Day 226: Deserving Life or Death - Social Justice and Human Rights - Part 5

This blog-post is a continuation to:
Day 118: Justice and Human Rights
Day 220: Justice and Human Rights - Part 2
Day 222: Justice and Human Rights - Part 3
Day 224: Justice and Human Rights - Part 4 - Social Justice: Merits and Deserts

In the Previous blog-post we discussed the Principle of Merits and Deserts as a basis for just distribution of resources. It became clear that to distribute goods and services based on 'who deserves them' is a more complicated matter than it may initially seem to be. There are different definitions to the word 'merit' or different conditions under which it could be applicable and it is not clear which is preferrable. As such, there is also no way of measuring merit in an objective way.

Furthermore, the implications of distributing goods and services based on merit must be understood. Distributing goods and services is not a matter of distributing 'prizes' after a match. Everything a person requires to live in this world is either a good or a service. Therefore, can we really make such things as whether or not a person has a lifeline, dependent on a game of 'see who's better than who'? Do we need to deserve to stay alive? Currently this is implied in our economic system. I know we've all been taken in by the 'Survival of the Fittest' Theory and regardless of the debate on its validity - do we really want this to be who we are? That we let people die because apparently in some way it has been 'assessed' that they weren't worthy of life, that they didn't deserve to live?

We were all born onto this planet, we are all alive - where does it state that we now also have to deserve to be alive? Because - that is what we literally do by participating in this economic system and going to work: trying to 'earn our living'. Isn't that an absurd idea?

We grow up as a child, some of us in the illusion of being able to play all day and have fun, still ignorant about the 'complicated stuff' of the 'grown-up world' - where we still believe in magic, because we don't see how it's a problem that something just pops up out of nothing and that there must be a trick behind it - where we trust what others tell us because we don't see a reason why we wouldn't - to then some day wake up in a world of competition and struggle, where you're now told: This world is a scary place! You better prepare yourself because otherwise you won't make it! You can't pay the rent, get out! You can't afford that, put it back! Didn't anyone ever teach you that in this world it's every man for himself! Toughen up!

Obviously - if you hear these words by the time you're a teenager, you're lucky, you still had a pretty good life - there are children out there who are exposed to the cruelties of the world from as early as they can remember.  What do we say to them? Sorry, you just don't deserve any better? What apparent superpower decided that the world has to be this way that we now apparently all have to continue living our life in service of it?

In the next part of this series we discuss the Principle of Need as a basis for distribution.

Day 92: I Have to take care of MY People

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an economic system of competition between various nations -- where instead of looking at what resources are where and distributing/moving them in a way where all can have access to them -- we've divided the Earth and its resources into sections as all the various different countries -- where some countries have lots of resources and some don't -- and where this availability if resources is completely dependent on chance and so the fate of a country and their economic wellbeing will be dependent on chance as the available resources, where if you do not have resources that other countries want -- you will not be able to trade and not get what it is that you want/need


I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to present economics as the 'science of scarcity' -- without actually providing an actual solution/answer to scarcity and in fact act in a way which creates more scarcity unnecessarily -- where we have all these various different countries competing with one another in order to get the 'best deal' for themselves where a country will only care about 'their people' -- where each country will protect 'their economy' for 'their people' and within that creating additional firms / companies / industrial complexes to 'support their people' while a neighbouring country may already have these facilities which could easily cater for both countries -- but since our economy is designed as 'each one's on his own' -- this other country will have to go and spend our 'scarce resources' to built the exact same points of production just so it can provide for 'it's own people'



I forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that nobody can own the Earth's resources but Earth itself, and so it is in fact dishonest to assign the resources within the boundaries of one's country as 'one's own' -- and then use these resources as leverage against other countries to get what they want


I forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that our current economic system is completely unfair and does not give a damn about the well being of Life as humans, animals, plants on/and Earth -- as it only cares about competition and being able to get the 'best advantage' -- where just as one's individual economic/financial wellbeing is dependent on where you are born as in being born in a country/familly with money or not -- a country's fate and economic/financial status is dependent on whether or not there are resources within the country which can be used to trade and provide basic facillities, goods and services for everyone



