Hi Billtoo,
I think it is a pretty simple thing to understand, but tough to accept from our point.
The Policy makers being the Gate-keepers enjoy playing this Ball game. I dont know how many balls they can handle and what color they are, but must be limited, maybe two - the good & not-so-good. They squeeze & release, squeeze & release to the level of their comfort. While they enjoy the Ball game, we are expected to enjoy the Patience, until we move from darkness to light, bonded to freedom.
Good luck.
