Our Planet

Money is a coupon you exchange for goods that you need (or oftentimes merely "want," sadly). The ultimate goal of life and existence--past, present, and future--should not be to acquire something as meaningless and worthless as money.

The only thing that matters to a living organism is happiness, or more simply, well-being. The slavery we subject ourselves to in order to earn a worthless coupon is, by itself, unacceptable. The fact that we then redeem it for goods that we usually don't need is another travesty altogether. Society tells us to consume to be happy, but that is not how to obtain happiness. By paying into the system, we encourage greed and perpetual production of cheap, equally worthless products, mirroring the false pursuit of money.

The products we buy with our worthless dollars are cheap, unnecessary, degrade our culture, and pollute this planet we depend on simply to sustain our existence. Why are these products made? What is the ultimate goal? Money--nothing more.

And with money comes the ability to control the distribution of goods. Time passes, and more and more money is earned by corporations. Yet they still want more as they continue to produce sub-standard products. Products that break down too soon, products that don't last, and products that cannot adequately perform the tasks which they are designed to do.

They've bought you, they've bought the government, they've bought the country, and they've bought the entire planet. All with a coupon that isn't real to begin with. We keep working, earning, and spending, thus handing over more and more power. The money in a money driven economy, despite its power in reality, is the most powerful force.

But why empower something that, in a natural world where true happiness and well-being can be attained, simply doesn't exist? Because we've made a mistake, and it's time to change the way things are done on this planet.

The time is now.