I commit myself to show that there is no difference between the situation of countries and that of individuals -- where both's wellbeing is dependent on chance as resources/money which is completely random -- where some will have and some won't and where the economy fails to re-distribute resources/money equally -- and within that clearly revealing it's values as not caring about everyone -- where those who have will not care about those who don't and only care about accumulating 'more' regardless of consequence/impact on the lives of others



I commit myself to show that resources do not belong to anyone specifically as they are being unconditionally provided by the Earth and where we've accepted and allowed ourselves to abuse this within using the resources which lie within the boundaries of our countries as 'leverage' against other countries and even go as far as wage wars to get access to other people's/other countries' resources -- and within that I commit myself to show that the only reason one would have to wage war over resources is because we failed to distribute them equally and make sure that everyone is taken care off


I commit myself to show another way as the Equal Money System as a Global Solution to all of our economic problems both on a macro and micro scale -- where we no longer hog resources for the sake of leverage/power/greed within only caring about ourselves / 'our people' and exclude everyone else -- but where in an Equal Money System we work all-inclusive where everyone is considered, valued and taken care of equally on the premise of Life


I commit myself to the management and distribution of resources within responsibility and sustainability to cater for All Life within the principle of what is Best for All Life and Respect for the Earth and its unconditionality within providing Life Sustaining Resources -- giving this same Unconditionality back in respect and dignity

Day 91: International Trade Policy

To protect domestic industries from foreign competition, governments have an arsenal of tools they can apply.

1. Import tariffs

Import tariffs are taxes that have to be paid on imported products. Import tariffs are used to raise government revenue (in that case we speak of revenue tariffs) or to protect domestic firms against competition from foreign firms (in that case we speak of preotective tariffs).

Import tariffs are actually a way of making the price of foreign goods more expensive than they actually are. If the price becomes more expensive, the demand for the foreign products will go down.

2. Import quotas

A more direct approach towards managing imports is the use of import quotas. Import quotas are stipulations of how many of a good can be imported. One of the differences is that governments create an additional revenue through import tariffs, but not through import quotas.

3. Subsidies

Instead of placing import tariffs on foreign goods, governments can also subsidise local firms. The logic here is that, due to the additional funds from the subsidies, the costs of production are not as heavy and thus, firms can afford to lower their price to be able to compete with foreign firms.

4. Exchange controls

If the US government wishes to limit the amount of imports from Europe, it can limit the amount of euros its citizens can acquire to purchase European goods.

Day 89: There ain't no Such thing as a Free Lunch

I commit myself to show that competition is not the key to a well-functioning economy, as the unwell-being of the majority of beings demonstrate within this world – where the economy based on competition has failed to provide goods and services for all to be able to at least live a life of sustenance – where instead a few live a life of extreme abundance at the expense of the many

I commit myself to show that no economy can be successful where there are winners and losers – unless all are provided for equally within the consideration of what is Best for All Life – the economy has failed

I commit myself to show that competition is a scam as there is in no way a form of ‘equal opportunity’ existent within our current world scenario – and so every competition is rigged and pre-determined from the start – where those who have will keep on having and where those who don’t will keep on lacking

I commit myself to show that competition as a drive for the economy in order to produce “good” services and goods is completely inefficient and wastes a lot of energy – as there are now several corporations/companies who will make the same thing in different ways, with different looks, with a different ‘character’ yet providing in essence the same product/service – where instead of having one product that works best, that works for all -- we have x amount of different companies producing the same thing and within their own firm creating another x amount of different variations of the same thing – and if one firms product even closely resembles the product of another firm – even more resources get wasted into court trials and whatnot because “they created something which looks like what I made, and I am the only one allowed to make profit/benefit from this ‘invention’ “ – all in all resulting in an economic system of waste where we are creating so many different variations of the same thing in the hope that we’ll be the one dominating the market – all for the sake of profit and catering for a lifestyle of consumerism as the illusion of Free Choice – but as all economists should know: "There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Lunch" – and so our Free Choices come at a Price as Consequence – Are you ready to face the price tag?

