Tyranny in my Life

I've lately noticed the tyranny I live in, and found it extremely ironic that I didn't realize until now. In school, we learn about democracy, totalitarianism, socialism, capitalism, communism, dictatorshp, monorchy etc. Ofcourse, if we learn about these things, that only proves that we are a great democracy, right? But, I observed the opposite. Watching my own reactions, as well as reactions of others in my classroom, I totally saw that we were under a dictatorship, in which my teacher was the ultimate dictator, but ofcourse, kind. haha. My family is a dictatorship as well. So is the rest of my life.
When my teacher asks someone a question in class, the person gets all nerveous, unconciously emitting fear toward the expectation, teacher, situation, his insecurity etc. The teacher rules the classroom. They are the adult and leader of the class, as well as "teacher", which has come to mean not someone who teaches but someone who should be honored, respected and always listened to. The teacher knows everything, the student nothing. The student and teacher are definitely not equal. This is completely wrong and needs to be changed in the education system.

Even I am a tyrant and dictator for the dog I walk. I walk with him tied to me. By his neck, a painful thrash from me and he has to obey. It's like I own him, even though I don't, but he does have an owner. The dog is nothing but a slave, maybe the slave is loved, but a slave nevertheless. During our walks, I unconciously dictate the rules, when we will go home, where I want to walk and where I don't, if I should say "good boy" or pull him, it is all my decision. Where is the equality in that? We are not equal as we exist right now. Somehow, the lives of the dogs must be changed. The system of values for "ownership" must also be changed.

With my family, what my parents say, I must obey. I am "under their care" aka they own me. I can rebel, and I do, but they system is set up in a way that children must listen and obey their parents. Obeying someone. We are slave like as children, in most cases. This must also be changed.

Emotions are dicatoring me (lol made up word). Unconciously, really, I didn't notice this until now, they dictate me.  A situation arises, and I act like I do because of my emotions. Where is the equality in that? Of course, that is up to me to change, so I am changing it.

The system forces everything that lives in it, humans, animals and even nature to leave according to the system. There is no free choice ever. You live like you have to if you want to survive. It's attrocious. There is no equality and no freedom of choice. This must be changed.
