The Wretch  <   Moderate Middle   >   The King

=======================================================================
I.
Two sentences of prose whose function is to broach the topic.✔
(1)  We should all reduce our focus mindfully towards a dichotomy which has been enduring forever.  (2)  This dichotomy is expressed as a perpetual conflict between a formal king on one far end of a political spectrum and an informal wretch on the other.

II.
Five sentences of prose, elaborating upon and clarifying the theme.✔
(1)  Metaphorically, in the model above, as the king represents the greatest of rulers, the wretch is his exact inverse, or perverse, representing the very least among the slaves. (2)  Being the stronger of the two, the king is rational in his thinking knowing all things; meanwhile, the irrational wretch is distracted inwardly by a burden. (3)  As the king owns every property and all things on that property, the wretch owns nothing as she is deemed by him to be an illegal trespasser upon his property (and, thus, she is owned by him as his property). (4)  As he is sovereign in all civil matters, she is judged a criminal and, so, is powerless. (5) As she will learn how to prostitute herself in order to survive, so the king was trained, when he was a young prince, in how to thrive by prostituting others.

III.
Prose text.✔
As the king knows all, the wretch doesn't know anything.  Pertaining to the knowing, there have always existed three types of knowers in the world.  They are the sophists, the philosophers, and the alphas.  The eloquent sophist (wisdomer) knower is skilled in the art of oral debate.  He or she is an orator who entertains their audience with the notion that no virtue as truth can exist.  He or she substantiates this point by debating every side of a topic both the point and the counterpoint.  Granted, concerning the ultimate Truth, with it being the infinite measure of eternity, these sophist knowers do have a point as such a place would be unapproachable to us.  The second type of knowers are the philosophers (lovers of wisdom) who, while they do acknowledge the correctness of the sophist argument, venture further in their thought by the utilization of truth engines.  Indeed, these knowers develop processes in which quantities of raw data are inputted for the purpose of reducing large amounts of content to that of smaller outputs of quality truths.  So, while it is not possible to arrive at the Truth, one can find certain formal, best-principled paths in a direction towards that ultimate virtue.  The third type of knowers are the alphas.  They are the ones who are deemed to be knowers by the position of their births.  To put it simply, the alphas are sovereign knowers by inheritance.  They are either respected as knowers above all the other knowers in society or else.  This means the alphas will bully anyone into submission who might disagree with them.
Of the three types of knowers depicted above, the alphas have always remained somewhat of a mystery in society.  Indeed, in past ancient writings, they have managed to keep their cruel and brutal characters hidden.  They have been called tyrants, but that has always been a kind of self criticism describing the kind of menacing appearing anti-alpha leaders like Adolph Hitler, Saddam Hussein, or Fidel Castro.  Without giving it much thought, people today just assume that the good alpha knowers rule by rational thought.  However, the paradoxical fact is, the most powerful knowers in today's societies aren't rational, but operate as bullies.  Indeed, in the end, the ruling knowers are those who, by force of action, overpower others.  This Machiavellian / organized crime form of government has been long accepted as a necessary evil by sophist and philosopher knowers alike.  In contempt of the ultimate power which is the Truth, these knowers have to accept being abused by the false powers of manipulation.  Through the self deceptive use of disinformation, they confuse their lessors into following after them down the wrong paths.  They increase their power and maintain it by utilizing a willing media to spread both their deceit of misinformation and disinformation.  To perceive the difference between these two deceits, while misinformation are lies perpetuated by the state for reasons that are in the best interest of the people, disinformation are the justifications for utilizing those lies.  In other words, disinformation deals more with the deceiving of oneself.  While misinformation is deceit caused by the propagation of untruths, disinformation is self deceit caused by the spreading of fraudulent dichotomies.  Such fraudulent dichotomies are male against female, white against black, the young against the old, the poor against the rich, and so on.  Simply put, they manufacture deceit on a counterfeit foundation of false dichotomies.  While they feel they are justified in spreading the lies, a deception of disinformation has worked to convince those in power that they will one day be blameless while standing under the Light of Truth.  Yet, these false powers of manipulation cheat the people by distracting their focus away from the one model dichotomy.  Again, the model dichotomy above depicts what has long been an eternal conflict ongoing between a formal king of the highest rank, and that of an informal wretch of the lowest rank.
Today, we should honor those philosopher kings and sages of the past not for just what they were allowed to write and say, but also for what they were not allowed to write and say about the alpha knowers under threat of abuse. Such notable individuals as Tao Te Ching, Confucius, Socrates, and Plato could not write or speak directly about the alpha knowers, but had to lower their eyes submissively when addressing them in rational conversation or in written prose.  So, while one won't read much about these alpha knowers in ancient texts, realize their characters were always present with their menacing stares focussed threateningly over everyone in society.    

