Has anyone told you that you were doing something wrong when you tried to lose weight, get a better grade, or make enough to pay the rent, only to learn later that the problem was in your metabolism (not you), dyslexia (not you), the economy (not you).
Everyone wants to be an expert, and everyone wants to be able to tell other people that they know the secret to success. Just follow this trick, speak this way, wear this, but not that. Although we follow the instructions religiously, most of us find that in the end none of it worked.
And so we blame ourselves; other people blame us.
When the eureka! moment comes when we realize that the instructions work for some because they have fast metabolisms, photographic memory, or wealthy parents, we feel relieved. ...until we get mad.
It wasn't us. Why did we believe it was?
Humanity is collectively waking up to the reality that not everyone is going to become rich sitting in front of a computer. It works for some because the system is rigged in their favor.
Once we realize that money is a representative of human labor, instead of humans being representatives of the value of money, we realize that to make money, we must work; but for not for someone who thinks paying a penny is equal to a dollar. We must reclaim the value of labor, in order to reclaim the value of humans.
As long as believe what we are being told about all the tricks to get rich quickly, we will continue to descend into poverty.
If we do, then it will be our fault.
