Man is paying heavy price to live. One has to earn money to constantly and consistently to make a living. He has to make more or equal income against his expenses.
Life has become so complicated.
You will realize this notion when you stop earning but continue to live and nobody is there to support you.
Gatherer’s life needed less effort, no expense. Hunter’s life needed little effort and no expense. Farmer’s life needed more effort and little expense to live. Modern life needed complex effort and more expense to live.
Governments buy loan to run. People buy loan to spend. Business buy loan to exist. Startups buy loan to take off. Students buy loan to study. Marriage loan, car loan, home loan…. Soon loan will be sanctioned for funeral expenses.
Earth’s resources are digged, priced, consumed overwhelmingly. Earth’s resources are not democraticed, instead they are owned, priced, sold though earth is offering its resources free of cost to humans. Humans do not pay earth for its resources.
Where we are heading with the increasing cost of living day by day? The urge for profit, quench for becoming financially protected, never ending commitments… all leading to failures in family life… leading to more divorces… leaving singles unmarried… finally no child birth, negative population growth, less humans…less consumption.
Looks like nature is adjusting itself automatically.
What humans can do to make the life easy to live? Will less consumption resolve all the problems? Will less desires resolve all the problems? Nothing can resolve anything when basic needs to live are costly.
Wealth ceiling is the only solution to make humans earn evenly. I have already written a article on wealth ceiling. People will loose desire to hoard wealth uncontrollably. The urge to “win” will fade off, instincts to be odd man out will be diluted. Wealth and earth’s resources will be distributed and consumed evenly.
When “excess” is punished as a crime and treated as a sin, there are chances that human life will become simple and easy to live.
