Mental Bankruptcy & Misguided Loyalties
People who are mentally bankrupt often become blind followers and mouthpieces for those who are biased in judgment, scoundrel by nature, and disruptive in their actions. These blind followers and unwitting puppets promote the hidden agendas of such individuals and eventually face the consequences themselves. The irony of the fate is that the instigators who use them are the same people who, in everyday life, casually shake hands with those they publicly malign. They never step forward themselves, nor do they risk damaging their own relationships with the people they secretly oppose. The puppets mistakenly believe they are the driving force behind tarnishing the image of their masters' so-called enemies. These foolish fellows never understand that they are playing an unsafe, self-destructive game, one that isn't even their own, but someone else's entirely. These puppets believe they are walking a righteous path, yet they can hardly imagine where that path will ultimately lead them. Interestingly, their masters already know their fate well in advance but they remain silent, because these mentally hijacked puppets are following their instructions with complete obedience.
