Greed – Does It Equal Death?

 
What drives it? Where does it manifest itself? What is the attraction?
Life is the attraction, and the living of it.

Everyone wants to stand taller than everyone else.

The few people in the world who could see that manipulating the masses would enrich themselves beyond their wildest dreams, set about victimising the people around them. How does someone get more than someone else; hard work, labour, blood and sweat, or simply knowing how at attack the senses?

Where did the first banker come from? Where did banking originate? 2000 BC, 2000AD; have things ever changed? Is it not still the same people doing the same thing, decade in, decade out?
They pass their skills on; generation after generation are taught the same things, taught to achieve the same goals, taught to prey on the unwary and the vulnerable. Deals are done, people are seduced, and debts are created; a simple carrot is dangled, a way of having that carrot is offered, and there begins the enslavement.

Once the fish is on the hook, unless they let it go, it can never wriggle free. Does the hypothetical fish know of its suffering? Has anyone ever asked it of its plight?
Look at the people around you, see the seduction and the temptation, and then look at the way the same people are doing the same thing, century after century.

Today we live in modern money, people live on credit alone; and because of that, they are trapped. The euphoria of having is short-lived, the stress of that having is long-term.
They say people learn to live with pressure and stress; mental health problems are now rife, suicides and self-harm are increasing; do we really need to have everything? Do we really need it all?
According to them we do; the latest gadgets, the newest phones, the most modern of vehicles; according to them, we have to have it.

And that is how they sell it to us. The ‘must have’ thing is just out of reach; but with credit, you can have it. Is credit and debt a nightmare, or a godsend?
Ask the people who overleveraged themselves, and found themselves homeless and broke.

Greed, does it equal death?
Statistically, yes it does. But no one seems to care, everyone is just having a party; until the bill comes, and they have to pay.

The bills are beginning to arrive, economic instability is becoming visible; what was once hidden, is now in plain sight. If only people could have seen it coming.

Someone, somewhere, did; and that is why the vast majority of people are the fish on the hook. The system owns those who could not resist, and the system is now imploding.

What does that mean for the people?
