Life For Rent

We are born, in this world, into a game that's already started. We arrive late ...really late, for the game is nearly completed. As in Monopoly, all of the properties are owned and everywhere we land, rents must be paid.
 
We have no choice ...these are the rules of the game. The game is not an option. There is no other way to survive. The land and the resources necessary for alternatives are gone and laws prevent us from hunting, fishing and cultivating independent societies. To survive we need money and money is the key to winning the game.
 
All talk of freedom is absurd. We are only “free” to get into their game. The rules are set, quitting is illegal, so get started “earning a living”. We have no inherent human right to be alive. We must earn our right to exist by submitting to the authority of those who are winning the game.
 
We are unable to explore and develop our interests and talents in the order of importance that we define for ourselves. We can not use this gift of life, our time on Earth, in accordance with our own inner directives. We must rent our lives out in the marketplace, like a spare room that we'd love to use ourselves but that we simply can't afford to occupy. We must take what work we can get and hope that some day we will have saved enough to finally use the room for ourselves.
 
This is the depressing truth about life on this planet. There is no use in trying to pretend it's not really this bad. An ostrich with his head in the sand leaves his butt in the air ready to be kicked. There is no use in trying to tinker around the edges of the problem either. Wasting all your time and energy trying to fix symptoms of a problem while ignoring its cause is ridiculous. Unemployment, poverty, crime and pollution are just symptoms or effects of a much deeper illness. The real problem that we must understand and overcome is the debt/money system that the inventors of the game have been using for over 300 years to motivate, entertain and enslave us. Money is the carrot that lures us into the cage ...and the stick that prevents us from leaving.
 
Yes the game is almost over. Global corporations now own or control most of the Earth's resources. Democratically elected governments everywhere are deforming into secretive Orwellian elites, serving international masters, using intrusive police-state techniques to monitor and control their citizens. Genetic engineering and patents on food and plant life, and soon even human DNA, means that every square on the board of Life will be owned and operated for profit. A cartel of privately owned companies will own the rights to everything on Earth and the rest of humanity will do all the work for them or perish. Governments will exist primarily to enforce their rights. The game of Monetary Monopoly will then be complete.
 
It's only a matter of time until Mother Nature shatters our existing economic and political systems. If we the people aren't prepared and don't have a clear vision of a better way to reconstruct society, I shudder to think about the new world order the corporations and politicians will force upon us.

Here's a little head game that challenges people to look beyond the box of our culture:

Imagine a scenario where you are stranded on a remote island with 99 other people.

If you and everyone else on the island choose to adopt the same "me-first" attitude and competitive, combative approach to survival as the one that currently dominates the western world, the chances of you getting everything that you want or need are just 1 out of 100. All of the efforts of the other 99 people will be working against you.

If, however,  you and everyone else on the island choose to adopt a new, co-operative culture that simply changes the "me-first" attitude to a "you-first"  approach, then the chances of you getting everything that you want or need become 99 out of 100. All of the efforts of the other 99 people will be working for you.

It really is that simple ...go figure!
