From a young age, humans are born into a society that is but a shadow of the natural one not perverted by the world economic system and how it is currently misunderstood by the governments of society. Physical possessions and unearned paper wealth have replaced charity, and the ageless idea of working hard to get what you want. Large corporations impose their deluded beliefs on huge masses of people through the media, and the people have no other way of seeing truth other than through this one outlet. We are all forced into a toxic and degrading lifestyle at times just to keep ourselves alive.We are all stuck with debts we cannot pay off no matter how hard we work or how enlightened we are and we are pressured into thinking this is the only way to live because the laissez-faire book of economics says so.

The law of "just because I can." erases the law of reason and accountability. In a world where so few have enough and so few have too much, it should be no surprise depression and suicide rates have skyrocketed. Nowhere in the universe, exists this kind of perversion of nature and imbalance of life. It is a violation of nature itself. When man, as a collective imprisons his own species with an economic system that was designed with the belief that humans don't have feelings, the only outcome is violence and unhappiness among members of that society.

However, there are some of us that reject the belief that life's sole purpose must be to make paper money and create unneeded waste. We are well aware that the best things in life are free and will not be duped into believing we need material possessions and overly large cars and homes we cannot afford and a job working for the same deluded corporate culture that wants us to believe we need all this crap. Societies that flourish are ones that consider money a form of exchange of goods and/or services, nothing more. Ones that consider homes as a place to live, not a way to try making your neighbor feel inferior by having a larger one and in the process bankrupting yourself and throwing money you spent your entire life earning in the garbage when the home gets repoed. There is no possession on this planet that is worth your life, yet we are meant to feel as though there is. Our economic system was designed a long time ago by people that did not understand these things that we call legitimate friendship, love and compassion for others so they just assumed these things did not exist and all humans must not want to do anything else with their life other than make paper money and acquire possessions.

We absorb all these things and make the best of it, until of course, we, as a collective set our standards higher.