I commit myself to show that an economic system driven by principle as ‘Do unto another as you would like to be done unto yourself’ can work more efficient than an economic system driven by competition as ‘I’ll stab you in the back before you can stab me’

I commit myself to show that if our Human Body which works as a ‘world on its own’ can provide for 50 trillion citizens as all the various cells which together make up the body – we can create an equally efficient system as our World Economy within creating a System that caters to All and where All take care of one another

I commit myself to show that our current political system is as rigged as the economic system – where we have the illusion that apparently ‘politics is for everyone’ – but where in the end politics is only for those with money – where for a moment during elections and campaigns the politicians will pretend to care about what you have to say – while at the same time controlling and brainwashing your say through advertisement and other PR stunts – resulting in an orchestrated game where the winner is already pre-determined – just as in the economic competition game – as it has been proven over and over again that whoever spends the most on their campaigns and imprint themselves into the minds of the people will win the elections

I commit myself to show that we cannot expect government officials – whether politicians or bureaucrats – to act within a way that serves the people, if we ourselves are not willing and finding ourselves able to change our nature and act in a way that is Best for All – and within that I commit myself to show that there is no point in blaming the politicians for all the ‘bad things’ they are doing if one is not willing to step up and do what it takes within the economic and political processes to bring about World Change to what is Best for All

I commit myself to show that we cannot blame the government officials for being corrupt and abusing money as each one of us abused money every day within hogging our money and spending it on consumerism where we have accepted and allowed ourselves to have been corrupted by advertisement and media – where we accepted and allowed ourselves to be lured in by all the pretty pictures and promises of happiness – and within that failed to check our priorities where within having been so pre-occupied with buying happiness we have completely ignored our fellow human beings who do not have the luxury of playing the consumerism game, where every moment we spend our energy and attention towards consumerism, those who have not are sinking deeper and deeper into shit

I commit myself to show that it is not a matter of the private or public sector handling the economy – but a matter of principle – where currently economy and politics have taken on as their task the distribution of resources and values respectively – and where both have accepted and allowed themselves to distribute these using the principle of Money and never the principle of Equality – where as long as we allow Money to decide where we place our resources/values – we will have an unsatisfactory system, unless of course, we have Equal Money as the principle of Equal Life Value

I commit myself to show that a world where Crime will be as good as non-existent, since crime is merely another way of Cry-Me – where the criminal is crying out to a corrupt world forcing his hand into corrupt actions – and so as long as we do not take responsibility of our Corrupt System which in its very essence is a ‘Money Magnet’ within only catering for those with money – we are all responsible for every single crime that happens

I commit myself to show that trying to fix the system by ‘tweaking’ at it here and there is not going to change a thing, as the very core of the system will still run through the same equation as inequality – and so no matter how much we tweak at the details, the system will simply re-align itself right back to where it was before – or worse

I commit myself to show that there are barely any economists out there in world who have a solution for the economic crisis in our world – because they are not even aware of the problem because they have yet to question their own value system of inequality – and because they are unable to see the problem with our rotten system, they will be unable to come up with any viable solution unless they themselves face their rotten core of Valuing Self over All Other Life

I commit myself to show that the Equal Money System is the answer to our all of our Economic Problems

Day 87: Competition and Efficiency

This is a continuation to Day 81: The Role of Government in the Economy

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that ‘competition’ is the key to a well-functioning economy

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that ‘competition’ is the key innovation and creativity

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that within the design of competition there are always losers and winners – where from a group, only ‘one’ can make it and be successful where the remaining others of the group perish and lose everything within the competition race

