Some things are indeed priceless.
Sorry to disagree with you, but love, faith, trust, true loyalty certainly can and are bought. Didn't you put on a show for your girlfriend and male friends? Isn't that buying their trust and love and loyalty?
Love, hope, faith, loyalty are nice sounding platitudes, but I don't believe you really believe what you wrote. It is like at weddings, births, burials, etc. people say things that they don’t really mean, while trying to be nice. I understand that people do this because they don’t want to seem cruel, or callous. But as the bride and groom “start their blissful married life” do we really expect them to have a “blissful married life”? No, realistically we know that won’t happen. We know their chance of divorce will be 50%. That their cute little baby, which will cost an average of over $400,000 to raise and educate, will probably end up as a useless jerk, causing a lot of anxiety and problems along the way.
Same with faith, trust , true loyalty.
It is just human nature, perverted by all the rules and false expectations. We are so stupid that we teach our kids, when their minds are just starting to grasp at life, things like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Religion, and loyalty to a country that will feed on them like a vampire. Children generally know that something is wrong and can't trust their parents. They hate their parents for doing this to them, but can’t figuer out what exactly has been done to them. Thus we get the rebellious teen years. They can't face that hate, because they also love and are dependent upon those same parents. They block the reasons from their mind, making them half crazy starting in their early teens. And then the fools do it to their own kids, because they can’t face or recognize reality.
I’m writing this because I see that you have missed the purpose of the first part of the string. And was shocked to see you start with the nonsense of “change”. Babe, it ain’t gonna change.
It always starts with a small government and lots of freedom for the people.
Then you get a war, and less freedom for the people with the Govt. passing a lot of rules/laws so they can steal from the people, “so they can protect the people”.
Then you get another war, more stealing, with more rules and regulations and less freedom.
Then you get the people who can no longer live, who have nothing to lose, who start a huge internal war, kill off the political group that they see has been stealing everything it can by passing so many laws that you can not live an hour without breaking some. But the real thieves are the ultra rich who own the politicals and their army of sycophants..
To survive this, the very, very rich get out of the area for a while, and the whole thing starts over.
This cycle has happened over and over, and we are close to the internal war now.
I just wanted to clarify what was really going on in this Human World. since the majority of those writing here are so far out of it, repeating stupid stuff and arguing over it..and patting themselves on the back.
Wake Up!. It is time to change the cycle by going after the real thieves.
