Big corporations and world control.

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
-Scene from the movie: The usual suspects.

Even though it's only a film, it's a personally very good one. And having Kevin Spacey as one of the leading roles with his skill in acting was frighteningly good. Almost too good. It gives you quite the goosebumps at that particular scene.(link 2) (all links at the bottom in order).

In the movie the devil is portrayed as a character named Soze. Or is he? You see, the same thing he (Verbal Kint) said is applicable to himself, he was the main antagonist of the film and the con artist nobody imagined he was. Keyser Soze was yet another lie of his deep imagination, the devil himself created.

This is a similar way the world works today. "You need the will to do what the other guy wouldn't". They reject principles and outright lie just to further their cause. Same is in politics, religion same is in pretty much in every major position. The biggest problem is that "other guy". That other guy is the general public in this case. And Verbal Kint is/are our ignorant selfish leaders. You see the general public is, i could say decent atleast. And most people in this world are decent people aswell. But you can never beat a hungry lion having claws with words. You'll get ripped to shreads obviously. That's exactly what's happening at the moment. Just look at all the crazy shit that's going on right now. From the terrorist attacks to Trump declaring the Johnson amendment useless and the church getting even more power than it already has.

I have the feeling everyhing is slowly breaking down, just like the history teaches us. I myself love studying ancient history and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction. And this is exactly what's happening at the moment in my opinion.
The only question is how will this empire of dirt we have end? Third world war? Well we humans are known to kill for fun anyway it's in our nature they say right? Well some do yes, but i believe most of humans aren't that fond of death and destruction and we've been fooled to kill our fellow species members with propaganda of freedom on both sites of the battle, and so now they can say it's "in our blood". Sadly more and more people believe that, which is simply not true.

At the end it comes to a few people playing games with eachother, because they're too bored so they wage war in some cases. Or they're too greedy and kill for the material goods like oil, some kill animals just for their fur or husks even though they don't need it but they must have it to look pretty. And it's this material world that has driven us so far as to start hating each other. Jealousy, greed, anger, emotional insecurity, depression are just some of the destructive emotions brought on by our rotten system that continue to make it worse.

"The love of money is the root of all evil" I believe that quote to be the truest of all. And yet our society would colapse without it. And it probably will someday when people finally realize how much they're being fucked with.

Now to leave you with an alternative i've been researching. The life's work of Jacque Fresco the Venus project. The venus project's first goal is to provide everybody and i mean everybody with a quality way of life using our current technologies that only the rich can use now. It provides fundation for betterment of mankind. It would use resource based economy using all the cleanest possible power sources and constructions that minimizes the damaging impact on our world. It values people above all else.

"Evidence shows that most of our behavior is determined by the environment we live in. Changing the environment also results in change in behaviour in the long run. People remaining longer periods of time in a certain environment would absorb more from that environment and in time they will behave more in accordance with their surroundings."

Can you imagine a world in which humans can coexist with nature and eachothe withouth all the pointless killing, war, destruction, poverty, greed...
I certainly can. It's a far fetched goal for now, but with people like Elon Musk and Michio Kaku existing it yet gives some hope.

-But how do we achive that?
It's pretty simple. Well as Machiavelli have seen long ago the "good guys" are most likely always the loosers, because the "bad guys" would do whatever they need to further their rotten cause. So i say be a situational person, and don't focus too much on constant personality as that gets you nowhere. Be nice when the situation calls for it, and ruthless when the situation calls for that too. it's reality. And if people would see that world wouldn't be full of robots working like pigs each day in and out having depression and false promises that never come to fruition.

I certainly do hope you enjoyed reading this as many hours of my free time went into it.
Also my intention is to share and have as many people start thinking for themselves. And if only that happened the world would be a better place... Cheers! =)
