😉Thoughts from Sherika Trott Bailey
I don’t write these ideas with the belief that there are many great people or that there are many people who desire greatness for themselves and their families. However, I do wish to believe that there are many people with the basic desire for a minimum standard of life that looks something like this:
- having a home to rest and call their domain,
- having time for themselves and their families,
- having an abundance of food for their sustenance.
Now why did the world switch from having Kings and Queens to having a democracy? Well, it was done because the masses were under the impression that signing over the resources to a democratic government, rather than one family would mean a more equitable and useful distribution of the country’s riches for all. The government would, people believed, give greater oversight, not indulge in excesses and make the lives of all citizens of the country better.
To an extent, this idea has worked out, but it’s starting to go downhill. Life became better due to inventions such as ships, planes, cars, electricity, kitchen appliances, TV, the internet, etc. Inventions that have made life easier and more enjoyable for us to live.
Now you almost wonder, why in God’s name are we working so hard these days? To what end? Just to be able to purchase less and less food from the supermarkets and barely pay the rent and the mortgage? How did we get here, to this point of contractual slavery in the 21st century? With no freedom except on weekends, stuck in traffic, no time for love and family, no time for sitting down with your own thoughts. There are so many people walking around with dead brain cells, just paper-copying nitwits. How did we become so dumb? Well, it all started with schools like Oxford and Cambridge University. these Schools were determined to take people off of their estates and seduce them into “learning” and being amongst the ” intellectual” class but instead ended up stamping out all original thinking in our minds. We started becoming copies of each other under one bitched together “curriculum.”
When people were free and busy on their estates/plots of land, whether big or small, things like the windmill and the water wheel were invented. Inventions come about when people are enjoying their work: when they need to tackle daily things, and when there is joy in what they are doing. Now remember, it is inventions that have helped to make our lives easier, yes, but it isn’t what makes life worth living.
We all need and I repeat: Land to grow our own food, a home to rest our heads, and time to ourselves and time for recreational activities all in a peaceful atmosphere ( no warring and no worries about outright criminal anarchy). These are the core things that the government should be providing for free to all its citizens.
The extras such as the need or want for a car, appliances or train station, etc should also be provided by the government by either conscripting the talents of the country to build trains, planes, appliances, etc as their social contribution. You take our men to send them to war and be killed, and leave the family devastated. Has the government ever tried enlisting our men for inventions for things of life? Has it ever conscripted women and engaged them to flex their talents?
No force is necessary. At the end of the day, there are 24hrs in a day to spend, why not spend it building something or inventing a new game or making fabulous clothes, or awesome landscaping, or whatever invention in whatever field each man takes a fancy to? Not being forced to do useless jobs that you are not suited for the sake of some money or just because you don’t want to be branded as lazy.
Why hasn’t the government, taken the resources of the country and backed great thinkers and their ideas, inventors, and their inventions?
Those who are capable should be supported. Instead, the government does the opposite, the incapable are treated better than those with proven capability. More and more of the country’s resources are plowed into the disabled, the mentally insane, the perverted, the lazy, etc. They shouldn’t be forgotten but they should not get the bulk of the country’s resources since they fail to multiply or create more.
It’s like plowing more and more fertilizer into rehabilitating a half-dead tree and after all that care, it barely produces a few fruits if any after several years. Shouldn’t you rather be fertilizing and propagating a healthy tree that produces abundantly? Imagine if you fertilized and treated the abundant tree well. Imagine how much more it could be produced?
Now remember where we started, the government was trusted with the resources of the country. They keep the order and we trust them to distribute the resources of the country to maintain a certain standard of living for all men. Now every human is unique, with unique talents and some have more talent than others. Am I saying we should all be rewarded equally-No, Not at all this is not Eutopia!
To be frank, there are people who don’t even desire much, this idea that everyone wants to be rich, in terms of money, is not true. You can be rich in time, experiences, learning, and a love for learning, rich in love, wisdom, noble character, unity in the family, bravery, etc. It is low-minded to reduce living and fulfillment to a bank balance, and that stupid statement “It’s better to be crying in a Ferarri than in a Toyota” is flawed and not true. One man can be crying in his Toyota but he is filled with hope for his future, his tears bring resolve in his inner man and he emerges from his car a little bit more brave and a little bit more determined and even with new ideas. Meanwhile, the one crying in the Ferrari emerges with the idea to suicide off of a bridge.
Back to Thoughts- there are no such things as controversial thoughts. There are just thoughts,- either you agree or you don’t agree with a thought or you don’t care to even dissect a thought. You can simply ignore it. It’s all your choice. Seek your Peace, my reading friend!
Here is another radical idea, how about you create your own type of fast travel? Why look over the fence at another country? Here is another thought…Do you even want to travel faster? So what if England invented a train?
Do you even want to travel faster? Why do you want to travel faster? If the answer is yes I want to travel faster…why don’t you create your own type of faster travel? Why must you copy England’s trains? Ok so what if you do copy England’s trains? Why must you charge your people money to use the trains? If you say, well my country is poor and we can’t afford to buy the coals for the train to move….well then it comes back to my point…why not invent a way to travel fast using the resources that are abundant to you? Have you no thoughts of your own?
Other Thoughts:
When did money become the be-all and end-all for everything? Why must we pay for a bottle of water? Why must I pay to walk in the park? Why must I pay to hike a mountain? why must I tip a waiter for doing his work? why must we donate to “Africa” but never solve the root of the problems? Why must I hate the wealthy and envy their money? What is wealth?
Why should I applaud putting a man on the moon when we haven’t even scratched the potential of Earth itself?
This is enough for today: Lets conclude
This article is written by someone who has broken free from the system and its thousands of years of accumulated bad thinking. It is written by Sher Trott Bailey who has had time with herself and her God to think about the world and has had time to truly enjoy life.
I have discovered that my husband and children are priceless gems, that I can be joyful in all circumstances whether I have money or I don’t, and that I have a brain and I can flex it. I have discovered for myself that the Earth is still young and that I can question it; Because I do not like it and I do not like where it is headed; and that with the help and backing of God, I can change it! I can change it without force, I only need God’s spirit which is inside of me.
From the Great Mind of Sher Trott Bailey,
Yes, I toot my own horn, I won’t wait for others to toot it for me. Another symptom of schools and the misadvised church ( never toot your own horn, only the teacher can applaud you. Don’t be confident in yourself, only other people can validate you- well fuck that shit. 😉
