Having a soul means we each have incalculable and immeasurable value. That we are living, conscious carriers of evolution and be recognized as such. We should never be treated as a commodity or a thing. But even were there laws that proclaimed perfect democracy, there would still not be perfect democracy, because those individuals who were maltreated and insufficiently reared in their childhood would cause the democratic laws to become meaningless. For they would readily submit to injustice as adults as that would simply be a continuation of how they were treated as children.
Democracy then can only happen one person at a time.
If we think of ourselves as therapists in the traditional sense then we can only work with individuals when they consider themselves ill or have troubles. Many people who are in power and have the will and resources to force others to taste the bitter fruit of their distorted histories may not necessarily consider themselves as candidates for therapy. Only a conscious and well educated electorate could block their depredations. Education and not traditional therapy would seem to be the answer. My wife and I have often thought of what it would be like to offer PBSP programs and courses in all levels of education.
