The land of sustenance or exploitation
We live in a world of unawareness and unconsciousness where we have to make the everyday decision of just existing or the accumulation of “nice things”
The temptation of acquiring “nice things”, where do we draw the line or are we aware that we can draw a line.
I come from a people that has been severely oppressed by social Darwinism ( manifest destiny) and we have been impoverished for many years and struggle with a series of addictions, now there is some hope of recovery on a individual and community level, but in our recovery some important issues are over looked like Capitalisms and how we as a descendant of Animist-Tribal peoples who are slowly losing our sense of who we once were and are embracing Capitalism: fast food, fast cars, shiny rocks, Fur, pop music, popular movies, cosmetics and all those elements and images that go along with it.
The last of the animist tribal peoples who still live in a semi-traditional life style and not the ones who use it as a status symbol who believe they are still connected but the ones who still hunt for their food and trade the furs of their labours for other food and necessities to sustain their life style, where do they draw the line, sell the fur to the corporation who really don’t give a dam about them and thier families, but only the fur that they exploit to accumulate wealth.
Or do they go hungry or try hunting for them self’s or get jobs but where, were do they draw the line, exploitation or self sustenance or hunger.
Capitalism is a nasty parasite and it has infected us all just take a good look at the world and its condition there is 1% of the people that own 90% of the wealth and we all have to share that remaining 10%.
As an Animist person the desire for nice things are very strong, a made-up face dyed hair bigger muscles expensive clothes to attract a lover, humvee and a diamond ring to woo him or her with or to say I support a cause so that we can masturbate are Egos and impress others and in the mean time accumulating “nice things” a personal cause, all these “nice things” have a price to be payed by who? Are hard earned money or the animals that all these “nice things” are tested on, the people that are exploited so that they can eat or the earth, when the items and there packaging’s are discarded.
Where do we draw the line? Is it all so hard to become aware of all these unconscious traits in are infected society or is it easier to go about are daily lives pretending we care or don’t care.
There is an effect for every cause, for every little thing that we do it has a repercussion for the smallest of life and now that we as a mass are just now becoming self-aware of the power we may have, and this can be utilized to change the negative process of Capitalism.
who is being exploited here the Animal the people who trade it or the people who ware it and how does Capitalism dictate your decision to make moral choice.
SO Where do you draw the line?
