Default Re: Are we slaves or free-who decides

If we all became Jack of all trades and didn’t depend on people to do specific jobs in our society there would be no recessions. If we all learned the basics of farming, building and repair…the governments wouldn’t have the power they have now. In a crisis people will loot and become selfish minded. The system we live in handicaps us, it makes us spoiled, it dumbs us down by letting us place blame on others for not doing a job we can do for self. Just imagine if we were more involved with developing the basic needs of humanity.

Indigenous people operate within a group which everyone in the group is taught all the basics to survival…While our so called civilized groups operate as individuals with limited skills and one profession. Some people don’t even know how to change a flat tire, paint, tighten up a leaky faucet, or change a light bulb…much less plant food, or protect their own land. They depend on others to do it for them by way of payment. Take away their money they will become helpless, their weaknesses will be exposed…all the more reason why some are hesitant in exposing the corruptions in the failed systems…simply because they don’t want to get their own hands dirty.

Freedom is only obtained thru knowledge and know how; empowering yourself to do more gives you more choices, more room to work with, more freedom…

Peace
