A full circle

Watching 'Game of Thrones', you soon realise that we, as a species have gone through a lot. Ever since our primate forefathers landed their feet on the ground for food, their ever insatiable appetite for food, wealth, mate and power just kept on increasing.

In the process of scooping their desires, not everyone got their chance of fair play. The playing field was lopsided skewed in favour of the bold, the strong, the giants amongst us and the perfectly abled bodies. The fairer sex, the lame, the old, the handicapped all lost in the quest. 

Like dwarf Tyrion Lannister who uses wit and deception and Stark's paraplegic son who uses his supernatural powers, the lesser beings always used other ways to survive. 

After seeing so much of devastation and heartaches left by man's actions, the survivors must have thought of another way of going about things. In rolled in the concept of an overseeing superpower that monitors our every move. A power who will assess our actions and inactions to mete out appropriate justice, if not in the present world at least in another better world.

Soon this wave of fire spread like heatwave the world over. When military forces crumpled due to corruption and inefficiencies, the theologians filled the vacuum. With the overwhelming powers and wealth, they did the same thing as the sorcerers, slashing and killing, this time with the self professed blessings and approval of the Divine forces.
Growing lethargic with killing and devastation, the world stayed hopeful by drafting common grounds for truce. At the their minds, the desire to control still ran deep. This time, money was the new power which could bring the world t the knees.
The losers of the economic onslaught, fearing of subordination, decide to withdraw into a cocoon. They decide to coil into an umbrella of the comfort of the old scriptures and try to relive the old times with its out dated justice and carnage. Just as their ancestors did many generations ago, they feel that God is on their side. And they mete out justice and protocols as if they had a direct audience with the the Almighty overseer. They insist that there are certain ways of doing it (each with their own, that is the problem) and there seem to be no comprise and no backtrack!
