Cheap Solutions

Ever been part of a collaborative context; a workplace, a classroom, a group of friends, only to find that what seemed like togetherness was actually a fake setup? Some gained, others lost out - but it felt comfortable for a while.

In a society it’s much the same; some achieve a variety of things. Perhaps they gain status, and find themselves liked by their surrounds. They may source backing, undergoing a structuring that gives them a checkmark.

Each element part of constructing a life, a process that rely on consuming, infrastructure and obstruction of what’d impose a risk. Often, being able to secure these rely on low-cost resources. The things that make outlook to a better future possible; fulfilling the basics needs of food, sex and safety.

The way that’s gained, can even create value in the process. It may pressure some a bit as well. Contracts needs to be fulfilled, which depends on sequences of events to occur - fixating fate. The costs to making that happen, oft gets put somewhere else - externalized.

Think of how you’d sit at a casual café. The waiter brings a warm brew, and maybe they made it, but the likelihood it that the task was handed of to someone else.

Whether tea or coffee-beans, both these and the tools used to prepare the hot drink, were transported and procured somewhere else. It involved many small tasks being completed, mouths being fed and food produced to satisfy that need.

Some beings get eaten, some underpaid, others exploited in other ways. There are those whose future gets extracted out of, and it feeds into occurrences of addiction. It’s not pleasant, but it’s reality; and facing it is good for the brain.

Just think of the strain that cumulates in the community-care of children. Some get left neglected, their needs unmet. Down-the-line they may be more likely to sink into “habits” that turn self-destructive. And sadly, that’s in-demand.

Once hooked, falling prey to some bait, it becomes an easy way to access exploitable intimacy. That particular lives would indulge, so as to lead to excusing the kind of exploitation developing, is a consumed outcome.

Once a life is overburdened with impossible choices, decision-making gets complicated. It’s likely that you too underwent ending up drawing the short straw. Most did, in some way. Some failures are easy to condemn, others veil themselves within social approval, belonging or success.

And of course, it’s not exactly free to be part of shaping that. Some do so in the very desire to protect their loved ones against others doing the same. Would you stand idly by while those you love were raped, sunk into addictions or made exposed to it?

Think no money is the answer? What happens when there’s suddenly a complicated situation, and to avoid causing harm, you gotta ask permission from those unaware?

Wisdom in partnering-life may be desirable, and patience lead to value-creating mutualistic partnerships. However obstructing the natural connection between lives, also produces escalating consumption, each deprived of the nourishment one are for the other. In respecting those whose decision-making lead them to avoid intimacy, there are instances when on an overall scale, a life can achieve greater presence for those they would, on points, at times, in ways and such.

The Allure

Beyond the more casually criticized behaviors and tendencies, there is one kind criticized throughout history and across religions. Often the casual word for it, gets misused to eliminate resistance on doctrines, ideology and the like. That particular form of misuse is done by those indulgent in being overly certain about what’s the right way to do things.

Don’t get me wrong, righteousness is great. Only when it neglects some details, it can turn out more corruptive than what it stands against. Just think of those acting tributaries to the shaping of circumstances, situations, events and contexts, that are key-parts in culminating a life into developing addictive streaks.

Complications, turn the stricken lives into targets for blame-shifting, pressure and the like, oft by the very same individuals that caused the complication to take form. What’s worse, one misdeed, or causing a thousand to occur?

In a similar way, disbelief can be described as an inability to navigate a circumstances sufficiently well. As compounding negative outcomes pile up, the life gets emotionally invested. Add to that the cravings from peers, networks and circles, demanding wrongs done to be hidden and veiled, and suddenly it gets clear how a life finds itself stuck. Especially some need be wary, to avoid the lure of denial and promises of pleasance, followed by sudden heavy exploitation.

The temptation is simple: Results. Wealth. Safety. Victory. Religious confidence. Social dominance. Longevity. A better future. Alleviation. Once those are on the table, it becomes easy to overextend and call the overextension necessary.

The habit, alluring as it may be, is shipped packaged with withdrawals, and there may be a long way down. And on the way to that breaking-point, there’s a constant pollution of choosing the immediate and cheapest solutions.

It may develop when things get too complex. When the capacity to approach life, is limited compared to the weight a life must carry.

