Citizen Cinderella

Digg deeper for the meaning and purpose of life and you will start wondering why you feel like a "Cinderella" citizen in your own nation.

When owing taxes to the state we have to pay them.

If we are entitled to funding from the state have to apply for it, wait and be persistent otherwise it is simply not given.

Labor is taxed. Shopping is taxed. Property is taxed.

Our foster parents need our money to play "elite"...

Our state knows when we are born and have a birthday,

Our health situation,

When we turn 18.

When we get married.

When we die.

Has anyone received a greeting card from the government for his/her birthday?

It has collected enough of our money but entitled clans believe our money belongs to them and they belong on top.

At the same time they can not live without us because all money they have come from "the people".

Some times I look at the live of political, business and other celebrities and wonder why they never seem to have enough or enjoy what they have. They always hunger for more...

As we all give our faith and money to our government it stands in a symbolic position of our extended parent. Yet no one is willing and daring to see this side of our relation.

Would loving parents tax their children and calculate the money invested in them demanding return with interest?

Can loving parents exploit their children's labor, keep them illiterate and sell their interest for personal gain?

All of the above sound absurd to people who have family and children whom they sincerely love.

This is how we know we are Citizen Cinderella - person and a family without a true parental figure in our society.

All former and current system of government that considered this deep meaning of life have brought peace and progress.

All others brought fear, war, division, death and destruction.

Being aware of this helps know who we really are and what the things around us really stand for.

"National Identity" - most expensive brand...

Looking for deeper meaning and the purpose of life I wondered what the most expensive brand in the world was.

The largest corporations seemed the obvious answer but it was too simple and obvious an answer.

Do not read on until you find an answer to this question:

“The leaders of which organization have the most money to spend this year?”

The place most of our money gathers is shrouded in mystery.

Our National Budget is only occasionally mentioned every now and then but as a whole its details are covered in deep mist and layers of paperwork.

Trying to make sense of the numbers one can’t help but be amazed at how rich “we the people” are.

We often donate /or it is taken from us/ the larger % of what we make to the “common good” – our Nation.

Our politicians are like priests as the battle for our vote is a battle for our trust in who will “save” our lives. Even in totalitarian nations and monarchies once the trust of the people is lost the system collapses.

Our Federal Governments are sitting on Trillions of our currency acting like it knows best what we need. Yet there is not even one nation in the world where life is fully satisfactory…

The so called big International Corporations seem to be hooked on the mercy of the state for protection and special conditions allowing them to have advantage over other market players hooked to other National Brands.

Yet their lobbyists twist and drill laws locally and internationally to maximize profit and keep their shareholders happy… slowly becoming Financial Island Nations…

Looking deeper at our own 

National Brand 

it is very interesting what our tax money are spent for.

Our language, culture, security, history and many more are hammered together into the shape of “Our Identity”.

What actually comprises “Our Identity” can really break a human heart…

Often our founding national heroes became such after bloody battles where many lives were lost on both sides.

Our territory was stolen from preexisting nations and peoples who are still part of the new identity.

Our language evolved from other languages.

Our culture is a mixture of many cultures.

Our DNA traces back to Africa.

All religions are searching for the meaning of the human life that is common to all.

Because all of the above cost money our National Identity becomes a very pricey brand.

We write history books omitting facts then covering up the omission with other stories.

We insist the land belongs to us now ignoring claims by violated parties.

We desperately search for what makes our nation unique and worthy of carrying its current brand. 

But the problems of our brands grow as the world develops.

Transportation and communication shortens all distances making omissions more difficult to hide.

We now have many nationalities, cultures and religions living door to door in big cities.

We find ourselves needing to know 2 -3 foreign languages just to keep up with global job markets. At the same time technology point to a lesser need for human labor in the future.

All of this trends surround us making us incapable of visualizing our future but at we hold on to a National Passport...

We compare the military spending of national brands arguing that this money can find a better use.

The defense budget is only a fraction of our National Identity PR campaign.

If we had no enemies we will not need to defend. If we admit our faults and willingly share what we have there will be no enemies left to protect ourselves from.

How shall we spend the tax money we gather in the future?

Will we give up our expensive brands in exchange for an identity of one global human family?

A lot has to change inside of us and we have to find a deeper meaning to the purpose of our lives before we are able to embrace such level of freedom.

The freedom of the global /or even universal/ citizen...