IV.
A specified number (4, 5, 8 or 9) of sentence pairs written in parallel, developing the initial argument. The parallel sentences address the topic and convey similar meanings, with similar structure but different words.✔

1)  Much to their benefit, as the alpha knowers have always managed to avoid having his or her roles defined in society, so has the character of the lowly wretch too remained a mystery.  2)  Society has always been thought to be divided into the two classifications of a master class and a slave class. 3)  But upon closer examination, the subtle workings of society reveal a third class.  4)  These three classes are a master class, a slave class, and an outcaste class.  5)  While the master class has long exploited the slave class, they together,  as a society of both master and slave classes, reject another class of outcastes from society.      

V.
Sentences written in parallel, with no limit as to their number, in which the central points of the essay are expounded freely.✔     Metaphorically, the outcaste wretch in the introductory model is the very least rated of three types of prostitutes.  The highest rated prostitute is the wife.  She is a woman who has been deemed worthy enough to sleep in the king's bed.  The second highest rated is the commoner (serfdom) woman.  While she is not deemed worthy enough to sleep with the king, her life may be spared by him as long as she is willing to kneel in his presence.  Finally, the lowest rated is the wretch.  She is outcaste from the king and his society even to the extent that she will be killed on sight.
     Compared to the wretch, the king is divided into two types of sons. One type is a Son of God. A Son of God is a renowned man as he is intimately known with a namesake being as he was born the offspring of a king. The fearful people will honor this princely Son of God as greater in worth than even the king himself his father. In contrast, a Son of man is a stranger and is the offspring of the wretch, with her representing the nameless and faceless. In contrast to how they will praise a Son of God, the fearful people will show disdain towards a Son of man rating him less than even his nameless and faceless parents. A paradox is expressed in the above description for, just as the term "God" has an intimate meaning, the term "mankind" has just the opposite impersonal classification. So, the one who is blessed as a Son of God will be exalted by the fearful masses as they will rate such a person greater than even the very greatest; meanwhile, in stark contrast, the one who is a cursed Son of man(kind) will be rejected contemptibly by those very same masses as they will degrade such a lowly person rating them as even more worthless than the very least from which he was born.

VI.

Sentences written in parallel, with no limit as to their number. Here, points not addressed in the previous section are discussed; otherwise, the writer may continue padding the ideas in the central argument. It is to be written in a serious tone rooted in realism.✔

     Indeed, the king receives his power from the people -- from the consent of the governed.  For example, the Buddha received his empowerment from wise men who sought him out.  In order to find him, they were born with a gift to read the stars which guided them.  When finally finding pinpointing his residence, they found the Buddha was not yet born and still within his pregnant mother's womb.  So, they picked him up by carrying the bed with his mother with her still laying upon it.  Unfortunately, during his birth, his mother died.  The people would then teach the Buddha about ideal perfection for, being Hindus, they believed, because he was reincarnated into one human being not from an animal, but from another human being, he was the very manifestation of God.       

     Problem is, someone left the door of the palace wide open which allowed the Buddha to venture out into the real world.  Here he would become traumatized after witnessing for the first time the harsh realities of sickness, hunger, poverty, crime, and old age.  Quite offended at being so misled, the Buddha then demanded that he be further taught everything pertaining to the reality of the outside world.  So, as they believed he was the very manifestation of God, the people taught him about reality also.  The point here being that the people were the ones who were responsible for empowering the Buddha.  In the beginning, the Buddha was taught about ideal life within a palace apart from the world and what it was like to live as a king.   Later, he then learned about real life outside in the world and what it was like to have to live as a wretch.

