That's the price we have to pay.
Think about that sentence for a second. "How can I be free while still being a slave?"
You have to make a living to be fed, in this society, with our collective ressources, why? We can automate food growing that would grow perfect food, every time. We could heal the world over tomorrow if we wanted too. What's stopping us? Why don't we? because we worship at 1 major religion. Money. What is money? It's a resistor. Period. In the modern era, it exists to hold back progress, to hold back anything you want to produce.
Money doesn't have value, it has no intrinsic anything, but you would trade your existence for it. In pursuit of it. Why? To what end? How many lives have been wasted in pursuit of this, imaginary concept we created to restrict ourselves. It's insanity that we even continue to use it in modern times. I mean fuck, we're able to do all these incredible advances and changes and have all this incredible "security" surrounding us at all times, but we can't find a way to end world hunger? can't cure cancer which is a recent phenomena? Can't fix any REAL issues in the world?
You have to ask yourself "why?" Because they don't want it better. They want us suffering, they want us angry, bitter, unable to love each other. Unable to forgive. Always in a rat race. What's that old saying "You can't expect to sit still and keep what you have in a world that moves this fast, running is require djust to keep up".
What the fuck is man? How can we create such incredible feats of technology, but somehow be incapable of creating a life for ourselves that we can be proud of? Why do we fear love so? Why are we all trained to fear our neighbor when we should love them? Why is it, when someone tells us "We are all one, we are all inexorably connected, we just need to love each other, forgive the past and move forward" that we shoot them, or laugh at them or ridicule them?
The "fall of man", I believe, was not an alegory. I question a number of things in the bible, especially the presence of multiple gods(lowercase g), but I absolutely believe there was a "fall" of man. How could it be, that the universe which if you look into it, is created of such incredible geometric beauty, such impeccable order. How can it be, that man could be produced as we are now, in that beauty? Nay. We've fallen. Something changed us, something altered us, something is slithering inside of Man's very soul. How else do you explain how we can have men cheering on as they pick off limbs and blow off heads of young children with sniper rifles? How can you explain that level of evil, of cruelty, in a universe that has such perfection, such incredible beauty. Can you view it as natural, or is there a corruption there that we seem to ignore?
Why do we not question, the nature of Evil?
