When power is questioned, it is recognized. By reacting to power, power is enforced.
A natural and unspoken hierarchy develops—similar to what is observed in the animal kingdom, but a bit more socially sophisticated. People willingly submit to this hierarchy because they depend on it for their survival. In time, they think about themselves in relation to it, especially if they are career oriented and pursue higher education. They become different people at home and at work and this fracturing of their identity fits the needs of the greater system.
Most turn to another system for relief, but the real trick is to beat the system.

As one ages, one wides up to the realization that system you’ve “bought into” your entire dies not really care whether you live or die. Especially religious systems
