			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Freedom is currently one of the biggest jokes. Anyone who believes in it, are faithful that&#8217;s all. But if you believe that we live free, why do you kid yourself?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m 19, and the reality of things is, I TRY not to live in a world that permits the laws made by humans. I believe in the order of Natural Laws. For example, gravity, that is a law that no human could possibly deny. But for the rules and regulations built in our everyday lives, don&#8217;t protect us to the efficiency that they say they do.</p>
<p>For example, the smallest car regulation would be speed. You get ticketed for going over maybe 60 km/h. But why? 60 km/h isn&#8217;t even fuel efficient. Of course this depends on the car that you drive, but the average efficiency for cars to be gas efficient would be between 80 -110 km/h. Yes, this speed is allowed onto the highways currently in use, but how does this solve that in the city, you&#8217;re still wasting gas, and still using more money to operate your vehicle or even go to you&#8217;re job to make money to waste it on gas?</p>
<p>Truly think about it. You&#8217;re built and raised in an economy where from the early stages of being a child, you have to find a job. No, here&#8217;s the thing, I don&#8217;t want to have to go to school for about 24 years only to go out into our current economy and find that no job is waiting for me in the end. With a debt that the government has now made for me so I could educate myself in a field that&#8217;s not even available.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the point in that? Well I can tell you that there is pretty much no, point in this. In our current state of technology and resources, we should be able to live on renewable energy, and have a sustainable environment in which food can be grown without pesticides, without contamination, and to be on the lines of infinite. This alone gives you the idea that poverty would be a simple joke in our world&#8217;s history.</p>
<p>But in any case, the fundamentals of the idea of &#8216;freedom&#8217; cannot be achieved in our world right now. Especially if all we&#8217;re doing is trying to survive. To anyone, that should not be considered freedom, it should be considered slavery with a wage.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think freedom can be purchased or given. It can only be earned. Earned through various ways to improve ourselves. Why is it that I have to buy food that could be either made at home at a successive rate? Why is it that I have to buy energy that is renewable in the current area I live in (solar &amp; wind). It&#8217;s because people live thinking that money is great. Money makes everything better. But what about the people who can&#8217;t get that money? What about the people who have to support someone else?</p>
<p>Truthfully, this is a biased blog. But it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that people are hurting in this world. It doesn&#8217;t change the idea that people; from birth to death are struggling just to live. What is there to live for? If you have a religion, and you work. Really, what could your purpose be if not to better yourself? I highly believe, that if there is a God, he/she did not put you here to struggle to survive or to support a hierarchy of political living.</p>
<p>No, the ideology that we live in a free world is nothing but an optimistic perspective. But our current status is that we are no more but pawns under someone in power. Working for something/someone that we have no obligation too. Our politics are no more than pawns of investors. Who has true power? The people? No, the banks who give out loans to the countries. The bankers who gain a profit off of anything. Why bother paying taxes if we don&#8217;t even get the full benefit of it?</p>
<p>Living in Toronto, yes I get free health care, but how come the service is so shit? Where does all this money go? We&#8217;re supporting the Americans in a war that they caused, so that they could control more of the oil or at least have dictatorship in the east. 9/11? Bullcrap.</p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s unfortunate that many lives were taken upon that day. But it&#8217;s also unfortunate that people think that &#8216;terrorists&#8217; from the East are the reason for this. The funniest thing that people believe is that, a plane, hitting the side of a building would cause such a building to fall vertically. Especially when this building was built with the idea of such an attack could happen. Meaning, it was built to with stand such a blow. However, the Americans go on to say that they&#8217;re justifying themselves to start a war. Why do people think it was unprovoked? They&#8217;re basically poking the sleeping dragon and going into a place where they&#8217;re not welcome. And here we are, in a country right beside the dumbasses who started all of this and we support them. Support them so we can maintain good standing.</p>
<p>This is the most stupid thing I never understood. We support a country full of corruption and deception. The only thing I can really say about Canada that&#8217;s good is that it&#8217;s really diverse and more or less, accepting. However, we still live in this understanding that we live to go to school, find a job, work, and start this process over with having kids. But where all of that, does it say we have to better ourselves? Where in anyones life can you really better yourself?</p>
<p>I have to many friends going into management, but why? &#8220;Because that&#8217;s where all the jobs are&#8221;. That may be so, but you dumbass, your not saving anyone, just prolonging this cycle we live in. That&#8217;s why I can support science background people. What are they doing? Finding ways to better ourselves. What&#8217;s even better about that is, when they find a good piece of research, they test it and actually put it to use. What&#8217;s even more crazy is that, despite how well someones idea may be, it can always be improved. The idea isn&#8217;t behind money, but the evolution of our technology and us as people.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a shame to be honest. I think if I had a choice to make money or to live in the woods isolated from the &#8216;modern&#8217; society, I choose the woods. Really life may be harder and by all means, I might even just die faster, but hey, I&#8217;d be free to do anything, free to explore, gain knowledge that almost everyone takes out of a textbook.</p>
<p>True knowledge is something you can listen too, understand, and then apply. Yes, you can say that about any other field. However, none can really push you to better yourself.</p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t understand, why isn&#8217;t there a bigger movement? Why isn&#8217;t there a just cause for anything anymore? Is no one motivated in this world to find real solutions? Or are we so arrogant to power that we tune ourselves out of the troubles in the world so we can live in the cycle.</p>
<p>In my opinion, human beings are naturally good. People may not believe it, but why does anyone really fight, steal, or cheat? It&#8217;s cause they think they want more. Or that their better than someone else. What happened to equality? Focusing in our strengths and weaknesses to become a better person would make more sense then focusing in others. Materialists instead of a way of living? It&#8217;s funny when people say that it&#8217;s american/canadian culture. Being a materialist/media douche doesn&#8217;t give you culture. Finding individuality amongst equals is hard, and that&#8217;s the challenge that everyone faces. But we ignore it to say that there is a hierarchy of who&#8217;s better.</p>
<p>Anyways, the conclusion of it all. There is no freedom with money.</p>
<p>There is no Profit without Problems.</p>
<p>There can&#8217;t be peace in war.</p>