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that competition is ‘efficient’ – where competition will allow only ‘the best’ to make it, and those are ‘not good enough’ to lose – and so ‘naturally’ allow ‘the best’ to prevail – without seeing and realising that currently within this world competition is an unfair game, as ‘who is the best’ is defined and dependent on how many resources one has available – where those with the most funds will win the game as they will be more able to support themselves in developing well-functioning goods/services – and so it is not a matter of ‘weeding out the competition’ as ‘those who aren’t good enough’ – but merely a selective process of ‘survival of the fittest’ as ‘survival of those with the most money’ – and so, the whole race/game wasn’t really a competition from the beginning, as the outcome was already pre-determined where he who has the most resource will be the Winner – and as such I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that competition within the economy and business environment is actually inefficient – as there can only be one winner (or at least very few), and where the rest spend their time and money investing in the *hope* that they might also win, while it is already pre-determined who will win and lose – and as such, there is not point to get everyone involved in a ‘race for the best’ – as we already know who’s going to win and dominate the market, as the one with the most money – and so there’s no point for all those other people to waste their time and money as they are not going to make it anyway, and as such competition is really just a waste of time and money for many – where we try to create the illusion that ‘everyone has an equal opportunity’ but where ‘only the best will make it’ – while there is no such thing currently as ‘equal opportunity’ as opportunity is linked to money and money is currently not equal

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that since the one with the most money will be most effective at creating / producing / innovating – we might as well assign the task of production to a singular firm and provide this firm with the resources/funds to make the best out of it – where people within a firm produce and create goods/services for the sake of perfection, creating the best product possible – and not for the sake of competition of ‘wanting to be the best’ from the starting point of ‘dominating the market’ and reaping massive profits – while others lose everything within the competition game where ‘Winner takes All’

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that efficiency and productivity can only take place within a ‘competitive environment’ – and within that I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that an environment of cooperation can be way more efficient – where our own human physical bodies are proof of this, as our human physical bodies are the most energy efficient machines in existence and are incomparable to any manmade machine – where our human physical body does not depend on competition, but one close cooperation where each part, each organ, each cell does its part and does this to the best of their ability – and where all cells receive equal amount of resources, if competition and the unequal distribution of resources would take place – our whole body will soon collapse as each part is dependent on each other’s cooperation – which is exactly what is happening to Earth as a Body – where we are not supplying equal amount of resources to all the parts of the body causing poverty, starvation, pollution – where even though the rich may momentarily be “well-off” – once the balance has gone out too far – they too will perish with the rest of us, as there will be no-one left to slave away their lives and supply them with the resources they want/need

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that government and economy should be separated – without seeing and realising that in a world where the government is supposed to represent and serve the people – and where money is the main point controlling people’s lives – that you cannot do one without the other – and so the economy and government within serving to the people from the starting point of What is Best for All should not be separated but be One and cooperate / act as a single entity within ensuring that everyone’s needs are taken care of and where nobody has to be a loser for the illusion of competition as apparent “efficiency"

Day 83: Nationalisation and Privatisation

Nationalisation

Nationalisation refers to the transfer of ownership of an industry/sector/company to the government. It then becomes publicly owned. Most 'conservative' economists have a consus that nationalisation most of the time works as a synonym for 'economic failure'. The reasons why will become clearer as we look at the point of Privatisation.

Privatisation

Privatisation refers to the opposite of nationalisation, where the transfer of ownership moves from the publict sector to the private sector.

There are several points economists usually refer to in support of privatisation:

1. Selling off public enterprises to the private sector will give the government an influx of money which they can use towards financing their expenditure or any debts/deficits they may have. This way for instance, instead of using tax money, they could use this 'new money' to finance their expenditure and lower tax rates.

2. The second point refers to the well known 'government is inefficient' opinion, whereby economists always see the private sector as more efficient than the government. Accordingly, it is thought that the government should only involve in those industries where there's little to no profit involved and let the private sector handle the rest.

