"There are times when all the World's asleep,
the questions run so deep, for such a simple man. Would you please, please tell me what we've learned, I know it sounds absurd, please tell me who I am"
Roger Hodgson - Super Tramp - Logical Song
“God is Money, Money is God”
Yes, it is true, “money” is the one and true God, it is just an inanimate object that has evolved into a psychic experience that has greatly changed human lives and it’s existence all throughout the world. It is all but part of an underlying hypocrisy that is masked by the term “hope and perseverance” which is used to capture the vivid imagination of people that actually believe that they still have hope in their lives and the only means of attaining “hope” is by attracting money and abundance into their lives. They believe this so much that money begins to engulf their core values to a point at which it becomes their sole purpose in life, as it provides security.
To most people, this can be very enticing that one has to believe that their is really such a thing as hope in life. We did not have so much as a problem living our lives before the evolution of the financial system that had made the lives of almost everybody in the world, a bloody nightmare! Today, money is a part of our lives as that of the air that we breath and it has become so important that it can corrupt even the most closest, tightly bonded interpersonal human relationships. The attitude of family members and friends can instantly change and even be severed when the topic of money steps in between any individual.
Friends become foes, families break up, all just because of money’s mysterious allure that it changes the way that you look at the world and the people around you. In reality, money is benign, it is people that change and the way they perceive what money is to their lives. People are generally greedy and evil and there is no amount of religious or philosophical belief that you can impart to for them to change their minds. For most people, money is more powerful than anything in this world. It is the sole driving force that crashes nations into squalor, rouses paranoia against other people and give individuals their sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
“Hope: The World’s Most Sellable Commodity”
Hope is a commodity, whether that be personal spiritual salvation in it’s various forms and principles or the chances of being able to win the lottery, hope itself is the hottest selling commodity in the market today and always has been. Trillion dollar corporations and religious businesses have bankrolled in optimizing their earning potential in basing their marketing strategy in selling hope to people all around the world. There is no doubt in debating the effectiveness of this approach, as you can clearly see how selling hope to people generates a ton of money in return for these corporations (including the religious sector).
You obviously have seen these self-improvement sites that offer digital products that cater to improving your present state of existence, as most of these sites claim to bring an improvement to the way you look at life for the better, but does it really work? Is it all just about suggestive reasoning why most people think that there is really hope for the world? Or is it just a simple marketing ploy to entice people to keep on relying on themselves to make a better change for their lives? Whatever it is, one thing is for certain that someone is earning from all of this on the other end. Self-improvement coaches has got to be one of the most successful rackets that any online entrepreneur has ever conceptualized, just like those “as seen on television” infomercials that give you the illusion that what you actually see on television would work for you.
It’s only too late to realize once you have ordered and received it that it is just really a piece of crap product. It is all because of hope and expectations that we tend to become very gullible that we believe that there is hope for our lives, but in truth, we are all just taken in for the ride of our lives, just like those thrilling amusement park thrill rides that we yearn to get on. After the up’s and down’s, the highs and lows, we are let off to walk away, as the thrill slowly fades away, making us think that it was just a ride and there is no sense of realism that it can help in improving our lives, that we find ourselves back in the mundane state that we started from, more depressed than before because we now realize that our whole life was just a sham. Really folks, life is one statistical nightmare, and everything is just sugar coated with hope to hide the real bitterness of reality.
“Grow Old and Die!”
If you are already in your 30’s and you still haven’t caught that elusive dream of becoming a self-sufficient and financially independent individual that you thought you could be, chances are that you will never see the light of day for that to happen! Not being a pessimist, but that is a statistical truth and because you wanted to become successful instead of being contented with the way your life is going right now, chances are that you are willing to gamble everything that you currently have, just to have a shot of being a successful individual that everyone would look up to. It is this willingness to put everything on the line that will drag you down and make your life a miserable hell in the end all because you wanted so much more in your life.
The truth is, most people really wanted to make a difference in their lives for the better that they fall into competition with other people who have the same ideas in their mind. There are people who dreamed of becoming self-sufficient financially and they had a slew of chances in the past to make that a reality. One think that they never realize that nothing in this world is permanent, not even the financial security that their money can provide for them. These are the people that had started to build up their lives from nothing, struggling day to day just to come close in making their dreams into a reality. They managed to grow their dreams into reality and have successfully proven that time and time again. But the truth is, they have no control over their destiny, even if they were financially secured, as it is those external influences that they have no control of that will make them fall on their knees in despair. At this point of their lives, all one that has to do is to grow old, whither and wait for Death to take them away from all of their despair in life.
"Enriching Life Experience?"
There is really no relevance in going from "Point A" to "Point B" with style and luxury because we all know where that road leads to in the end. Life is really boring, that is why tourism is the best aspect of living in this world, you get to go to places that you've never been, spend a ton of cash splurging in everything that catches your fancy. Of course you need an equal amount of money to satisfy your enriching life experience, but then again, when you finally get to come home from your dream vacation, reality steps in to knock you back to your senses. So, to put it straight out, your life's happiness is directly proportional to the amount of money that you can accumulate. You toil and submit your self to slavery, all for the sake of earning money, and if that is not enough, you have to convince yourself that you are happy with what you are doing, all for the sake of money.
