slaves give birth to slaves

What if I told you the Moon is mine, and you had to pay me money to see it.
What if I told you that Earth was mine and you have to pay me money to live on it. While the first one sounds silly (actually there are people that buy land on the Moon or other planets in our solar system) the second is more realistic. Except it's not me that is taking money from you.
How can there be a difference?
You should read my previous post to get an idea of the answer to that.

The thing is that we are alone in this Universe, so.. it is ours, we have no one else to share it with but ourselves.
Having this perspective our resources are unlimited. We just have to get organized to get what we need.
But for now, all we have is here on Earth. As our number has increased, our consumption rate leaves visible effects on the planet.

Before calling ourselves evolved let's point out where we came from.
Humans as all animals need to satisfy some needs having given some limited resources and means of getting to them. Who lived and who died was decided by nature - to be interpreted as certain uncontrolled events.
All specimens, to survive had the same rule: there are no rules. You had to be stronger to protect your resources from intruders.
But we have evolved..
What are we looking at now? Not much has changed, except that we impose ourselves rules that leave the majority hopeless and some with certain positions the means to manipulate all others. We are actually enslaving ourselves.
How? By giving too much credit to money. We have been raised in believing all resumes to it. Over and over again we are reminded that a successful life means money, and fame. How about education, ethics? We are all in a system where a cause-effect rule applies whether we like it or not.
Instead, they promote the making of money by any means, so that they meet no resistance.

And now.. commercials

?? It's all about being flashy, outstanding. Outstanding? We are all the same, there is no one superior in any way. We all have potential to do whatever we want. We only differ in what we choose to do.

We have to evolve to a state in which we don't just work for having stuff but work for us as living beings. We should be organized in such a manner that everything we need to sustain life here would be free and available to everyone. We can achieve this. If we all wanted to.
If we manage to use resources out of our planet, then the term of property would have no meaning. Asking for food will be like me now asking you for air. It sounds kind of ridiculous. It is a right I have from the moment I was born because air is plenty for all of us. I don't need anyone to give me something I can get myself without effort and causing no discomfort to others.

Free people look for enslavement.
In certain crisis situations when there is no hope, humans tend to follow the one that gives them hope. But what happens if that someone giving them hope uses this opportunity to build influence and manipulate them for his own wellbeing? We should be skeptical to saviors, especially when we need salvation most. Hope is free, we get it for granted, we do not need anyone to follow. It's only for us to find courage to take action and support our siblings.
