I've been thinking about the mythology of Dragons recently, and we are told that the typical Dragon was a fire-breathing beast that would fly though the lands, hording riches and gold, and had a hide as impenetrable as plate armor.  Furthermore that these creatures were wise and seemed to be immortal.

Dragons never left the world.  The term dragon is nothing more than a metaphor to describe the wealthy elite,  noble class.  Let's talk about it:

Dragons horde wealth, sleep within their caves upon piles and piles of gold.  Rich people do the same thing.  In fact, their only love, much like that of dragons is only for gold.  Dragons were also seen as merciless, and horrible uncompassionate creatures that terrorized the common people.  In today's society, wealthy men are doing just that.  And they have a mentality to live by Rules for Thee, not for Me, full of arrogance.  Dragons flew, allowing passage to places far and wide without any inconvenience.  Wealthy people today enjoy that same type of lifestyle.  With a little money, they can buy passage upon a private jet, and not have to deal with the common people, soaring alone in the sky, far above the rest of us.

The fire-breath weapon of the dragon is nothing more than propaganda.  False news, to stir up drama and gossip among the common people.  To keep us divided.  They make up many narratives, that are completely believable, and then use them as tools to drive the common people apart... much like spouting fire from the air, people would flee and scatter to avoid getting burned.  Modern day propaganda keeps people from joining together in unison, because we're all too worried about skin color, gender identity, and political affiliation.

The tough skin of a dragon represents how untouchable they are by the weapons of the Law.  In fact the Law IS their hide.  Laws are crafted to protect them, the wealthy elite, from harm, loss of property, and allows these entities to do anything they want.  The Law is only meant to keep the common people under control.  Just take a look at how many redundant laws we have here in the United States of America.  And we have a group of monsters that are aiming to take away the Rights of the People, that are supposedly guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

In myth, apparently, the only way to kill a dragon is to pierce it though it's heart, along the delicate underbelly.  Unfortunately, this I fear truly is only a myth, because bastards who are wealthy beyond what they, and the next five generations of all their family members could possibly spend during their entire life times, don't have any sort of heart.  They are cold, uncompassionate, and completely lack empathy.  Truly beasts.  If I were to take a guess, I'd say the wallet is the heart of a dragon.  We must injure that. Take away the ability to generate more wealth.  But how?  What weapon do We the People have, and whom among us is strong enough to wield it?

I love dragons, hands down! Especially the fictional ones and Capcom's Quiz & Dragons where RPG and trivia comes together.
