When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its unscalable height.
During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. ...
And each time, the hordes of enemy infantry never needed to penetrate or climb over the wall...because each time they bribed the guards and came in right royally through the gates!
The Chinese built the impregnable wall but forgot to secure the loyalty and character of the wall-guards.
This shows us that character building should come BEFORE any other building activity or development!
Like one Orientalist put it:
If you want to destroy the civilisation of a nation there are 3 sure fire ways to achieve it.
1. Destroy family structure
2.Destroy education
3. Lower their role models and references
1. In order to destroy the family: undermine the role of the Woman. Her role as nurturer and anchor. Her sense of being safe. Take away her self respect. Confine her to a subservient place of fear and slavery.
2. To destroy education: you should destroy the Teacher, and lower his standards as a catalyst of free thinking. Keep him tied to poverty of the mind and body so that society and his students despise him. Imprison him with materials to deliver that cannot be examined, only consumed.
3. To lower the role models: you should undermine the Philosopher and Scholar. Keep them engaged in controversy and resistance rather than creativity. Close down their sustenance and doubt them until no one listens to them or follows them. Get them to write in praise of your ideologies. Punish dissent.
For when a mind nurturing mother disappears, a dedicated teacher disappears and there is a downfall of role models, WHO will teach the youngsters VALUES?
Think about it.
Are our homes also invaded? Are our great walls being breached?
