pigs are more important than others.]

My only surprise is that anyone would be surprised in the change of outlook. After all, our disposable society has merely extended the concept to people. After all, They have finally admitted that to them the individual human life has no value. To them, only those humans who are willing to be enslaved really matter.

The People

THE PEOPLE is a beast of muddy brain
That knows not its own strength, and therefore stands
Loaded with wood and stone; the powerless hands
Of a mere child guide it with bit and rein;
One kick would be enough to break the chain,
But the beast fears, and what the child demands
It does; nor its own terror understands,
Confused and stupefied by bugbears vain.
Most wonderful! With its own hand it ties
And gags itself—gives itself death and war
For pence doled out by kings from its own store.
Its own are all things between earth and heaven;
But this it knows not; and if one arise
To tell this truth, it kills him unforgiven.

~ Tomasso Campanella (1568-1639)
