Is freedom an illusion only known by the richest people in this world?
Are we all controlled by laws,police and taxes?
We need money to live, we need money for food, we need money for a house
In short. We need money.
We are controlled by the amount of time we have. Forty to sixty hours in a working week wherever that may be; makes sure of that and the residue of our hard work is money.
Yes money, we can buy all the things we want and have all the freedom we need with money, first we have to pay tax, pay the Mortgage, electric, gas, water, phone and for the menial piece of leisure we have, Satellite television.
For sure the government know how to control 90% of the nation with just these few things, most people are too exhausted to notice or care what the supposed people in charge are up to.
Corruption holds no bounds when you have the power but of course it goes unnoticed by the population.
It's easy to sit in your armchairs and watch the news. Blame the poor for spending your hard earned taxes, blame immigrants for wanting to stay alive and have the same freedom and money that most people have not really got.
Millions of us believe in our own so called power and wealth, in truth most people's worlds can crumble overnight leaving them in extreme and catastrophic debt. they (the government )seem so smug cutting the benefits of disabled people all in the name of austerity, yet they spend billions of pounds setting the system up to save the money they are spending.
So to bring us back are we really happy?
Real happiness is being with the people we love, lovers, wives, husbands, children and grandchildren.
So we could be.
Are we free?
We are free in our minds, we are free in our thoughts, we are free to make change if we have the courage and strength to do so in our own private worlds. I have met many people in my unimportant life from all genders, races and so called classes, only the very richest (which is less than 1%) have happiness and freedom the rest of us live under an illusion built up by how wealthy they have become by how much debt they can afford.
Rich people commit suicide and destroy their lives too, why is that?
The proof that money cannot bring happiness but the illusion of it can is the justification by which the right wing gains power.
The people I've met, (I can include myself in this at one or two times in my life) that seem truly happy are those people that have nothing and have accepted it, they only have the clothes they are standing in and accept people for whoever or whatever they are. They have nothing but a loving family and no one person could take that away of course those with a nice car, nice house and designer clothes would judge those people as peasants completely forgetting that it is only by the grace of God that they have a decent job and enough debt to wear designer clothes in the first place. There are those people that are clever, they went to university, became professionals and live a very simple life's saving for whatever they would like to have, however you will find that even those people have a mortgage up to the hilt and a car loan sometimes.
We have happiness and freedom in our faith whatever that faith may be a spiritual being that forgives us for our sins, most normal sins are of course forgiven by a loving God like Jesus or whatever God that you may believe in. Although most normal sins are brought about by frustration from being in debt or trying to stay sane by not falling apart as a person or going to pieces. God forgives.
If there is anything I'm trying to say here it is- whatever goes around comes around so be good, kind and care for people if you ever want to get close to being free and happy. Only one man that ever lived knew the meaning of real happiness and freedom and his name was Jesus Christ.
He was condemned and executed for bringing the good news and outing the truth.
If there is a good politician it is one that has not let wealth corrupt him.
Has not agreed to passing laws that knowingly let others suffer.
Has not been selfish when in a position of power to pass such things as austerity.
I believe that as a nation we have to invest to boost the economy not cut, even the poorest people spend money, business turns a full cycle when there is spending, creates jobs and give wages that creates more money.