It’s found growing abundantly amid problems present in today’s society; extreme consuming, heavy denial, indulgence in pressuring prices lower and rationalizing fixes over self-inconveniencing lasting change.

The deceptive nature of it, the tendency to exploit law-structures and ethos elevated by trust derived through indoctrination, can lead souls to get tempted in the weakest of moments.

Oneness

While all may to a degree avoid harms, live by values and hold principles, there is no human life that does not at some point extend too far. In any there is a tendency, at times, in ways and such, to act in disbelief, disharmonically, it’s been spoken of for ages.

Within a limited frame, a person may be correct. Yet still, in a deeper metaphysical frame, their ways may by participating in harms. A group of people may resist corruption inside itself, while still fail deeper principles outside its own boundary.

Imagine you’re looking at a map, on it there are two sides. One seems proper and righteous. The other, while divided, righteously opposes the forementioned. Another portion of the faction opposes the opposition. Yet there’s a smaller denomination, that silently despises the opposition for supporting the those claiming correctness.

Remove enough layers, and like an onion it eventually sprouts if left too long.

What seems whole, like adhering to a group-norm, may fail societal standards. A society may grow corrupt, by enforcing slavery, oppression, malicious governance - the hands holding the weapons misled by claims of consensus.

A group of people may be failing societal standards, while upholding deeper principles. Yet as they negate the malice of society, their struggle to comply with deeper laws. With every failing day, they are exposed to the risks that accompany, weakened.

In that way, those presuming adherence to legislative structures, may be claiming themselves justified in doing misdeeds. Only by stealing others ability to stay compliant, do they gain elevation within a context, and the bounty that follow. Only by that high, relying on collective blinding while pretending to serve shared interests, does the predation of consuming incessant violations yield them superiority and dominance.

Consider at which points you find yourself in this model. Sadly, in every action, spoken word and life on earth, there is the disbelief, hiding in some grim corner. At times it’s by direct action, sometimes by sourced continuation and sometimes veiled by relying on pressure-points: “Sex is wrong”, “evil corporations” or “money the root of all evil” - in the process obstructing the poor in livelihood, and hindering decent relations.

A lot of cruelty stem from a deeper mechanic; the world rewards deception, exploitation, dominance, rumor-spreading immediately. While it leaves a life with unmet needs that only cumulate, as more of the same cheap methods are used. Bit by bit it destroys love, trust and erodes division of labor. Over time, resources drain; electricity unnecessarily spent, money that could be applied otherwise and the like.

The Spark Within

Inversely, within all there is the spark of light to be found. That grain of truth, of oneness that forego the deceit. There are none without it. Be careful it doesn’t get misused. Discovering the costs late can lead down a dark path.

Consider this: Do I wrong, in writing this in the context of running business and deriving livelihood? I got those I gotta live up to, bills to pay, things I gotta do and a variety of expenditures - this ain’t a charity. It would seem desirable work nonetheless, and I don’t have time to spare.

Do you spot the twist? It’s cheap silencing; “you cannot write that in a context of business. You spoke of reality, harms done and shared light while all profit is evil”. Resistance gets pathologized, independence framed as wrongful. The light misused in a severe form to deny livelihood, and that which depends on it. A viler form of disbelief, misused to censor, while indirectly selling oppression as care, necessity and normal.

It’s the kind of imposed hindrance, that turns trust into control, and drains trust in what presents as decent. The disbelief of the claimed correctness, turning presented collaboration into status-games and fear-driven hierarchical games. People keep reproducing weak dynamics because weak dynamics often get rewarded first. Strain cumulates, building up consumptive pressure.

To differ, what I wrote is no different than wrapping “what are your top three priorities?” in a bit of content. There is nothing holy or sacred in particular about this piece I crafted; it merely highlights a vast continuous unnecessary expenditure of resources, and intends to leave you, the reader, with the opportunity to go about it with greater skill.

This being an effort to secure personal income, I guard against the work feeding into a worse drain. Even as I try to make what I got on offer accessible, I ain’t taking that kind of loss, indulging in that casual stringing lives along, tricking them to buy products that merely enable their continued self-decline. What I sell are nourishing life-upgrades, intended to make your life easier, safer and better able to do what you do.
