We are being pick-pocketed by our government as well as our society in general, and guess what; we don’t give a shit. They educate us to be a mindless mass of people that are happy being given a number instead of a name and then they proceed to do all the David Copperfield smoke and mirrors to keep us “busy” over here while they rob us and manipulate us into submission. Are you effin’ pissed yet? Good.
There’s a solution to all of this, YOU, US, WE!! We as individuals need to stand up and take accountability for our own actions. We need to use this valuable time we’ve been given wisely. We need to give ourselves the gift of learning, loving, and living instead of the bullshit goal of “keeping up with the Jones’”. As corny as it is, we need to strive every second of every day to live our maximum quality of life.
My belief is once the masses start doing that, the world will change. When we realize how important the journey is and stop focusing on the “more is never enough” mentality, the change will start. But guess what, even if the change doesn’t happen around us WE will be living a better life because we made the change within us. The moral here is: Don’t talk change, make change!

Right on. It is time to break this insane society we’ve created where we strive to buy a house, and then become enslaved to a job to pay for the lifestyle. It brings incredible stress and resulting illnesses. And when things go well and we make lots of money, a false sense of happiness and security. That gets wash away in a heart beat with a divorce or other disaster.
We’d all be better off living 200 years ago where time is spent surviving and caring for loved ones.

Absolutely pops, we’ve drifted away from the basics and we get all caught up in more, bigger, better. Change can happen, but it starts with us!! Thanks, great comments!!
