The search for a dictator

Many people sabotage freedom and democracy because, unknowingly, they need a system to sense the monitor there.

Among the many characteristics that identify us is the sensitivity to pain and pleasure: Some people enjoy small rewarding stimuli and others need large doses.

Another feature, similar to the above but less known, is referring to how many signs need everyone to feel that there.

For example, an artist who found success can feel on the verge of death when nobody asked for autographs and, conversely, who has spent many years in the solitude of a prison or ostracism of a convent, may be the verge of a heart attack if he visits his family is surrounded by ten people that give a very noisy welcome.

Another feature, similar to the above but less known because we refuse to believe in it, refers to how we wish to live in an undemocratic regime, police, repressive, controlling, persecutory.

Both are opposed to believe that we are capable of preferring a dictatorship, that we are outraged when rumors about some kind of state control over our identity, habits, heritage.

One of the worst features of psychoanalysis is to allow analysands feel free to speak their minds without censorship interponerle accepting them as they are.

Why is this freedom to reject though, beating the chest, fight for it?

As I said above, not everyone has the same sensitivity to the signals needed to feel that we exist.

For many people it is very reassuring to know that the police control your phone calls, correspondence opens them, who watches with whom they meet, because they need someone to recognize their existence giving signals at very high doses.
