Everywhere I look I see them, creatures just doing what they’re told without thinking anything of it- mindless empty shells just wondering around and consuming everything around them and never fully understanding the consequences.  People have become more and more brainwashed into believing this is the way things are meant to be. I’m sorry but I don’t believe consuming everything in your path is the way to go, in the end you’ll have nothing but debt and then what will you do? No one is coming to bail you out, as is evident by this Government’s policies.

Society has been fed a steady stream of lies and misinformation, it baffles me when I see how easily people are fooled into believing such things, things like they must buy property, they must have a family and get married or else something is wrong with them. First of all, you don’t own your home, you have to get a mortgage from the bank so in essence they own tour home, and it will more than likely take your whole life to pay off the bank and in the meantime you are stuck in that neighbourhood because you have not paid of the mortgage, and if you miss a payment due to you have a job that sucks and that pays a unlivable wage- you will get kicked to the kerb!

People have been told all their lives that by buying property you have an investment, but what they don’t tell you is that “investment” is losing value. The following are just a few things that have an impact on the value of your property: the location, if your neighbourhood suddenly takes a turn for the worst, for example if local businesses close down or suddenly the crime rate jumps up- all things are out of your control but all have a negative effect on your investment. Lest we forget , if your hose went up in smoke- well then it’s all gone. Now why would you invest everything in something that could just go up in a puff of smoke?

People who have homes will spend most of their time working to pay the bills, because let’s face it, the wages we all get now hardly leave room for anything else! And people who are  delusional enough to have kids will just have further bills that inevitably result in debt for future generations, this is called indentured servitude , it may not be the type of slavery that we have all read in textbooks but it is slavery.

The thing that can give me a migraine is that people know this and accept it as the norm. They’ve come to believe in this system of “ working till you die”, that they have actually grown to love it and even defend it if anyone tries to challenge it, the way people feel about being  in this circle of debt and slavery remind me a little of Stockholm Syndrome. The way the captives would form a bond with their captors is a bit how the public feels toward this broken and corrupt system, and what makes it even sicker is that they like suffering! The people in this so called developed society are nothing more than masochists!  

 We have not progressed at all if anything we are going backwards!
