what is wrong with the world

Money is itself a thing, is the measure, is God, is all that is important.  That is what is wrong with the world.

If someone has the money to do something, people say, "More power to them, it is their money."  And if someone doesn't have the money to do something, people say, "Sucks to be you.  Must have made bad decisions."

If someone has the money to do something, people say, "More power to them, it is their money," no matter how BAD an idea they have.  Move to the country, install four sodium vapor lights, for example.  No matter that their light doesn't stop at the border of their property but polutes my walk, my sky, my sight.  Tear the top of a mountain down.  For profit?  Then fine.  Attempt to buy a life.  Attempt to buy an election.  Hoard water, hoard food, hoard.  Have someone else clean the toilet.

If someone doesn't have the money to do something, people say, "Sucks to be you.  Must have made bad decisions," and it doesn't matter if they did everything "right" or not actually, you play the game, you takes your chances, sucks to have cancer, or get hit by a car, or break a leg.  Don't have enough to eat?  Well, don't dare ever have a chocolate bar, much less a beer.  Berate yourself for just not working hard enough even with the several jobs.  And your car needs brakes?  And why don't you have insurance for that?  You should have been more like me, obviously.  Work that crap job and we'll still berate you.  Now, shine my shoes and maybe I'll provide a crumb.  You'd better be shoe licking grateful.

And that is what is wrong with the world.

How to change that?  Don't envy "the rich", and for the Gods' sakes, don't try to be like them.  Live smaller. Stay home.  Help someone else.  Hang your laundry.  Spend less money.  MAKE less money. Live a life you don't need to vacate from.  Also, don't pay unjust bills.  Yes, don't give them that money.  Don't work unjust jobs -- don't give them that money either.  Cook your own food, grow your own garden, clean your own toilet.

And at some point, sooner rather than later, make their money useless to them.  Refuse to be bought.  Walk in your integrity.

And lick no shoes.
