THE PROBLEM WITH CAPITALISM

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The question isn’t: Am I good enough for you? The question is: Are you good enough for me? When we shift the dynamic of our relationship with the world, everything will change back to where it should be. This is how we’ll create a world that is fit for purpose — for our purpose: The Human Purpose.

The problem with Capitalism is that it emasculated humans to think they are beneath it.

It puts people in a defensive position and makes them think they are not good enough and don’t have enough value in and of themselves unless they meet somebody else’s requirements and fit into somebody else’s criteria.

This has effectively externalized the human value to the outside realm of our human power so that we are continually living in a state where we don’t have the agency to affect our own lives, our own fate, and destiny. Forget about fulfilling our own dreams and aspirations.

Everywhere I go, the system asks a question: “Are you good enough for us? Do we want you to be a part of our institution/organization?”
