The washing machine called society

The washing machine called society - wake up.

THIS IS THE REAL MAFIA - but we rather sleep.

SLAVERY STILL EXIST AND WILL CARRY ON UNTILL WE WILL TRULY MATURE AS HUMAN BEINGS.

PEOPLE LIKE US ARE BEING SLAPPED, RAPED,STOLEN PROPERTY FROM,ABUSED,PISSED ON BY OUR DEVELOPED STUPID small People’s SOCIETY – as long as our comforts do not diminish, we’re ok with that – it is time to admit the evidence next time you look at yourselves in the mirror, enough lies.

In the meantime, while we very slowly grow-up from spineless individuals to wise animals, lets buy the better car, better house, better tv and iPhone, lets talk about what to do at the week end, our  problems like what shoes to wear and suit to buy, lets materially ‘better’ our lives, diminish our internal spiritual worth further and f..k the poor people that cannot even eat once a day, have no shelter and in 2012 still see their little ones die before their eyes. Lets carry on, let’s hide behind the "what can I do? I am by myself" But be honest, truth is really who cares right? You might think, "Those are not member of my family, f..k'em"

Many human beings have a name, a haircut, speak many languages, a clever brain, good career and lives. However, last January 2012 I traveled to South India and saw a stray starved dirty dog strolling on a filthy road, the dog was eating dry shit to survive. Yet, that little dog was for one Free, and it had more dignity in his eyes than many human educated beings. What is a human being really? Is it a bank account ? Reputation or status? What really means to you to be a human being? That is a good question.

The Money dream of happyness

Money = Happiness.

So they teach us at school and everywhere in our society: 'more money is always better' that is the mantra.

That is why - mainly- we decide to study and go to University so to get a better career and more money.

IF studying at University, getting a master or Phd would guarantee a lower salary than say, a bar tender or a postman then I believe my father, and many millions others, would have not pushed us to study, say accountancy, like mine did, and people would only study what they truly would love to study and do that with their full passionate hearts - not just their minds obeying to society.

But it isn't the case for many - very few can follow and have enough trust in themselves and are strong enough to do so – I didn’t. Most succumb to our society brainwashing cycle - the same that washed your family's brains together with whole Countries - and so most are simply forced un-happy and confused 'individual' copycats.

Eventually we grow to put money as the very number one priority in our lives, with virtually no competitors.

But we forget one single yet most important variable without which the equation would inevitably turn out to give us just a wrong number – totally wrong.

Now, if by having a wrong result we would only risk to get a poor mark or even having to re-sit an exam, we would still be fine.

However, unconsciously for the first part of our lives and consciously thereafter, we make money as our master, our lighthouse in our unique, one time only, priceless lives. That is the one-time life we cannot ever buy back, not a single breath, not even with tonnes of gold, yet money rules our arses.

I believe that it is important to daily remember that when the time is up we will just die, no more air in our lungs no matter what – millionaires die too and sometimes a lot earlier and without having realised that the biggest gift or ‘thing’ of all, their very lives, was given to them – just like to you – for free.

In spite of knowing that, we are all hypnotised and ruled by that illusion of 'money= happiness' even if right now we say we are not. Our ENTIRE lives and society is ruled by m o n e y. We forget ourselves, who we are, our very own lives to make more money and to reach that goal without seeing that what we are exchanging that with is our air on our lungs, heart beats, we call that life.

I wonder why. Could it be our own choice giving money that much attention? Could we re-focus our attention elsewhere? on who we are? Could we realise if we are doing things FIRST to make money? What's really important for our happiness? Is who we are really, not what they told us, or what we think we are based on things we learned, is that an important question to unravel before we die?

A note: 

In England once a friend told me that having too often a smile on one face and showing happiness, wasn’t a wise thing to do especially in the working place. I asked why and I was told that to be happy you must have something to be happy about as being happy without a reason is interpreted as silly maybe even childlike, a sign of frivolousness, a little dim person. We are blessed by the Sun but not all understand that so the vast majority the onces that do not since they were the majority, they created the rules of the game called it society, work etc. The rest is just what you see

Whaen you open your eyes every morning. Just use those eyes to see not to judge and then think that your life has only a number of days left. Then look again and see, feel who is living life and who is surviving it. It is our own choice the way we want to see that half glass but you will not be having that choice for ever.
