The Power of Ideas

Do you know that the world is ruled by Dead people? Yes! The world is the way we see it now is actually shaped & influenced by the people who are DEAD. Almost every system that operates on this planet governs on the principles that these Ancient people established. But how can someone rule the world without even being present in it? Why is it that the world is ruled by people in the cemetery? And the answer is not because they were powerful, wealthy or masters of the art of persuasion. Its because they influenced their contemporary world with their Ideas.

Ancient is so subtle that you do not even realize when you are under its influence and yet when that idea keeps multiplying, it manifests & metamorphoses itself into something what we usually call a Trend. And once this trend goes deep into the psyche of certain group, we call it a culture. Matter of fact, everything that you can see and cannot see was once an idea from the pencil on your desk to your electronic devices. All of them were an idea which got manifested at some point.

The Power of Ideas

Even the cultural clashes or the abuse on grounds of ethnicity or religion is an idea. Some groups somehow got an idea from an unreliable source that are better than the other group or they were bron to dominate the other group. They believed that their purpose was to oppress certain groups which they considered to be inferior than themselves. Now, due to this idea, they formed a concept which is actually a misconception of human misjudgment. Then their concept became their belief system. And their belief system led them to influence the nations.

When you read about Adolf Hitler, you would find out that the destruction that he caused to millions of lives started from a single idea which perhaps came from the wrong source. And this idea led to his misconception that God favors certain groups of people while others should be persecuted if they do not belong to that section of society.

Still not Convinced? Okay. Let’s see a much more relevant example. We all live in Democratic Societies (hopefully). But the word ‘Democracy’ is actually a Greek Idea. Greeks invented this idea of ‘Demokratia’ where ‘demos’ refers to citizens and ‘kratos’ means to rule. When the Roman empire invaded the Greece, they demolished everything except the concepts of Greeks. So they put this Greek idea of “Democracy” into effect and now almost the whole world is governed by this idea that a few men created.

The Power of Ideas

This is why ideas are the most powerful thing in the world because ideas do not die with death. They keep perpetuating themselves even after that person’s demise. So the whole content about it is: where do you get your ideas from? Where do you form your philosophy of life? Where do you get information about sensitive topics that is available cheaply all over the Internet? The source of your ideas is important than the idea itself. You need to check the source which forms your ideology because that will form your reality. You need to keep check on people who influence you the most and contribute to a large amount of your Ideas.
