Prosperous Poverty

“Hey I’ve got an amazing deal for you, anything you want for free!!!! All you have to do is Surrender to me your soul and everything of value you have now and forever also worship me.” Seem like a joke? Well it should be, however it’s an unfortunate reality that makes our going forward as a united people near impossible. How can people care so little about their fellow human? How can they wake up in the morning and go to work? All good questions regrettably dwarfed by the statistic that banks like Stephen Inc. make sales that total more than 250 billion a year off of people who can’t find the time to read the fine print. This entraps them into a cycle of debt that carries on for generations. It must be stopped, not just to make our family and friends quality of life better but to make hope for tomorrow brighter.

Some might say the most prudent method is finger pointing. “Why hasn’t the government regulated how much big corporations can squeeze from the individual?” The truth is closer to home than we might care to admit. We need to empower and motivate the people around us by sharing our stories of failure, not as a curse but as a badge of honor for the knowledge we have learned and must share. The resources to stop the cycle are in our hands, our minds, and our hearts. We have all been hurt on this level but we must break the silence and spread the power of knowledge.

In the end, yes, I say the responsibility lays on the individual to provide help for their fellow human being to help bring down this parasite to our very lives. While it may seem like a challenge, we must sit down and put aside our pride. To let our mistakes feed a new generation of growth to become stronger this environmental accident.
