"Earning a Living"

So yesterday, we were watching the stars and thinking about our lives... and suddenly we realised we're not living.

We're told to "earn a living" but what does that mean?

Why should you EARN the right to LIVE? to EAT? to be COMFORTABLE?
Why is water not free?!? (At least in this part of the world, there are drinking fountains all over Europe)
Why does food not grow on trees in public gardens and parks?!*
Why is shelter not free?!?!?!??!

Borders create this prison we're in. The land belongs to all of us, we should live together, share water, share food, share shelters, and most of all enjoy being free and not spending this thing called money.

Who are they to tell we need to make money so we can enjoy life?!

Let's go back to the forests, jungles, beaches, mountains...and truly LIVE.

But here's the thing... if you don't want the system and you wish to destroy it, you must find a way through it... For instance if you want to live on the beach you're going to have to buy that piece of land so that it is ''yours'' forever and you can live however you want on it. Plant your food, eat it, poop it, give it back the the Earth and get more food .. the beautiful cycle of Life.

You have to find the hole in the system and drag it down through it. But it all starts with baby steps, and people are already doing this around the globe.. From India to Costa Rica, Ecuador... etc. It's truly inspiring and we are seriously going to do that soon!



* I recently saw a banana tree in front a school next to my house, I'm gonna take one and give the rest to the people living nearby, especially porters and policemen... they get paid almost nothing and they should start planting food for themselves and others!
