The enemy In the semi-darkness, he
saw someone slowly creeping in. He himself was also sitting in a dark corner,
pointing his rifle at the entrance and waiting. The person entering let his
eyes glide through the room of the half-ruined building, then he walked on in
the room, apparently wanting to rummage through every nook and cranny. "Hands up!" -
said the hiding man, almost in a whisper. "Put the gun gently on the ground
without turning around!" he ordered further. "Very nice! Now, hands
behind your head and in the other corner! Where the light is.” The other did
as he was told. “You will not escape us. They're looking for you everywhere.”
“Keep your voice down, otherwise I'll shoot you!” He paused. "If they
find me here, I'll take you with me to my death." He went to the gun and
picked it up. The steps around the
house moved away. “He is not here. Over there to the next ruin.” Both the one
who had entered and the other who was hiding began to breathe more deeply,
one because he was allowed to do it again, the other because he could do it
again. “For whom or what do you risk being hunted down. You could have a
quiet life, a job, a family, a house.” “Well, then I wouldn't be better than
you! A henchman who serves the powerful.” “I know that not everything is
going ideally. But could you show me a better system?" "And because
you'd rather have a big belly, you just join in then." "If only
people like you existed, humanity would have died out." “Well, then the
powerful would have to look for new slaves. But they would probably degrade
the lowest among themselves. For example, people like you. You see, that's
why they are actually dependent on us and not we on them. Who else would do
the dirty work for them and also pay taxes to maintain their system?” “But
there has to be some kind of rule, otherwise everyone would do what they
like.” “There are two Options. Either someone makes himself the leader and
commands what is law and order, or all start to think about it and find a
common solution.” “Democracy? It doesn't work. Man will never live for the
common good.” “And that's why it is better if only one person terrorizes
everyone else, or if a small group determines what should happen? Shouldn't
everyone be taught and recognize what is right?” “You are a dreamer!” “Possible!
But humanity is going in this direction. At first only a Pharaoh ruled and
people like you were buried with him. Today we already have parliaments.” “Today's
world is godless.” “In the past, someone played God. But tell me why you
believe so much in the current power?” “It makes our country great again.
There was a time when brave fighters died for their country, king and faith.
What we see today are all just selfish individualists.” “Do you know how
ordinary people were doing back then? So that such a leader could spread his
fame all over the world, many had to suffer, starve and die.” “Who cares
about the little man?” “Isn't the small one just as good or bad as the big
one?" "And that's why you make a revolution every now and then, in
which thousands are killed and the whole order is turned upside down." "How
many have to die to maintain this order? And then, of course, there are
always henchmen, like you, who are thrown a few crumbs so that they get
killed for the big ones. Or maybe, do you want to claim that you get more
than a few crumbs?” “It depends on what you call crumbs. I lead a normal
life.” “And what about your conscience? Have you ever thought about the fact
that as a henchman you shouldn't think but only obey orders? You have to know
that thinking is detrimental to order!” “You will not convince me! With you
there is only chaos, nothing would work!” “Did you know that law enforcement
officers were slaves at the time of the Romans. Back then, no proud citizen
would have given himself up to spy on others." |
