And time is running out before we’re next. If you live in America there’s a 41% chance you’ll get cancer. Heart disease will kill one out of three Americans. We are destroyingĪll life on it. Every year thousands of species go extinct. We see everything as something to be sold, as an object to be owned. But what happens when we have polluted the last river? Poisoned the last breath of air? Have no oil for the trucks that bring us our food? When will we realize money can’t be eaten, that it has no value? We are like a plague sweeping the earth, tearing apart the very environment that allows us to live. Why help the starving? You can’t profit off them. They gave us money and in return we gave them the world. Where there were trees that cleaned our air are now factories that poison it. Where there was water to drink, is toxic waste that stinks. Where animals ran free, are factory farms where they are born and slaughtered endlessly, for our satisfaction. Over a billion people are starving, despite us having enough food for everybody. Where does it all go? 70% of the grain we grow is fed to fatten the animals you eat for dinner. It’s power. Money is simply the tool they use to control us.

For years we sit and regurgitate what we’re told. Tested and graded like subjects in a lab. Raised not to make a difference in this world, raised to be no different. If you try and take what the Earth provides you’ll be locked away. So we obey their rules. The very elements we need to survive are owned by corporations. There’s no food for us on trees, no freshwater in streams, no land to build a home. Is this what it means to be grown up? To be free? But are we really free? ![]() Along the way something changed. Before our days were timeless, now our days are scheduled. Worth reading it slowly…Īt this moment you could be anywhere, doing anything. Instead you sit alone before a screen. So what’s stopping us from doing what we want? Being where we want to be?Įach day we wake up in the same room and follow the same path, to live the same day as yesterday. Yet at one time each day was a new adventure. Check it out.īelow is the transcript of the video. A beautiful, thought-provoking, short video called " The Lie We Live".
