There are countless narratives the mind uses to excempt our own actions from the most basic rules of ethics we expect everyone else to respect, but these three stick out:
1. Victim:
"I have been victimized, therefore I get privileges (special rights/rules) as compensation."
2. Savior/Government:
"I am trying to save the world/climate/republic/democracy/order, therefore I get to have privileges.
3. Spiritual:
"I am advanced/enlightened/awake/chosen/special and therefore the common rules don't apply to me.
The first one is probably the oldest narrative in the world. The second one is the one used everywhere to justify control/power, and the third one is bubbling up all around.

I speak for myself: 1. Not an old narrative but accomplished facts: Hacking ... Kidnapping ... Repeated thefts ... Torture ... Mafia-style silence ... and an infinite number of lies and deceptions ... and no one has paid for these offenses ... So yes, as far as this point is concerned, I personally feel that a sort of compensation for these unpunished ugliness is a natural phenomenon ... 2. Yes In the past I felt I could redeem humanity and save it with Me through a crazy path but with great sacrifice and always and only attacking myself to the limit ... and a reckless trust "in the other" ... Trying to express a divine love ... 3. All this has certainly made me experience a more spiritual and less material and earthly realm and I reached truly incredible heights that I never thought could exist ... But I speak in the past because by now my soul is contaminated by a hatred born from a mistrust that I do not believe it is possible to completely heal ... And therefore I accept this compromise and following mediocrity ... like an old man who knows he will no longer find the drive and strength that only unconsciousness and naivety could fuel ... once known ... I can no longer love "the man" ...
If this sounded like I'm saying perpetrators shouldn't be punished, nobody can ever save anyone or sacrifice himself for others, and that spirituality is fake, I have failed completely at expressing myself.
The point I'm trying to make is not about reality, but self-serving fantasies.
Your words are true and your speech is right ... so much so that I felt called into question because at a certain point things happened that put me a bit in the situation you describe ... and my words try to explain (to the world and to myself) the reason, not finding a solution ...
From what i've learned, i can say that your inner spirit to fight for a better world are coming from very deep. It is the root this world implanted in us when we were born.
We want to value everything because we experience everything in states of value, but the clue is.. the value comes from within and not outside. No one can say to you that you should value something if you didnt get why.
And heres the tricky part. We are living in a society full of loops, messing with our systemic value imprint. It creates shadows which hinders the true value in us to grow because of lacking sun.
You are alright. I just would recommend to connect to your deepest origin again by sitting down with yourself in the forest or next to it. It gives me energy and a very great feeling. Sun baths are also sooo intense too. Just go out without shirt and let the sun do its work.
You may not find yourself by only doing this,but you will find something which gives you the state of searching for the truth which lives within you. ❤️
