Get out of the box

Humans love boxes. We confine ourselves to the four corners of a box, inside of a room, staring at a box, the computer screen, eating microwavable meals from a box, shuffle ourselves into cars, another box, just to arrive at the office, a box, and then to the cubicle, another box. Even the chicken that most people eat was raised inside of a box cage, and not even free range.

Freedom of movement

The reason why I’m such a fan of free range eggs are because the simple fact that they are free. They are free to roam, free to move. This, to me, is the ultimate feeling of freedom, simply having the freedom to move when you please, to go where you like, at your own pace, at your own time. The sad truth is, we have become slaves to time, and lack the freedom of movement. The city is designed as a grid, to keep the individual chicken orderly on the same grid pattern, shuffling perfectly into the cage. When you think about it, nobody is free to move. Everybody is gridlocked. Everybody is a slave to time.

You are a slave

I remember working on the farm in Israel, milking cows, and the system in place to perfectly extract from their udders. I would walk around the cow shit with my big boots on, kicking the cows from behind to wake them up, whistling at them, making noises, and shuffling them one by one in a perfect single file line in between the fence. Once we got them to the milking station, we locked them in their cage, and strapped the machines to the udders, extracting the milk, which transfers to a big vat, and then is shipped and sold all throughout Israel. I feel like most humans, 99% of humanity, are like these cows, just being milked of their time and energy, confined to a box in the fence, shuffling each day to their destination, where they are confined and extracted of their resources.

The entire world are slaves to the United States, and the power of paper, bureaucracy, and the dollar. I love the symbol of America, the eagle. When the eagle kills its prey, all it has to do is swoop down to the side of the cliff and nudge the goat off of the side, strategically using less effort to execute his hunt. Once the goat topples down and smacks against the ground below, the eagle swoops down and feasts. The question is, would you rather be the eagle, or the goat?

School is prison

I’ll never forget the public school education I had here in Philadelphia, and how I had to walk through a metal detector every single day, sending my bookbag into a fucking x-ray machine. The doors were all locked, you’re not allowed outside, security walked through the halls, and you had to prove yourself through fighting just to get by, like a prison. Just think of prisoners, and how they go into gangs, and clique at the different lunch tables. I was actually threatened with a knife in high school, just like a prison shank! It’s not until you fight back, beat somebody up, that they finally stop and leave you alone. True story. The system is designed to keep you a slave.

Become a lion

A lion is untamed. A lion is strong, relaxed, and simply uses its dominating presence to rule its kingdom. I think that we forget us humans, we too are animals. We’re the king of the Animal Kingdom. It took us thousands of years of domination, crafting tools, bows, arrows, using gunpowder, crafting boats, and sailing across seas, conquering new lands, paving roads, building railroads, to get to the point that we are today. Don’t be a docile donkey. Be a lion. Zoom out from your eagle. Look at the world from my vantage point that is higher and more elevated, lofty. Stop thinking so base level, at the ground, like a goat, waiting to be eaten like prey.

Break free

So let’s say that we’re all prey, we’re cows in a big cow farm, being milked by our udders each and every day. Are you going to allow the milking to continue? Are you going to keep eating the grass, shitting everywhere, and sitting around being farmed? Or are you going to bash through the fence, and get out of that cage? If you knew with 100% certainty that the United States dollar is the current reason why you are being milked, being drained of all your energy, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to be the 99%, the slaves, that are all asleep to the fact that the system is working against them, or be the 1%, the eagle, flying above the entire system, free as a bird?
