    Does anyone ever dislike being human? Because I do, I can't understand why mankind accepts that they are the only species who actually have to pay to live on earth. I also can't understand how it got to this point, where if you can't afford a roof over your head then you simply don't get one unless someone is kind enough to give you one. Same goes for food and water, the two things we rely on to keep us alive actually have to be bought! I'm surprised we don't pay for the air we breath..we pay for the ground we walk on..
    I also dislike the term 'human rights', surely we should all be born with equal rights? Rather than having someone tell us we can or can't have them.. I definitely didn't join earth for this!

    This is pretty pointless, more of a rant than anything..
    It really bothers me...

    I don't dislike being human but I do agree with the rest of your rant.

    Neither did I... Nobody did, problem is finding the reason why we did join at this time and in this space. It's not an easy question and there are no easy answers, but we know one thing... This isn't the reason.

    Time to look for other reasons.

    I don't think you dislike being human so much as you dislike being a enslaved to a system that you never conciously agreed to be a part of.

    I know my reason, it just seems impossible! And its not possible alone... I wouldn't have come back otherwise, I can be sure of that at least!

    That's it exactly! I don't dislike my human form, its pretty cool. I just dislike having to live this way and the fact I only live this way because of my human form..

    I also wanted to add to this. When someone else is able to tell you what your "rights" are, they aren't really rights, but are priveleges instead, since they were granted to you by a more powerful entity. A true right is one that you can take and keep by your own power, and you have many of them.

    Then dwell on this... ^^^

    and not on this... ^^^


    We get what we dwell on. Thought is very powerful.

    Good... Then be that, which you want to be.



    I haven't read your PM yet.....

    I agree with you. It is not right that we must live this way.

    You don't have to pay to live on earth. Where did you get that information?

    You don't get anything for nothing. You have to pay for it in some way or the other. Animals put in work in order to eat, you put in money.

    Wrong. You either have the rights that are given to you or the ones that you can defend.

    If I were to tell you that you don't have the right to live you could, of course, argue against that. But if I killed you I could then argue that you were wrong.

    What DID you join earth for? Let's see the contract you signed.

    I got that information through the tax man. Because he takes my money so that I can have a roof over my head, he also takes a percentage of any money I pay for food. water, heating etc etc..

    If there was no such thing as possessions then we wouldnt have to pay to live on earth, but we do...we have to pay for land, pay for a home, pay for basic necessitys in order to survive. Without paying then you would have no clothes, have to rummage for food, drink potentially dangerous water, and would likely end up dying because of the weather climate anyway.

    The reason I came to earth was to live and to enjoy living, not be a slave to money or to anyone. This contract was signed for me not by me.

    See? You are paying for other stuff. Not to live on earth.

    And that contract specifically says that you came here to have a jolly good time? You're dreaming this up.

    You don't have to pay anybody anything. You can live entirely without money, many people still do on this planet. But in order to do that you have to give up all or most of the society you currently are a part of. If you want to earn money and have modern conveniences and the safety that society provides then you have to play the game, and that means you have to pay, OR you can give it all up right now and make your way to a part of the world where there are enough resources, and few enough people to eke out a living on your own. Siberia comes to mind...

    I'm paying for things in order to live. I wouldn't otherwise....

    No, but why can't we just have a jolly good time? Instead of all this nonsense, working and still being left with barely enough to get by... We only need to look at children to see that we did not come here to be told what to do...

    I know, but in order to get there I'd need some kind of money, and even if I'm excluded from money, other people still arent.. people everywhere will still be dying from not being able to afford food or drink clean water. It's not even about me, its about mankind in general, everyone everywhere. Our spieces as a whole, this way of life is just crazy!

    I totally understand you're frustration, I've been there. It's up to you to decide to have a jolly old time, or not. It's your choice, just like everyone else. But nothing will be handed to you, one way or another you will have to struggle. That's just part of being human.

    Yeah you would. Just go to the woods and be a hunter and gatherer for a while. Tons of people do it to this day. No $$$ involved.

    But don't come back asking for blankets or TV or stuff like that.

    I don't have a lot of money. I work long/odd hours. I don't have a TV at home. I have lived through half a dozen winters without heating (and that's not in the Caribbean).

    You bet your ass I have a jolly good time .... most of the time that is. Nothing's for free.

    Still about this stuff you supposedly signed up for? Nobody asked your opinion when they shoved you in the door and they're not gonna ask you before they kick you out the back entrance.

    And as far as kids go: they get told what to do 24/7 by parents, teachers, and everybody else they happen to cross paths with.

    I'm sorry if I come across very harsh .... but you you've got this one life and not that many shots at making it a nice one.

    Don't waste it. Go. Live already.
     
  19. a valid point was made earlier - the simpler you lead your life the less you're tied into the money thing; but whether it is paying in money , bartering or whatever, things have a price. You work, you get paid, that is what your worth (in the eyes of your employer anyway). Life isn't fair, you make the best of it that you can but there are certainly ways you can make things less difficult for yourself and for mankind if you want to go down that road. I would rather not mix what is basically a personal issue with the much larger political and social one!
