I never finished it. I was in a dark stage of my life. I found my way out of that thank god, but enduring that stage, was able to enlighten me on reality. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the essay due to it perpetuating my downward spiral at the time.
I am on the verge of leaving this sub-reddit because I keep being brought down by it, not that the content is wrong, it's just that I feel so passionate about how wronged everyone is and I have no idea on how to begin to respond to it for my own sake let alone anyone else. I'm 33 and I still remember when I was 16 and being requested to the career counselor and asked what I want to do. I didn't tell her then because I was lead to believe that everyone needs a job at that stage, but I always knew that I didn't want to work for the rest of my life and always thought the majority of people were insane for doing so.
In 2017 I begun writing an essay. As I said it was amplifying an already bad state of mind so I stopped.
I would like to share my unfinished essay here because the other day u/South-Advertising-53 asked about why no one talks about the school system and my incomplete essay does mention it a bit.
Hope you all enjoy, and I look forward to feedback. Please remember it's incomplete.
Society is just a fancy way to pronounce 'slavery'
The definition of slavery is a little basic as it does not explore the reasoning behind why one would own slaves. For the sake of clarification though:
Slavery is in reference to a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.
Today's economy is built on the roots of classic slavery and the economy still exists due to
modern slavery'.
Classic slavery is what most think of when they hear the word 'slavery'. “Modern slavery” is a term coined by me to describe Society which at its root is no different. I will talk about this soon, but first I would like to bring up some points on classic slavery.
Classic slavery is often frowned upon and thought of as immoral. People associate it with cruelty, the abuse of Africans, Jews, and unfair treatment. I don't think too many people actually think about the procedures though; I know I didn't until recently. To expand on this, think about the daily life of a slave. What would they have done?
They wake up, they have some food, they go to work. Their master forces them to work harder, and then what? This is an important question. Then what? No master is going to just make them keep working. The slave is an investment, and working them to death is a poor investment decision as the master would have to spend money on a new one soon after. If the master allows the slave to rest, the master will have a good working slave the next morning. Their lives weren't too different to any blue collar worker, really.
What about food? People need food, but food costs money and slaves have no money. The masters provided the food for the slaves, otherwise once again the slaves will die from starvation.
To put this into basic terms, the masters give the slaves food and in exchange the slaves do some work for the masters. If the slave doesn't work, they get no food and die.
Let's look at today's current society where slavery is illegal.
To put this into basic terms, the bosses give the workers some money which can be used to buy food and in exchange the workers do some work for the bosses. If the worker doesn't work hard enough, they get fired and no longer get paid meaning they can no longer buy food unto which, they die.
In basic terms it is not too different. Society is a system put in place to keep a large quantity of the population poor so that certain individuals may live over luxurious lives. More sinister than that, the system is carefully structured to brain wash the majority of people from a young age, when their mind is the most malleable so that after they are grown up, they will perpetuate the problem and subliminally brain wash their own children under the pretence that they are doing the right thing. I'll go into detail on that in a minute.
Slavery wasn't abolished because it was immoral, it was abolished because it is an unstable system. All the slaves of an owner likely resided in the same room at night or at the least worked together. This allowed for the possibility for them to communicate amongst each other and thus the possibility to organise a riot if they desired.
Anarchy is obviously not a desired outcome for the masters. There is no way to stop the people communicating if you want work to happen, so a riot is inevitable when people work their lives away never enjoying Earth's pleasures.
The risk of anarchy and riots from the slaves could be best avoided by making them think that they aren't slaves. Thus slavery was abolished and phrased in a way to make the masters seem compassionate. Society as we know it was steadily introduced. Slaves were given money and they gratefully accepted, believing that they were finally being treated as equals, but it was very little, barely enough to survive off of. Slavery was abolished and from it's ashes it was reborn as the lower class; the delusional slaves of today's society. A group of people that live like slaves unaware that there is any alternative. Like pigs in a cage on antibiotics, the majority of people live out an ignorant life for the soul benefit of someone else. A gigantic population of domesticated human livestock.
Scientists say that humans only use 10% of their brains, and i'm not the least bit surprised. People are brainwashed to think like robots, eg to not think at all, and instead just do.
Happiness is just a few steps away and yet people are so overwhelmed with posessional thinking and artificial happiness that they fail to see what they're enduring. It's insane literally! Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So many people waste their days away going to work and doing something they hate until they're over sixty and still saving up their pennies so that they can go away on a cruise or some other stupid luxury for two weeks and finally have that happiness that they deserve to have every day.
It's not a person's fault they have such a mentality, we are programmed to think like this. Schools are a tool of modern slavery. It is a legal requirement that children are enrolled into schools at the age of at least six, or at least studying within a certain program. This is because that is when the mind is the most open to abstract ideas. This isn't a bad thing, it is a natural reaction to exploring new stimuli which a person new to the world uses to figure out exactly what life is. If said child is told their whole life that they will be able to fly when they turn fifteen, they will believe it with little evidence to back up such claim. Without reinforcement, eg seeing others that are already over fifteen years old flying, they will quickly forget though.
Schools take a child and put them into a lax emulation of modern slavery standards. If they do not follow the rules and think in the same way as everyone else, they will be punished. Don't question the elders as they are the authority and the authority knows best!
People live their lives in this emulation for about eighteen years, being taught how to be a modern day slave under the charade that people are being educated. Schools only only teach the things that are not harmful to modern day slavery, and amongst all the crap, more importantly people are told how to do it. Learn this by this date, and express this in this way, or be punished. The way that children learn is more important to the system than what they learn because people are creatures of habit. If a person goes through eighteen years of doing something the same way over and over, they will continue to do things that way even after it is no longer enforced.
Once a person has gone through school they are programmed to be the perfect slave. They don't know any better. Once they have children they think they know best and will even help enforce the same poor existence upon the poor kids.
