I am officially calling out to them and saying, let the blood be on their hands, they truely comprimised and voided the life experience and voided any
kind of true growth of humanity and human life. This life experience is a scam, they say we have freedom and free will but we dont have freedom and
free will. We all live in material prisons defined by a financial hierarchy, one which is designed to keep people in their income bracket.
I 100% agree man. What kind of life are we all living. We wake up, go to work, half of us don't enjoy our jobs. We go home. And are
thankful for the money that was just put into our bank accounts. Rinse and repeat for 30 or 40 years. Then grow old and die. Personally, I think it is
a horrible life. The only way we all get through it, is enjoy all the little things in life. Something needs to change NOW.
The problem is, I think the only thing that could possibly fix us is some type of spiritual change. We're engaged in the same rat-race that humanity
has been confined in since the beginning of our consciousness. The very idea that technology will save us is fallacious-- eventually we will not even
be satisfied with our new technology. A lot of our lives are already pretty comfortable-- compared to most of history at least-- but you know as well
as I do that eventually we will demand that our lives become more comfortable still.
That is why most people-- rich and poor alike-- will never stop working. A rich person may have billions of dollars, but his desire for trillions is
likely just as strong as your desire for millions (or whatever depending on your socioeconomic status)-- and for the most part, you will both do
whatever it takes to make more-- even if that means harming your fellow man in some disconnected but significant way. (Obviously I don't know you
specifically, but I've never met anyone that this didn't fit at least partially, including myself.)
Various religious figures have presented solutions to this problem. For example, Buddha decided to eliminate desires in order to reach his nirvana.
Jesus decided to help others, and refrained from judging them unless absolutely sure he was not being hypocritical.
I think the basic lesson here is, find a way to achieve your own personal nirvana, and realize that external factors have a finite impact on the
workings of your mind.
It's that tired old cliche again-- Happiness comes from within.