3. The third point refers to the idea that since government owned enterprises are inefficient, that they run losses and that these losses are an important source of budget deficits and other fiscal related issues.

4. As part of 'government inefficiency' state-owned enterprises are seen as bureaucratic, ineffective, not meeting consumer wishes and a burden to the taxpayer. Due to lack of competition they are also seen as lacking creativity, bad investment decisions, poor financial management, low levels of productivity and a lack of accountability to the public.

5. Since private enterprises are more profit motivated, they will attract foreign direct investment and consequently increase the country's foreign exchange reserves. Additionally, due to increased investment, privately owned enterpises will be more easily able to adapt to the ever rapid changing economic/business environment.

6. Since public enterprises are state-owned, they do not pay any tax. So another reason which gets put forward is that the government can increase its income throught selling off its enterprises as they than become part of the tax base.

7. The money the government receives can be used towards increased spending on hoising, education, health, transport and so on.

There are also some cons which are considered:

1. Enterprises which have been privatised are not necessarily going to find themselves in a more 'competitive' environment, and thus not become more 'efficient'

2. Publicly owned firms usually have to take into account possible external costs or benefits (since they are working with a bigger sphere than just 'the one company' that they own). Privately owned firms won't do this since their 'sphere' is quite limited.

3. Publicly owned firms will usually be more 'public' driven than 'profit' driven -- so they will for instance make sure that there are particular infrastructures in place in poor areas, even though these areas aren't "productive" in the sense that the people who live there have little money to offer. Privately owned firms would not make such 'bad business decisions' and will go where the money is. Since they are 'profit' driven instead of 'people' driven, they will work within those areas where there is money and where people can pay for their services. So either privately owned companies will 'move away' from those areas or 'up the prices' -- both which will affect those with little money in a negative way.

4. Trade unionists are generally against privatization. This is because within the whole 'government is inefficient', how the government employs people is also seen as inefficient. Privately owned enterprises want to 'squeeze the most' out of everyting and so they will try to have the least amount of people employed to do the same amount of work (as this results in higher profits since less wages need to be paid out). As such, when enterprises get privatised, one of the first things that happens is massive job cuts.

Privatization often forms part of one of the basic components of Structural Adjustment Programs. This will be further expanded on in blogs to come.

Day 74: The Money Supply - Part 4

I commit myself to design an Economic System that allows and assures a stable life for each one, as the value of money stands equal to life - and thus, a system that one can actually trust, a system that is an actual platform of support for life to flourish.

I commit myself to reverse my trust - from placing my trust in an economic system of instability, chaos and inequality - to an economic system of stability, transparancy and equality, a system that is founded within and operates according to the principle of what is best for all.

I commit myself to give all power back to the people - away from elite individuals such as bankers who throughout history acquired the power to influence the course of the world without requiring to consider what is in the best interest of all, but only what is in their own best interest.

I commit myself to expose the nature of international relations where each one competes with every one else to obtain the best result for themselves without caring about the consequences in other places and I commit myself to expose how the major powers in the world have taken advantage of those with less resources/money through forcing them into positions of continued dependence.

I commit myself to establish an economic system that is not split or separated into two sides - where all live on the same plain - the plain of equality - where, in order for some to live a decent life, there is no need to sacrifice the many and doom them to hell on Earth - but instead, we bring Heaven to Earth for all equally.

Day 18: Who's Got the Most to Lose - The Rich or The Poor?

