When life is good, everything looks so good. i am looking for a car for myself these days, i have been hunting for a good deal, so walking into these car showrooms, it feel likes i am in heaven. Flashing new cars, 2011 models, and now even 2012 models are around the corner. Life indeed feels good.
But one key point is i have to have money, or at least a well paying job for next 48 months to be able afford the monthly payments for the new car. Then I realize yes this money thing is what creates heaven for us. so you have money, you are in heaven, you got no money, you are in hell. such is the very simple math of money.
And this is why, everyone is so caught up in the rat race to earn that money, so that fancy car can be purchased, or that fancy house can be bought. Its an endless rat race, merciless race, it takes no prisoners, if you win, you can buy your fancy car, and if you lose, you are as good as the dead.
So called good life, the heavenly feeling that you feel when entering a car showroom is exactly that, a show, a room full of shows. so must investigate what is the real show, what is the real reality of this show we all are caught up in. the show of consumerism, the show of capitalism, the show of endless buying and selling, the show of making a profit at any cost. the show of money is what this is all about.
earning money is what we do or taught to do from day one. that is why the word 'earn' is part of Learn. as we learn to earn. there you go again, money is everywhere.
But this endless chase, to earn and then to spend, this greed, this profit making, this blockbuster search for the next amazing thing to profit from, to buy, to sell, gosh, how long can this bubble of capitalism go on as is ? even with a face-lift or good hearted modifications to capitalism and consumerism the current money system cannot go on, it will take humanity to the point of no return. this very chase to survive will kill us. it is the stress of living that kills us, it is constant fear of no money that is killing us, it is the constant buy and sell just to survive is what killing us.
In a nutshell, capitalism is killing humanity slowly like that Chinese torture.
Not to mention all the environmental and eco disasters capitalism has made in its search for profit. all the companies are making money, the CEOs the executives all are making money. Even the BP executives got their big bonuses despite of the oil spill disasters. who cares, they got to make their big moneys. Capitalism how beautiful it is, for the rich can get richer, the poor gets poorer, the environment and the planet get fucked beyond recovery.
The principle of capitalism is lets make a profit at any cost. And doing so it will comply and be all 'legal' to give the impression that making a profit is actually a good thing. Anyways time will tell the real nature of capitalism for all to see very clearly.
I am surprise that only few years back i could not understand all these angles relating to capitalism, i completely gave into the notion that yes, winner takes all, and that we have to learn the art of surviving in this harsh market-driven world of ours. I actually like everyone else believed in such nonsense of capitalism.
And now i see, capitalism is the capital punishment for humanity, we getter get out of it soon. And thank god, there is a solution waiting to be considered.
The equal money system. It will end the self imposed capital punishment on ourselves, so it is our duty to study and investigate this equal money system.
