Principles of Power and Decay:
By the High Elder Warlock
These statements form a set of principles of power and decay, describing how systems, institutions, and individuals tend to degrade when certain incentives, behaviors, or structural flaws dominate the scene.
They function as condensed cause-and-effect observations about political authority, social organization, and human psychology, emphasizing patterns where power detached from accountability, truth, restraint, or responsibility predictably collapses into corruption, inefficiency, or instability.
In this framework, “power” is not treated as inherently stable or neutral, but as something that either remains anchored to principles like truth, discipline, and reciprocity—or decays when those anchors are removed. The result is a unified philosophy of systemic fragility: a map of how societies weaken when feedback loops are broken, incentives are distorted, and reality is replaced by narrative, convenience, or control.
What goes around, comes around, just like Karma, God allows things to happen, if he stepped in every time, we wouldn't have any free will and be like zombies, I always think of God as giving us a stern look, pointing his finger at us and saying, I DIDNT DO THIS ,YOU DID
When things go right we forget God, when things go wrong, we run to God, the person we forgot. Alot of these problems would be corrected if we get rid of the ego, stop judging, start loving, work together, not against, a boat in the water goes nowhere if to people are pulling in different directions