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that it is righteous that the owner of a company gets to make profit from running a business because he deserves it.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that the owner of a company deserves to make profit from this business because in starting this company, he invested his money and herein took an apparently very courageous risk and should therefore be rewarded with profits.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to not realise that the person investing to start a mining company, though he bets with a lot or all of his money, still has less to lose than the miner who might lose his life working in the mine - and therefore, that there is no rationale that justifies profit.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to actually believe that the person who puts all his money on the line possibly loses more than a person putting his life on the line - and I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to herein justify a company making their employees work in crappy conditions in order to lower costs and increase profits, while the employees' lives are increasingly at stake.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to actually believe that the boss sitting at his desk making phonecalls deserves to get a higher income than the workers at the lowest level who do the actual hard, physical labour.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that if I want to pursue the line of thought as justification of 'those who earn more money do so because they deserve it', then all the workers doing the actual hard physical labour should be the ones who get the highest incomes, because they do the jobs those with higher incomes don't want to do - indicating that they are giving more of themselves in their job.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to accept that so many laws and regulations exist to protect the rich and their wealth from the poor, while mostly the rich are born rich and have therefore barely deserved any of their wealth.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to deliberately exclude the poor from becoming wealthier by making capital a prerequisite for making money and accumulating wealth - and on top of that making sure that poor people can't get loans to get capital with to be able to participate and become wealthier in the economy.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to claim that the poor are in their position because of laziness, while actually deliberately creating the barriers that keeps them from any significant participation in the economy as a strategy to rule out competition.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that as long as we as humans compete with each other in any aspect of our lives and as long as we are afraid of coming out the short end in losing everything we have, we will never live in a world where poverty is eradicated, because poverty is merely a consequential outflow of the designs of competition and fear of loss.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that each one requires to investigate their life and see where it is that they are participating in competition and fear of loss, and where they try to take out competition and remain 'on top of them' in the nastiest of ways, if we ever want to see a change in this world.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that competition and fear of loss are part of 'what makes us human' and that we cannot live without such experiences, or that we would no longer be ourselves.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that competition and fear of loss cause consequences in our and others' lives of suffering, pain and misery.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that I can never lose myself and therefore, it is absolutely possible to stop the habit, need and desire to compete with others and to give up fear of loss and still be here.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that self-improvement should be about self, for self and not about trying to be better than and outshine others - self-improvement is about correcting the relationship one has with oneself in a way that there is no conflict with self, in self, towards self and self can live fully in every moment.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to define self-improvement in relation to how well I perform in comparison to others and use others and what others think of me as a benchmark for where I need to go or what I need to change, instead of realising and understanding that self-improvement is about looking at where I am not satisified with me, equal and one with me and to correct those points accordingly and where then, others who have already walked the particular point I'm busy correcting can assist and support in being an example where I then equalises myself to others, but not from the starting point of trying to outrace them or trying to outshine them.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that we cannot walk this process of change on our own and need to be able to stand as a group of equals, as one, to see the change we need in the world - and herein competition is unacceptable.

I commit myself to stop all desires, needs, wants, tendencies to compete with others in and as myself.

I commit myself to stop all forms of fear of loss within and as myself.

I commit myself to learn to work together as a group of equals as one, instead of against each other.

I commit myself to show how the current economic system works like a casino where each one places their bets, in terms of their capital, their life, their time, their efforts, their health - and where some can continue playing and others just lose it all.

I commit myself to the implementation of an Equal Money System where each everyone is always a winner and no-one loses out.

Day 5: Freedom of Choice?

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created and allowed a system where Freedom of Choice is treated as if it's the Holy Spirit that must be preserved and respected no matter what

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have made Freedom of Choice one of the Commandments of the religion of Economics

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not promote and provide policies which are Best for all Life as this would impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice to Abuse

 I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not create and promote policies which clearly describe what is acceptable and what is not within the consideration of what is Best for allLife as this would impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice which I have placed above the value of Life

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to stay away from educating people and clearly writing out policies which define what is acceptable and what is not as I believe that the education process will take too long and not be direct within policies as to not impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to instead of clearly stipulating what would be the best course of action to take within the Best interest of All – to write out policies and implement rules and regulations which provide “incentive” for people to act the way I want them to act – steering them into the direction and choice that I want them to make without actually taking their choice away

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to set out policies, rules and regulations in such a way that if people do not choose what I want them to choose – then they will suffer

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that within creating this scenario/condition – there is no Freedom of Choice at all

