the quality of

very great power.
-All-powerful-
“tripartite”
omniscience
Omniscience comes from the Latin omnis
meaning "all" and scientia meaning
"knowledge." Omniscience is a state of
possessing all the knowledge there is —
pretty impressive. In a religious sense,
people believe in a higher being that has
omniscience.
-All-Knowing-
“tripartite”
omnipresent
Present in all places at all times.
Something that is omnipresent
is present everywhere or seems
to be always present.
-All-and-in present always-
The analogy of society to a
God suggests the immense
power of society to make or
unmake lives of people.
Society is all powerful
because it ‘agents’ control
and runs the machinery of
social control.
It is all-knowing because its
‘library’ keeps all the
possible knowledge and
collects all the memories of
the people who form it.
Society controls the laws
made and to be made and
even the lawmakers.
Society is present even in
the most personal fibers
of our individual lives, in
falling in love for example,
and even in the way we
choose to die.
Society robs us of our
freedom and will, just like
when eating in the
restaurants, we can only
order what is on the
menu, no more no less.
Society is not at all bad news
rather it is good news because
by knowing how society
behaves, we can find ways to
at least lighten the load it puts
on us and pursue our
individual agenda and purpose
in life.
