Fixed It

The longer I stay on this planet the more corruption I see. I hate to write this out because as I do so it makes it feel all the more real. We are mortal beings. From the time we are born to the time we grow cognizant. We know we are to go to work for a large portune of our lives approximately two thirds of it. More often than not under somebody who has been on this damn rock longer or their kin. In this situation the ethics are flawed already...and yet they are not either? How we see the world is all in our minds and forced upon us by how the current leader wants to shape the future of the specific generations. They promise higher pay for jobs that can turn into careers through education; yet even after you have paid out thousands upon thousands of dollars they still make you start from the bottom of the corporate ladder. Sure the trade you chose can be picked up and moved anywhere but so can any other seemingly worthless job.
We are still born as blue bloods or commoners. The irony is that the only thing the media has changed is the color of their corresponding parties: those blue bloods who want to keep the wealth of their parents and the commoners who have claimed a blue donkey. The bottom line is that everybody works hard, everybody wants more time to enjoy life, and a safe place to live. These are not privileges these are basic necessities for life. It is just like needing water and needing to eat.
Long ago...though maybe not so long ago as to be forgotten, our ancestors lived off of the land without currency and used trade to negotiate an item's worth. Nobody monopolized anything and if they did, they grew tired of it because eveyone had one or the item would cease to exist if over-harvested.

The government got exactly what it wanted and now we are in disarray because they have taken more that this population can bear.
We don't need any more rulers, we don't need one giant monopoly and we certainly don't need multiple tiny businesses that make cheap products. We need our people to come together and build the best of each thing.

Treat the broken.
Hunt the rotten.
Accept the strange.
Notice the need.
Keep life bearable.
Yield responsibility.
Offer kindness.
Understand.
