Owned

Greetings good citizen, what do you suppose is holding humanity back from achieving harmony and prosperity?

If there is one concept you could eliminate, what would it be?

For your consideration, I submit the idea of purging 'ownership' from the vocabulary!

What am I saying! Doesn't 'ownership' equal 'freedom' (to do as you please with YOUR property?) Funny but in the end nobody 'owns' nuthin. It is the 'illusion of ownership' that is being sold to the gullible dupes who literally 'buy-in' to the idea of 'owning'. [We truly are neck-deep in STUPID around here!]

Back in the beginning, when there was so much 'real estate' the idea of owning ANY of it boggled the mind, people didn't see the need to 'posess' a chunk of ground. Personal possessions were another matter entirely. If you 'made it', it was yours!

So people 'abusing' stuff you worked hard to create caused problems [it also drove branches of our species into some of the most inhospitable regions on the planet just to escape that problematic tendency we call 'opportunism'.]

So how can you have posessions and not 'own' them?

Now we arrive at a concept the dim-witted don't like but we all share this trait and it's called 'decency'. You don't abuse other people's crap and you don't take what isn't yours!

No 'bill of sale or receipt' necessary, it's a concept we call 'respect'.

We all 'respect' what may happen if we take what doesn't belong to us, so most of us don't do it. Still there are some, er, 'retards' out there that like to play fast and loose with the rules, pretending they 'didn't know' it was somebody elses' stuff.

Now, you wouldn't mind if someone came along behind you and ate your poop, wouldn't bother me (in the respect I was 'missing' something anyway) but if knothead is sleeping in your bed, another story altogether!

So, either you have 'decency & respect' or you don't...and if you don't, word is going to get around...and then you'll find yourself shunned!

In a world where 'respect & decency are in short supply [because the self-serving have seized the justice system that now kills with impunity!] Don't you think these two 'values' are worth 'nurturing'?

It really does come down to the question of 'what kind of world do YOU want to live in?'

One where you're pauperized by all the stuff you're forced to own so you can participate in society. [Some places won't let you vote if you don't own/rent property, same thing with a driver's license!]

Or one where participation is your RIGHT and your efforts help create a better world for us all!

A world where more workers means less hours of the day devoted to making ends meet! {and a better quality of life overall!}

A world where you can 'slow down' and do it right the first time!

There are many benefits to be reaped from eliminating 'ownership' from our species, but we have to accept it means we have to 'SHARE' what there is.

Our reckless 'for profit' operating system is destroying the planet and likely the galaxy. If we fail to replace it with a sustainable model like 'A Simple Plan' we will destroy this planet, our only home.

Um, tell a 'rabid capitalist' or worse, a Libertarian that you don't think ownership is a wise idea and suddenly they're threatening to eat your food and shit in your bed. [A word of caution to those of you considering voting 'Libertarian' as your 'protest vote'.]

Is that why we let these self-serving scumbags get away with it?

That's what I put forth to you good citizen. It's all about the kind of world YOU want to live in...

Thanks for letting me inside your head...hey, it's purple in here! Calm down a minute and take deep breaths!

Did you take your meds this morning?

Ah well...tomorrow then!
