Are you Following the American Dream?
 I think it is the unspoken rule, that we all must seek this dream. What bothers me about dreams is the fact, that by their very nature, dreams require you to be in sleep, in other words, with you conscious mind is  turned off!
I think that is how most people operate in today world..... work hard..... earn alot......earn more ...... then earn some more..... and then retire  (with the family still intact) alone, which is the inevitable outcome of years of neglect and live long supported by  Pensioner Homes, pensions, drugs. You may not have the health to enjoy the benefits of your time in slavery, but at least you live  a long time. Here lies the key..... if the length A pair of shoes is adequate of life is the ultimate aspiration  than the quality of life .... what hope is there  enjoying life.

To put in it another way.... slave.... slave.....and slave some more and if you are lucky, (when you have no economic utility, you may find your family around to enjoy the fruits for the slavery you inflicted upon yourself.


I sincerely hope that before you serve the sentence of slavery upon your children, you look deep into the benefits of your own imprisonment.


Humans need... a place to live, food to  eat, and people to love them...... beyond this, everything else is superficial and not compulsory to health survival. A pair of simple shoes is adequate.... a pair of Jimmy Choos at the cost of half your salary is NOT. Designer names, brands , are the evidence that the slaves are loyal, and have this masochistic affliction to be loyal even if it means giving up his hard earned cash!!!


By any standards, this is abuse of power. The marketing agents, the designers have abused their position as  guardians of  privileged  resources .

What is contradictory is that of course it is the slave-class that makes the products but they are the esteemed consumers of it too, and who will replicate the demand simply by upholding the myth, that the products from the designers are truly to be coveted!

STOP AND THINK.........  that is my only request
