Stockholm Syndrome and the World

Stockholm Syndrome and the World

People who have studied the Stockholm Syndrome believe it is a bond that forms when a captive is threatened with death by their captor. And after deliberation the captor decides not to kill their captive. The captive then is so relieved they form a bond with the captor. The desire to live, trumps the urge to hate the abuser. They may even take on some of the attributes and characteristics of their captor. Recently a statement was made about Americans as a whole, having Stockholm Syndrome. And that we are used to being abused. Are we? At the beginning of man’s history in the Garden of Eden man was told not to do something. If he did he would die. Sub sequentially a different being appeared who was referred to as a serpent, and lied to the man. You will not surely die. The threat of death was removed and the man believed the serpent. And subsequently became a captive to the serpent who was the captor. Mankind to varying degrees has taken some of the attributes and characteristics of the captor. But one day mankind will be free.
