Day 93: Grey Populations and Hopes for Peace in Old Age going Dark

While I was in high school I was being warned by my teachers about the problem of aging populations. In essence, in recent decades, the amount of children being born per family in developed countries has decreased. Slowly but surely, this means that the populations grow smaller. However, for the time being - it means something else as well...

The problem pertains to the shrinking labour force, and thus the shrinking tax base - the taxes from which are used to fund the pensions from the older generations.

With shrinking populations, the composition of the population changes as well - where the balnace between older and younger people is offset as there are more older than younger people after a while. And this smaller younger population is supposed to support all the pensioners in their old age.

Obviously, the people who designed this system didn't really consider this point. Currently, the compulsory amount of years of work in order to have a right to pension keeps on being increased and the amount one would receive as a 'reward' for all your years of work, keeps on getting smaller. Older people who were promised to be able to retire at 60 become disillusioned as they see the amount of years they'll require to continue working, to keep on increasing. Already at an old age, there is no more time to save any substantial funds to assist them take care of themselves where the pension-system fails.

The whole idea of having to work for most of your life before getting a real taste of life is absolutely ridiculous in itself. I remember being absolutely shocked as a child when I learned that I would have to work for my entire life, and once I was about 60 I would be allowed to start living my life without having to go to work every day. I wonder, if children in the womb would learn about this, if they wouldn't abort themselves right there and then - because how is that a life worth living?

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to try to ignore the economic side of things as much as possible and live in some kind of ignorant and hopefull bliss-state-of-mind, thinking that I must just enjoy myself as much as I can and everything will be just fine - to not ask questions about where my food will come from once I retire, or when I'll be able to retire - because those questions are only relevant waaaay in the future.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to live in trust of the economic system, thinking and believing that some clever bunch of people have it all figured out and that I will simply be provided for and well taken care of once I retire.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think it is normal that I have to work to make a living.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think and believe that it is normal that I have to work for most of my life, and only once I'm about 60, I get to have real 'free time'.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to not realise that having to work for decades on end as soon as you're able to, in essence means that I'm born in debt and that I have to pay a debt to the system before I can start living my life.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think and believe that it is probably necessary that people work until 60 in order for all the goods and services that are needed to support everyone to be produced - when actually, with the technology available today, we can reduce working time to an absolute minimum of 4 years of labour per person, after which it becomes a person's choice whether they work or not.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to trust an economic system that is completely volatile - where major rules and regulations continuously have to change in order to 'make things work' to some extent - and thus, a system where there is no certainty or security.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that having a sense of security in having certainty of exactly when I will retire, is something every person wants and should be able to have, instead of each one just being a subject of economic happenings that stand outside of each one's individual control.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that the free market system is the only system that ensures the efficient use of resources - without asking myself how come that labour is being used so absolutely inefficiently, where people are made to work for their entire lives to provide for everyone - while so much labour is actually being wasted on absolutely useless products and services, let alone on competing firms who provide the exact same services and goods and who keep their engineering technology as secret as possible - instead of just sharing all the knowledge and gathering our strenghts to be able to bring about the most efficient work environment and production processes in all ways and in all areas.

I commit myself to educate people on how life is being disregarded as shown in the very fact that human beings are being made to work for most of their life without it being necessary.

I commit myself to educate people in realising that if each one just works for 4 years of their life while employing technology to its most full potential, sufficient labour would be available at all times to provide all necessary goods and services to the entire population.

I commit myself to manifesting an economic system of security and certainty - where one is absolutely certain of the living standard one will enjoy from birth till death.

Day 34: Occupying the Middle-Class

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the current world economic system does not work for everyone

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that it is impossible for everyone to ‘make it’ and ‘get rich’ within this world – as the current world economic system is a pyramid scheme which requires a large strong foundation to maintain the top – and thus those who ‘make it’ will always only be a few while those who ‘don’t make it’ will always be the majority

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the current economic system of profit does not work on the basis of “creativity” – where the economic system stimulates people to be ‘more creative’ to bring about ‘more effective’ goods and services, and where profit is the reward for this endeavour – but where the current economic system is based on the one being or group, exploiting another being or group – where they manipulate the game to simple take the profits they want

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the middle-class is kept passive and complacent through the hope and dream of one day being rich and successful themselves

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the belief that anyone can make it as long as you work hard enough – is simply not true – as it is simple mathematics that if you want more and take more – that this ‘more’ has to come from somewhere

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the middle-class is being contained through media manipulation – where the media will report success stories of people who had nothing and worked their way up to the top – ending up with having everything

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the stories and the people who are being reported to have made it from nothing to everything – are in fact exceptions to the rule – as the media will only report on those things which are highly unusual as they as sensational and thus ‘newsworthy’ as these stories will generate revenue for the particular media company – instead of the media reporting every day occurrences and events such as the 21  000 children dying everyday and within that I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the media is trying to portray these events/stories as if they are the norm – where people fall for the trap that they too can be come as wealthy – just keep working!

