Regardless of the source of the OP i applaud them for eloquently and concisely "illuminating" the truth of the human condition. Well done.
I implore people to ignore the alleged source and read the message, it is through ENTIRELY of our own making that we are here reading this thread. We
are not controlled by others we are only controlled by ourselves, we, individually and collectively must take responsibility for the world in which we
all live.
We must take responsibility, did anyone make any of us take out loans, mortgages credit cards and live beyond our means? I can speak for myself when
i say nobody did.
Did i scream my lungs out in horror and defiance and cry out everyday NO NO NO! when i was so outraged at invasion of Iraq? Not really but i bitched
about it for years, somehow smug in my disdain of Bush and Blair (whom up to that point i believed in) whilst total strangers in places i will never
see died in the streets.
Did i bust a gut at university, or in the workplace? Not really, i did OK got OK grades but enjoyed myself immensely. Do i have a great job with a
great wages with a great home? Nope, but i get by OK, i could go on through all my life past and present, one thing is clear though, NOBODY BUT ME,
made my life the way it currently is. I consider myself a cheerful guy but would be a liar to say i am totally happy. I am now 35 years old, and i am
only now understanding the world for what it is and more importantly my role in it. Which is whatever i try to make it.
Many of you seem to feel the same, some come to this point a lot quicker than me, some later, i salute you all, those who disagree i salute you too as
you are also exercising control over YOUR lives.
So for me the OP speaks the truth, everyone can make up their own mind. As for the Illuminati issue, maybe, maybe not, but is that really the
point?
