Every day is the same..

Get up, get dressed, get to work. The same routines, the same scenes, over and over. Replayed until our eyes are worn and dulled into blindness. A blindness that prevents us from seeing the tedium of it all; birthing, decaying, dying. Doesn’t anyone notice? Life itself is a neverending cycle. It never stops, it never fails, and never satisfies. Why does it never satisfy? Why do we take and take and take and never feel happy with our meager possessions? Why do our religions fail us with hollow smiles and laughter, a false hope for our dirt covered “afterlife”? Is there any relief? Any chance of spiritual ‘enlightenment?’ Tell me, why does life exist, if only to act as a repetitive ruse? Is there any point of living, other than to keep up this f**king charade? Please tell me.

Please look at it this way.
Money.
You go to work and earn the money to enjoy your life with.
I was let go from my job due to this silly recession…my work had to cut half of the force there.
Finding a job has been impossible but I have tried and will continue to try.
I spend everday desperatley trying to make any money I can.
Days go by where I see nobody.
I can’t drive. I have no friends.
The only person in my life is my boyfriend.
I can’t buy anything I want to enrich my life a little because I can barely afford to feed myself.
But I wont give up hope.
Please don’t view your life negatively.
Look at what you have that others, such as myself, don’t have.

You don’t understand, your type of situation is what frustrates me! Life shouldnt be about money! Money money god damned mind f**king money! It’s what our society is based upon! Struggling to survive, scrounging up money and feeding it to corporate pigs. WHY? Thats ALL I WANT TO KNOW!! Why should we even care about a bunch of papers with numbers on them?! In the end, it’s all thin, brittle paper! Yet it has so much control over us! WHY? What purpose does this all play, in the end?! What do the things we buy with money even MATTER, if we’re only going to throw it away and let it decay in the ground?! Why is FOOD, something we need to live and breathe, not available to us for free?! I don’t want to give you the impression that I’m taking my posessions for granted, if anything, I’m hating the crap out of them!

Sadly this is the way the world works.
You have to just go with the flow of it.
Money only matters because nothing in life is for free.
Not love, Not life. Anything.
Whoever said money doesn’t bring you happiness is a liar.
It’s the differance between a life you live and a life you just exist in.
Sad but true.
Food can be free.
But there is an initial cost to begin with.
I understand that this upsets you.
It may not seem like it but it upsets me too.
I hate the fact the world is a corrupt place with leaders who always pick the worst options but that’s life Im afraid.
You either have to deal with that..or try to make a differance.

Life is what you make it. I work to earn money to enjoy my life and to be creative. If I did a job and felt the way about my life that you describe then I would be looking to change it. It does not have to be that way.

I so agree with you what is life and what are we living for? Does true happiness exist?!

I’d say true happiness is contentment.
Contentment and harmony within yourself.

I know exactly how you feel. I came here from doing a search for ‘everyday is the same’ because that is how I truly feel. The reason is not simply money, its banks. Central banks. At the moment all money in circulation is -lended- to governments by central banks. They create money out of thin air, which not enough people realise, or more importantly, question. This ‘money’ is then lent out *at interest* (ie. more money must be paid back, than is lent out) which means whole countries are instantly in debt to banks, and so the whole populace must go through the endless hamster wheel working slave cycle you’re describing in order to keep paying taxes which in turn pay back interest to central banks. This information is NOT taught, and is NOT reported on by the media.

You are absolutely correct, life SHOULD NOT be about money, its not natural. To everyone saying things like ‘this is the way the world works’ and ‘you earn money to enjoy life’. You have to stop and realise that since the day you were born you’ve been conditioned by the society around you to believe that ‘thats just the way things are’, and never really think anything else. That includes influences from people around you, newspapers and television (a major dumbing down programmer for the masses). You are literally programmed what to believe is normal, without you even realising or questioning it.

Our societies has been molded and shaped over the years by parasitic people at the top who run banks, have massive influence over what is considered ‘normal’ for people (because they have enough money to own almost everthing that can influence people) and enjoy their cushy lifestyles because of non-questioning wage slaves everywhere. Whoever controls the main money supply controls everything, even governments, through deliberately imposed debt.

There ARE movements trying to do something about it though, through education. Independant groups are trying to simplify whats been going on and present it people in an easy to understand way.

Have a look at short informational documentary called ‘Money As Debt’

Copy and paste into browser or click the link:-
http://video.google.com/videoplay?doc…

I believe Money as debt 2 has also been released which goes into further detail. These are online to watch for free, they are also on youtube as well I believe.

I wholeheartedly sympathise with how you feel, because I feel the same way. Your heart is telling you ‘this can’t be all there is’, an you’re right. Over time, nature as a whole has a way of working things out and bringing back equilibrium. People collectively understanding things over time and then ‘working out the kinks’ is all part of nature’s process. ;)

Please pass along this info, and I do hope it makes you feel a little better to know that other people feel the same way you do, and are trying to do something about it.
