The System is Broken

The system is broken. Everything about it is broken. The very basis of our society and of our economy is broken. The trouble is that its all been broken for so long that everyone thinks its normal.

I do wonder what a visitor from another​ planet would make of us. I know what I make of us and its not polite.

Now I'm certainly not claiming to be from another planet (despite what some of you might think) but I can see a better way forward.

Perhaps you will share my vision, or maybe not, that's your choice and I respect it.

If only we all treated each-other better, were excellent to each-other, there would be no poverty or homelessness.

If we saw someone worse off than ourselves we would give them a little of what we had.  We wouldn't need to give them very much because everyone in the area would be giving them something.  They would be back on their feet in no time.

But it doesn't happen like that. Why?

I believe there are two reasons. The first is that there are selfish, greedy people in the world, sure there are, but most of us are good, decent folk.

But the good, decent people, many of them, most of the time, ignore the poverty and suffering of others too. There must be a second cause. What is it?

I believe that it is fear. We live in a world of fear, mostly fear of poverty and debt. We fear we may loose our job or our business, that we will no longer be able to service our credit card debt or our mortgage.

Some people aren't just scared of what might happen. They also harbour deep resentments about the things that have already happened, to themselves or to their ancestors. Is it any wonder that some of these people behave badly?

If we were not living in fear ourselves we would be much quicker to help others.

The irony of this paradigm, of our culture of fear, is that if we did all help one and other, we would be confident others would help us too and there would be no more fear. And being free of fear we would be free to be more generous and to help each-other more.

So the remedy to the problem lies in our own hands. Each and every one of us can start today to help others more.

The rich globalist elites thrive on our fear. They use it to sell us goods we don't need,  shipped from the other side of the planet, paid for on credit we can't afford .

They use fear to make us vote at election time for dishonest politicians who are more a part of the problem than of the solution.

They use fear to keep us as debt slaves, working for fifty years at jobs we often hate to pay for the right to live on our own planet.

There really is a sucker born every minute and those suckers are us, every one of us.

We are born into a game we did not devise where the rules are stacked against us and in favour of the globalist elites. We have no way to win this game. We can never win this game. Our only way out is to stop playing this game and devise a fairer one.

The currency of the game is money. Stop using money and the game is over. The banks will collapse and the rich globalist elites who own them will be reduced to ordinary citizens, just like you and me.  The nightmare game will be over.

We don't need money or barter. Both are born out of a meanness based in fear. Both are just ways of keeping score so we know who is winning and who is losing. But what if we no longer cared about winning?

We would be free to devise a new game based on freely giving and freely recieving, on helping each-other, on freedom and independence and on love and co-operation. A true utopia.

If you would like to explore these ideas further I invite you to download my new book - Spread The Love and Change Your World.
