RE: changing the game : why the modern man is becoming a slave to consumerism

in #life5 years ago

@metama your article is timely and very true on many accords. I’m sure you’re familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Earlier in life man had to meet his “physiological & safety needs.”

After these comes “Love & Belonging, Esteem, and then Self-Actualization.” In self-actualization one strives to become all they can be. This can begin the “awakening process.”

Modern man has been tricked into thinking success is about more stature and more money - the incessant need to acquire more.

Awakening is a multi-layered process in which people begin to see this trick we’re living. The U.S. (where I reside) has unfortunately been polluting and enslaving the minds of its own citizens for some time. Through the development of “The Fed” (Federal Reserve System) a mighty few have enslaved the majority. Whether it was intended to be what it has become or not, I believe to a high degree that this system in the U.S. will one day be revealed for what it truly is - a powerful modern day slavery mechanism that many, if not all politicians, have their fingerprints on. We the people believe we live in freedom whereas we’ve been living as slaves to the system. When we can “wake up” and remove ourselves from the dependence of the government they will no longer have control or power. The more we can help people see the truth the better...but people need to see it for themselves. Truth is through experience.

Like you, I so very much hope to bring attention to this issue and let people decide for themselves. I think what you’re doing is noble. I’ll be here along with you for the cause.

Looking forward to having more great chats with you.

@steelborne thank you for the thoughtful response. Many people are still sleeping .... We must wake ourselves up and hope that our light shines brightly enough to shake the dust off others
