Authority and You

Just as authoritarians need Jews, I need you. Of course if you do as you are told, it is all good. And I know you want to be good, and you want others to be good too. And the best way to be good, is to ensure others are good too. Then, it's all good, and all are good, Goodness me, don't listen to your feelings or mine, your feelings are bad. Your feelings will constantly tempt you, listen to me, they say. Listen to me and I will give you pleasure and happiness, they say, but don't listen because they will only give you pain. And if they don't give you pain, I will, and so will everyone behind me, and above me. Remember your place, and never forget who you are.
