self-deception (self misunderstanding) in choosing service

[neutral333]

One way I see this as having manifested in more of a concrete(dense) way is that the society probably dictated positive actions. For example forcing others to treat each other with love and respect. Forcing entities to recycle and conserve. Forcing entities to smile. Maybe they thought this would create positive outcomes, but force is control and therefore negatively serving the self of rule-makers, even if all willingly helped to create the rules.
