So, two friends were walking in the park, when suddenly, a robber with a gun jumped out of the bushes. Give me your money! said the robber. One of the friends, decided to take advantage of the situation, and so told his friend that he was going to pay him the $50 dollars that he owed him. Bastard, thought the friend.

The robber, furious, took $1000 dollars from his pocket and lent them to the other friend. Then he told him to lend the $1000 dollars to his smart-ass friend. Then proceded to rob them bought of all their money.

Moral of the story. Debt is a tool, used by the guys who have the power, to make you think that what you're not doing (not paying) is immoral. That is how they grab you by the balls.

Our society needs a kind of blank slate. But more than that, a figuring out of what is happening.

Debt is used as violence that coerces individuals. Individuals think that they are morally wrong for not paying their debts, and so they have to work more and more.

This is a vicious cycle, it feeds of greed and power and morally playing society into thinking that they are wrong. It's pernicious.

The solution? Know what is wrong and what is not. Problem is, people need time to think, but we're too busy working all the time.

I'd elaborate more, but I have to get back to work..... (honestly).