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to for instance promote policies and regulation to address population growth in developing countries in a way that increases the hardship of mother by making things more expensive for them and removing benefits such as days of leave and overall making their life harder if they have (more) children

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that hardship as poverty is the very reason why people have more children in the hope that they will live to see another day and provide for the parents when they no longer can – as there is no system in place which ensures life-long support from Birth till Death

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that this hardship can be put to an end by Giving to all Equally

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to play a game of pulling strings where I try to get the right combination of what strings to pull, how hard and in what direction in order to get the result I want

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an intricate and complex system like a tapestry – where I want a particular string to move on the one side of the tapestry and then try to achieve this through pulling lots of strings on the opposite siding—hoping that all the various ripple effects will lead to the desired effect

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not want to give up our current Economic System of Grandeur as we’ve worked so hard and so long to create it and “get it right” that I will do whatever it takes, manipulate the current system and create additional systems on top of the already existent one for the sake of keeping it alive and still getting what I want

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to consider any other perspective other than what my system dictates as I’ve already devoted my life to this one and I do not want to go through the trouble of admitting that I as the system was wrong and starting from scratch

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have made it so difficult for myself within the current system that all I can do is pull strings and hope I hit the right one in order to get the desired result

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider the consequences and implications for other beings when pulling my strings

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see the increasing of hardship on people as acceptable but not allowing Free Choice as unacceptable

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fight for the freedom to abuse

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fight for the freedom to have more and be better than others

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that I am at the same time also fighting for people to be less and having less than others

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to only view Freedom of Choice from the side of being a ‘winner’  -- where I will defend freedom of choice because I want to be a winner and not care at all about whoever is the loser – as long as I can win and have more

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to place myself in the shoes of the losers of the Freedom of Choice Game

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that it is always the winners who make the rulers for the losers

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that this is not Freedom AT ALL

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have been brainwashed into believing that Freedom of Choice is something worth fighting for and that this is what life is all about

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have been brainwashed into adopting and believing a definition of “freedom” which is so limited in that it only takes into consideration the freedom of making money – which I have translated as being equal to the freedom of living

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that we were never equal from the start – and that we are thus in fact playing a game where some started to play already being a few steps away from the finish line, where some are already midway, where some are just starting – and where some have already been kicked out of the game before it even started – and within that I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that Freedom of Choice was and has never been real as none have ever been given equal opportunity

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to apparently fight for Freedom of Choice for everyone – while only a few are actually able to access “choice” through Money

I commit myself to the re-evaluation of our current economic system to identify all its flaws and provide alternative solutions so that we may break the chains of misery for over half the population of the world – so that they may actually live

I commit myself to exposing the Lie of Freedom of Choice – as freedom can only be real when all are free which has thus far never been the case

I commit myself to show to those who stand by Freedom of Choice that their very definition of Free Choice implies limitation as the concept of Freedom of Choice is only used to gain advantage over other people – and thus placing them in a disadvantaged position and limiting their freedom for the sake of expanding one’s own

I commit myself to promote rules, policies and regulations according to the principle of what is Best for All and not some policies which indirectly through a system of “ripple effects” and “incentives” ‘hopefully’ give me what I want

I commit myself to expose the lies and deceit behind the concept of Freedom of Choice in terms of how people’s Freedom of Choice gets manipulated to appear as if one has a choice while they don’t

I commit myself to put an end to the game of winners and losers and establish a world where all are Equals

I commit myself to expose the atrocities being committed where points such as “increasing people’s hardship” are deemed as valid economic policy approaches

I commit myself to the designing and creating of policies within the principle of Do to Another as You would Like to be Done unto – as for sure hardship will then not be considered

I commit myself to reject the definition of Freedom in terms of being able to be more and better than others as this implies allowing people to be less and have less

I commit myself to the redefining Freedom within the principle of what is Best for all

 I commit myself to the establishment of an Equal Money System where all are supported from Birth till Death as this is the only way real Freedom can exist