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the chance of being struck by lightning within one's lifetime is higher than the chance of living the ‘rags-to-riches’ story

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that if a person in a developed country such as the US has got 1 in 200 000 000 chances of becoming rich – then the chances for anyone lesser developed countries is even worse off – as the amount of money one already has plays a major role in increasing your “chances”

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the current world economic system is not a system which provides for all equally within the consideration of life – but is a giant casino / lottery game where one in a million might hit the jackpot – yet everyone keeps playing

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise how the middle-class and everyone else hoping to be rich will oppose higher tax rates on the wealthy as they think/believe that they too will be wealthy one day – instead of seeing and realising that it’s not going to happen and that this belief is the only thing which is keeping the outrageously rich in place

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that 69% of the people who can be qualified as rich within the world – are rich because they inherited their wealth

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that 26,8% of the people who can be qualified as rich within this world – are rich because of criminal activities and "unethical behaviour"

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that 4,2% of the people who can be qualified as rich within this world – are rich because they married into money

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the above three factors make up the foundation of over 99% of the rich people’s wealth

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that one's chances to becoming wealthy are linked to the birth lottery and poverty

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that higher education as college / university within this world works just like a gamble / casino – as you have more chance of losing money than gaining money – where the majority end up being burdened by student loan debt which influences the rest of their lives vs a few making it to the top and thus getting “something” out of their education while most likely their education had nothing to do with why they got rich as the numbers above have shown


I commit myself to change this world from a world of extreme inequality to one of Equality as what is Best for All

I commit myself to expose how the current world economic system does not in fact support all equally – where a few individuals at the top of the pyramid benefit from the vast majority at the bottom of the pyramid where the bottom’s loss is the top’s gain

I commit myself to show that the current world economic system is unsustainable and thus irresponsible and that it is possible to have a different world economic system where everyone’s better off as the Equal Money System

I commit myself to expose how the hope for riches is the rope the middle-class and poor hang by, as it leaves them in a state of compliance in the hope and dream that they too might one day be rich, without seeing and realising that within the current world system and dynamics that this is highly improbable

I commit myself to expose how the current world economic system works as a casino where the birth lottery decides your fate as it decides how much money will be available for you and your future

I commit myself to show those who are willing to hear that we do not have to accept this abusive system and that we can establish a world economic system within this world which will make Life worth Living

Day 9: Criminal Minds

“The private wealth of the Walton (Wal-Mart) family ($85 billion) is over twice the GDP Bangladesh with 127 million people and per capita income of $260.” – Michel Chossudovsky, in The Globalization of Poverty


I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created a world where six people possess more than twice the wealth of 127 million people together

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not question the extensive disproportionate distribution of wealth within the world

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see it as abnormal that a few people have access to more resources than they will ever need in a lifetime while millions starve

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created a world economic system with an equation favouring the flow of money to those who already have money

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that any form of poverty is unjustifiable when a few have more than they can ever spend

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that it is in fact criminal that a few can live in abundance while others live on the brink of death

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to say to not speak out to such an extensive manifestation of inequality because of the hope of one day being in a position of having more than I need

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not protest such out of proportion distribution of resources as I realise that the ownership of wealth at a level of being rich can only exist when others are poor

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not question the elite within the hope of one day being in the same position and within the fear of ending up like the poor

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to protect the elite through protecting the current world system and thus in fact support the existence of a majority living in despair and misery – in the hope of one day being rich

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that I would not want to be at the other end of the equation

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that any attempt at changing the world and improving the living conditions of the poor is completely useless as long as I allow for the existence of disproportionate richness

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the money system works in terms of polarity and that the rich has to be balanced out by the poor

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that if I am not willing to live the life of the person on the other end of the equation – I have no right to want what I want

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that the wealth of the few is justified on
the belief that they worked hard for it and deserve this wealth as a reward for their efforts

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that the poverty of the majority is justified on the belief that they are lazy and that they deserve the situation they’re in 

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that this belief is absolute bull shit when one out of ten children die before the age of five in poor countries – did they die because they did not work hard enough?

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that whether you are rich or poor is decided by chance as where you are born and how your environment allows you to have access to resources

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the current world system is based on making money from money and that thus currently no viable solution exists for the poor as they have nothing to make money from

I commit myself to expose the level of inequality existent in the world today which can be in no way justifiable when investigating the numbers

I commit myself to expose that those who protect the current world system are the ones with money as the same system support them

I commit myself to expose the criminal activities happening right in front of our eyes which we have normalized to the extent that we are blind to see it as what it really is

I commit myself to change the current world system to a World Economic System where ALL are taken care off instead of a few living in abundance at the expense of the majority

I commit myself to show that the current money system only works for those who already have money and that no apparent “solution” will work as long as the very system is changed in its entirety

I commit myself to show that no help, charity or aid will make a difference as long as the money flow favours the ones with money

I commit myself to expose the nonsensical beliefs around poverty so that we may see and recognize the evil that exists through our acceptance and allowances and that yes we are evil, and yes we should stop being evil and start taking care of everyone equally

I commit myself to the establishment of an Equal Money System where all are entitled to have access to resources on the premise of Life and not on the amount of money one has in their pocket

I commit myself to expose what dreams and hopes of richness in fact create in this world and that through holding on to these dreams and hopes which will only happen for  a few – we are creating hell for the majority of people
