We're all ...C.J. and Ricky, you guys are right. We're all just spinning our wheels working day in and day out for a measly few days a week off to unwind and gather our thoughts only so we can go back and do it all over again. It's never felt right for me. I've always valued my time more than money and that's why I've never "accomplished" much in life. I just can't help it. I have to be free. The Native Americans largely had it right and on average they worked about 14 hours a week hunting,gathering,and day to day chores. They had plenty of time to spend with one another and to live their lives in sync with nature and not opposed to it. All that's gone now and poverty is on the rise - not just in the so called "developing" world but also here in the west. The greedy corps are working us longer hours and requiring more from us with less to show for it. The whole word is becoming one big sweat shop.I can go on and on about the possible outcomes of what this might lead to but there's already enough dystopias written about this very thing. <br /><br />Ben https://www.blogger.com/profile/03800165034255683953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374095353805822303.post-89285310674830410502012-09-27T13:27:04.289-07:002012-09-27T13:27:04.289-07:00The rat race is a fool's errand. I was once a ...The rat race is a fool's errand. I was once a part of it until I opened my eyes to what is truly around me. Capitalism is a serious type of hellish cancer on this earth. Without it, we all could have so much more to live for. Each other instead of fictional personal gains. I myself began to live without money, without possessions, without worry. Like the birds, like the deer, like the fish. People in our system think that they have to work to get to a certain point in thier life. To attain a certain place where they are a "superior" form of themsleves through financial gain and assets. They fail to see the truth. The truth that they are already who they will ever need to be. No job, no place, and no posession will ever change that. Flesh and bone, like everybody else. No better or no worse. Capitalism. The posion of the earth. From great Rome, to the demise of the Native Americans, to the greed of modern day America, to the sweat shops of Asia, with all of history pointing and screaming the answers to mankind's problems in our faces, we have changed very little.