     Similarly, Saul of Tarsus had to live the life of the worst human being to ever live.  Indeed, he was the one who offended the Holy Spirit by hunting down and persecuting the Christian believers.  Indeed, Jesus in the flesh did not ask king Herod or the preface Pontius Pilate the question of why they were persecuting him, but He saved that question for the real one who was responsible.  In other words, Saul of Tarsus was the greatest of the worst.  These worst I speak of were the ones who were really responsible for empowering the drunken kings and the wayward emperors -- these latter ones being those who would declare themselves tp be living gods and worshipped as such.  So, the judgement of God as the Holy Spirit was reserved to fall upon Saul as the one responsible.  As a consequence, the very worst person of Saul had to be put to death spiritually, he could never be forgiven, so that he could then be reborn again into the Apostle Paul, as God's highest Apostle and, indeed, as God's chosen vessel. 

     To elaborate even further, it wasn't a king who later pronounced himself, by way of proclamation, to possess absolute power. No, it was one of his subjects named Sir Robert Filmer.  Robert Filmer wrote a book of political philosophy called "The Partriarcha" which favored empowering the king in order to find favor with him concerning his own increased empowerment.  In contrast, John Locke had to write a challenge to Sir Robert Filmer in secret to the extent that he would only reveal his true identity in his last will and testament. 

      Similar to the Buddha, Moses had to first be raised up as a king.  Along the way though, he was exposed to the fact that his true family were actually the Hebrew slaves of the Egyptians.  So, Moses lowered himself to become a slave.  In this way, Moses could understand the plight of the most wretched from the point of view of a king.

 Parallel sentence groups, each one consisting of either two to three, or else four to five, lines. Here, the main theme is revisited and loose ends are tied up.✔

As the worthless wretch would say, do not complain against the king out of fear or threat or you will be beaten on every level of society.  Indeed, the king is a metaphorical lion that devours both what he fears and is a threat to his domain.  Like the wretch, except for our inborn natural rights, we possess no power.  Like our Founders, we should remain submissive to the king's authority, but willing to both disobey any violation against our natural right to free will, and to be enslaved to a duty of our own free will to fight for that right.      

VIII.
Prose text where free expression and creativity are allowed. The concluding remarks are made here.✔
     When establishing a justified ordainment for our nation, our Founder's reduced towards a natural law.  This natural law was in opposition to past ordainment which, based on legal precedence, required one to bless a new king.  Indeed, our Founders could have bettered themselves establishing a king's authority as they could have then acted under him as superior conquering officials over the nameless and faceless.  Instead, they chose to perform intimately of, by, and for the people, as Abraham Lincoln once said, doing so in order to address all future tyrants and tyrannies that might threaten our new nation.  Indeed, as they themselves stood upon a solid foundation constructed by their own ancestors, and as they were mindful of divine providence having signed their names to a declaration of free will under penalty of judgement, they took a thoughtful step forward by declaring that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
     As all our ancestors on this earth have faced bravely the same great darkness and perished into it for our sake, so too should we all be standing in faith waiting on the supreme Truth, patient with the full realization that the worst tyranny threatening our Union today is being perpetuated by the very best mannered, the most pleasant, and the very kindest.  Indeed, we are being deceived by words that are spoken in the most eloquent of speeches.  We are being tempted to sell our souls for an empty box of goods adorned with a pretty outer wrapping.  And, finally, we are being confused with the false promises of hope and by quick changes implemented for the sake of change.   Such chaos has divided the people against themselves to the extent of atrocity, blinding white fathers to fight against their own black sons, forcing motherhood to abandon her children for a political cause, and confusing the people against the unbreakable natural laws, the very powers given to them from God Almighty, they possess within them.  
     But she will one day stand in faith and walk in faith.  Indeed, when reducing towards what we treasure most as our inheritance, as the same would be true among all the multitude of the earth, we too should never amend beyond the most precious alterations to what our ancestral Founders have scripted for our sake.  As already stated, our Founders once acted out a little masterpiece on our behalf, daring to perish with us during its enactment (indeed, even to sit among us as common members of the congregation), willing during the process to throw off their rightful social statuses as empowered Gentlemen within society.  They did forfeit those rightful titles in order to divorce us from tyranny through a painful process of cutting off our new nation's economy from Old World tyranny.  As our Founders thoughtfully and carefully narrowed to what they most treasured as an inheritance, so do we the people today narrow towards a king and a wretch.
     We the people of these united States do proclaim this king and wretch to be born equal, in some mysterious way, in both the power they possess and in the endowment provided to them by their Creator, possessing within the free will of their souls, as our Founders declared, the same exact business agenda for Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
