Freedom from
We are peasants. I work with the fear of being fired at a moment notice. I have been lied into believing that hard work and determination will make me the next big movie star or millionaire, but we aren’t. When we wise up and realize the lies we were told aren’t true. We are sedated with sex, consumerism, and good old fashion TV.
Our problem is that we have been breed to follow the Hamster Wheel of Hedonism, the endless pursuit of pleasure and satisfaction. When life gets a little hard (like this economy) we shout and yell. We gnash our teeth and cry for those with the power to save us, and they do. They save us just for a little bit more freedom and individuality.
Eventually we will be nothing more then serfs of the power elites. Of course, they won’t be our rulers overnight. The elites will seek more power on the behalf of the people, and this cycle will just reduce us to drones to the overlords. A drone we shall be. Unless…
We must over come the crass demands of the flesh. Only take enough to keep our bodies well. We must protect the sacredness of the mind, and insure that we do not use intoxicants for euphoria. For the use of poisons allow others to control us and destroy us. Detach ourselves from the materialistic consumer mindset. Thus doing this shall lead us to freedom.
