Equality

[Kayla Bonnett]

So I am working on my Addiction paper for my AP English class and I can't help but add the fact that addiction and other mental illnesses have a direct correlation with the amount of inequality in a society. That should tel us something. The statistics on mental illness in the united states is astronomical. Our brains are telling us "something is wrong with how you are living" How much more clear can it get. It saddens and angers me to know how many people can feel that there is something wrong but not one person wants to do anything about it. Just follow along like the sheep you've become. and now, not only are we not living in accordance with the laws of nature, our basic rights are being taken away. This way of life is getting worse and worse every minute. What is it going to take for people to wake up? So many civilizations before us realized they weren't working and were just abandoned. There is evidence of that everywhere. So, why is it so hard for us to realize it is time to abandon this way of life before it is too late?

All our problems today seem to be affected by money in one way or another. So as I've said before, I'll say again, WE NEED TO ABANDON CIVILIZATION ON MASS SCALES. Create a way of life with no money,or get BEYOND CIVILIZATION, as any glace at any part of history will show, societies with money never have equal peoples. What divides them, aside from religion?, MONEY! If you look closely the only place when people were doing the best was in pre-history, or before civilization, when they lived tribally. True they were not doing much in building and accumulating stuff, but they were happy and secure. So why don't we create tribalism 2.0. This would entail the security that a tribal life brings, with the comfort and art that civilization has brought. All would be taken care of, because in the tribal way that's how it works. Even today where they still live on in places our culture, or civilization  leave them be. They get by fine with no money, no written laws, and no civilized technology. This is where the 2.0 comes in however, we wouldn't have to live in the "dirt" as they choose to. There would still be people willing to make computers, beds, cars, shelters, and so on without the sad motivation of money. Since it would be somewhat tribally the computer maker would be fed for his role of producing computers, and the food producers would receive computers for doing their part by producing the food. Same would be for all other functions necessary to fulfill our needs and wants. Things would be made on demand, not in mass production. Therefor cutting down on the use of natural resources, and the need for wage slaves that produce goods with planned obsolescence, in shifts 24/7. Also planned obsolescence would be done since that practice came from the greed money promotes. Yet another perk would be if you are say a car maker, and you finish all your work, all have their electric car, you could do another function if you wanted, or take your leisure time to simply enjoy life, or make art, whatever, while still being fed and having a right to your shelter since your duty is done for now. Until someone needs another car. The same would go for the computer maker, or solar panel maker. All would remain equal since their motivation would not be to gain money from competing with one and other, as it is now. There is always a hierarchy with money in the fold. A ruling small percent that hold most of it, and a massive amount of people who are but modern day serfs, or as they are called today, wage slaves, ya 'know jobs and careers. We should not be wasting time, effort, and intelligence trying to fix what we have now. Its the same as trying to make a ten story building from one story's worth of bricks. Taking bricks from that bottom story to try and create 10 more. Stupid, and unsustainable. This way of life can't be made fair no matter how many programes you try to make to better it, they may work for a time, but either way this way of life is like an airplane destine to crash, it maybe 10,000 feet up now, but its slowly headed towards the ground, even if it seems to be flying fine. So I say to YOU grab a parachute, in trying to make this new way a reality, before you crash with every one else trying to continue civilization. You may think that tribalism 2.0 sounds like a commune, you'd be half right, just don't think so small, it could be a GLOBAL commune. Or whatever you'd feel comfortable calling it. Think it through, as I cannot make this on my own, but it is a new vision, or story to enact, and I'd say it seems a hell of allot better than what we have now. As I said it still needs much work as it is still in its idea state. So if this makes sense to you I urge you to contact me with your ideas, or constructive criticisms. So that it may gain so momentum or be crushed if it is found to be impossible. Ya know a bit of the scientific method. Thank you for you time and good luck, we either change, or we go extinct from our stubbornness, and the stubbornness of those who most of you allow yourselves to be controlled by.
