Appealing to the dark spirits

As I stated three days ago, opposed to

• righteousness is despotism,
• openness is haughtiness,
• valour is daringness,
• mastery is desolation,
• dutifulness is forgetting and
• charity is distinction.
  

And while I gave examples of these opposites, I didn't reflect upon the ways they are being appealed to.

• Despotism is being appealed to by providing an opportunity to partake in the exploitation of someone else's dependence,
• Haughtiness is being appealed to by flattery, i.e. providing people with a framework for their social recognition.
• Daringness is being appealed to by providing an opportunity to gain an advantage over others with precious little effort.
• Desolation is being appealed to by providing protection from punishment.
• Forgetting is being appealed to by indulgence, i.e. providing people with an excuse to forget.
• Distinction is being appealed to by providing people with safety in their affairs.
  

By the way, I see no value in despotism, haughtiness, desolation and forgetting, but since the world is big and man is small, I think that daringness and distinction are appropriate in matters we have little control over. Still, seeing this list before me, I must admit that every single entry reeks of an attempt to expand the devil's rule on earth and whoso is recruited is at best cheap, more likely worthless and quite possibly malicious.
