Currently, we live in a world where the best of us aren't just seen as role models for others who are failing in any area of life to imitate but rather as competitors in the line of challenge. Of course, there might be one or two things to be learned from our so-called competitor but the essence of the learning isn't just for first-hand meaning but rather to compete with them, be better than them and then set a margin where it would be difficult for them to stand as a threat. At first, the main purpose of this could have a very impactful meaning to our society, as those that aren't rendering the best of services we need or desire should be either corrected and learning their lessons or pushed out of the way while those that mean business and understand what the real intent of service providing is mount up to do the task.
The above-established paragraph should have been the best line of living so as to make this world a better place but then, because of how untreated the minds of the competitors are, they choose to do the other way around by going through monopolisation. Because of how awful this is, it has crumbled so many nations, countries, local governments, villages and so forth. One bad thing about this is that the cabals and those in power that should have scrapped this out, fighting it tooth and nail, are even those promoting it all because either they are the main owners of what has been monopolised or they have a big rationale for what has been monopolised such that they won't bite the fingers that are feeding them.
Concurrently, there have been cases of people arising and wanting to break this system of monopolisation, but because their backbone isn't strong enough, they end up doing themselves more harm than good, causing the whole system to turn their back on them and because of this, they might end up losing their lives or being outcast in a way they won't have the chance to come back to fight the system. The route of strategy by which the system that is already corrupt fights these people with good intentions to stop the monopolisation is by increasing the taxes and wages paid by these competitors such that at the tail end of it they stand losing without any gain made on something that should have brought gain. If that couldn't work, they would reduce the cost of the services they are rendering so that the competitor in the market would be left blacked out. If that couldn't work either, they physically pick a fight with the competitor either by sending their bad executors to inflict harm on the competitor or even kill the competitor.
Where Then Do We Go From Here
Its obvious enough that this has become a custom to some people and in some areas and for things to change, the real problems should be solved from the tap root, not just on the surface, because if it is handled on the surface just like a tree, there are tendencies that the problem will resurface again and maybe cause more harm than it already did.
One odd thing about monopolisation is that the facilitators determines the nature of how the market will be, ranging from the prices, the distribution and the rate and amount of what is to be consumed—that's, if it is a consummable product. The owners or facilitators might decide of the days to produce a limited number of what ought to have served the whole area without any reason and they can't be questioned about it. They can even decide the amount they would charge for the services they are rendering; the rest would be the case as they are the decision-makers. This of course would continue on and on until there is a change.
Frankly speaking, I think that regardless of the fact that this is a common prevailing issue, I still believe that the greatest weapon to achieve anything in life is the people—the heart of the people, to be precise. It has been proven beyond doubt that the real change in humans doesn't start with the change of clothes, shelters, business or anything else but rather with the change of heart. I think the wrongs that have hidden behind monopolisation would be corrected if:
(a) The masses are made to know the truth and what they stand to loose if they let monopolisation not only set in but have its root firm downwards.
(b) The height of patrotism is rated high in the minds of the people governed such that they would do anything possible to see that the country work for the better. When the love of the country is much more increased in the minds of the people, they:
Would want the country to work for the better by not just only contributing their quota but also going overboard with it.
Would refuse to be manipulated or bought, regardless of what the price might be or what they stand to gain if they gave the room to be bought.
Would protect the image of the country such that only what is good would prevail and be said about the country.
