We stand upon the threshold of a new era. But some would hold us back.

And those that restrain us are utter fools.

In this age of advanced technology, plentiful information, and abundant resources, you would think that it'd be easier to make a better life for yourself. You'd think there'd be less things to fear, less things to hold you down.

But no. Something or someone is making life purposefully difficult.

Perhaps you're not aware of the evolution of this species: We once lived outside without buildings, feared wild animals like tigers or bears, and food was scarce and never predictable. But that age is over now.

Yet somehow, we are still afraid. Afraid of passion, afraid of freedom, and afraid of each other.

But this was never my choice. I would never choose this situation.

Instead, it feels forced upon me. Like someone did this on purpose.

As if someone deliberately cast fear and cruelty into a world that doesn't need it. A situation where some people play predator, for the sake of profit, power, and control, while people such as myself don't even give thought to predator/prey type dynamics in society.

I simply live my own life, trying to make friends and allies. A desire to see people as enemies or prey doesn't exist to me.

But nevertheless, in this society, we still must still attempt to make a profitable living so that we can survive.

Yet, in the search for profit, perhaps we've forgotten the true nature of abundance.

It is like the search for truth.
Such a search for truth only needs to exist when you live in a society of lies.

Thus, profit only exists in a world of scarcity.

What do you think?
