Just 62 people own as much wealth as the poorer half of the global population, a new report reveals, as the widening of the gap between the rich and poor accelerates.

A lot of people are getting dumber too. They're not eating right, are sleep deprived from working long hours, with little to show. They identify with the money they make. Stupid. All of it is stupid.

It's amazing how easily these elite fucks can out smart us and enslave us without us knowing, and then blow all of it traveling with prostitutes.

It's amazing that they have the ability implant an obsession for a paper note inside of our heads over time. They use that implated lust for money to pull us around like marionettes. They romanticize greenbacks in the media, and then make them harder and harder to get.

It's amazing how our idea of wealth has nothing to due with food and shelter, but everything to do with quantity of paper.

Now that we have been poisoned throughout our lives with conveniences, comforts, and services, we've become disconnected from our bodies and the earth. We eat animals who live lives of pain because we stupidly fail to look at the way they live, and we ourselves have that same pain inside of us. That ache of an unstoppable machine.

The notion of progress, of building, growth, is no longer realistic. We feel ourselves to be victims of circumstance, rather than active constituents in a democracy. We feel we're too stupid or too weak to attain happiness in our limited understanding of it.

We just know that we have this burning lust for more money. All of our emotional and physical needs have been psychologically equated with this paper since we can remember. This desire is a means for control. The more of it you try to get, the more you lose. The algorithms are programmed this way in computerized trading. The algorithms are coded to take more of your money away and to dis empower you.

It's because we're stupid and we don't want to discover how these things work on our own. We don't think in risky ways, we just listen to our podcasts, eat from the dollar menu, and sit at computers all day, and study what we're supposed to study to attain the next level in any given model of advancement.

We've become obsessed with symbols rather than food, water, shelter, and family. We believe it's our right to express ourselves. We think that other people care. We buy products that reinforce this notion of separation.

Like a midlife crisis, we are a nation clinging to its youth, addicted to upward momentum, when the conditions are pushing us in the opposite direction. A little botox here, a little duct tape, a little superglue, she'll keep goin, trust me.

And just like in our own lives, denial isn't something favorable. It perpetuates self destructive cycles.

The government and banks are the same way. We're letting our national ego run the show, rather than the people. We begin to make huge national plans, rather than realizing that America's only goal was to supply freedom to its people without meddling in complicated shit.

We're stupid, we're arrogant, we think we know more about other people than the people themselves.

Their view is skewed. They're afraid of their internal realms, or they're bored with their internal realms. They don't understand themselves, why they think certain ways, why they treat others certain ways. They think of corrective actions for others but not themselves.

They need something always. If it's validation, content, entertainment, material things, they always seek some form or another. Because they don't realize, that the former conditions are designed that way. You're not doing yourself a favor by not working on yourself. You are perfectly designed to consume. All the desires you have were and are designed for you.

Let the fucks have their money.

The real answer for happiness is putting your mind on your heart. Bravely being the emptiness inside that we try to fill with the bullshit we think we need.

About being healthy mentally and physically and constantly working on yourself rather than others. Don't be a shepherd, but a beacon.

Don't need the money. Don't want the money and you'll win.

Don't want anything, do nothing. Stop trying to craft an image of yourself, you manipulative bastard. There are no winners. Out smart them by not wanting what they want. Out smart them by understanding yourself and your ecology more than they do.
