It’s Time To Give Up the Toys We Were Trained To Need
Marketers and other hucksters have taught us to want mountains of useless crap. We are addicted to bread and circuses, to the Internet, to gadgets.
We waste most of our lives in pursuit of this useless crap. We work instead of living. When we are done working, IF we are ever done working, we are too tired and perhaps too old to live fully.
We never live. We work and die. They call this civilization.
They teach us to hate others. We hate the countries that are ruled by the Communists. They were taught to hate the countries that are ruled by Plutocrats. And then there’s countries ruled by Sheiks and other (ridiculous) elites.
Nobody tells us that it doesn’t matter who exploits us, who wastes our lives, that we are fools for wasting our lives on behalf of ANY elite. Nobody tells us that it’s really stupid to hate other victims and crazy to respect the victimizers.
Actually, somebody is ready to tell you this. Somebody is prepared to tell you what, deep down, you already know. Read on. We’ll get to that.
