Human Systems, Human Cost: Death by Inaction
I do not believe we can fix any of the current systems—government, money, education, healthcare, housing, nor how food is distributed. I believe the entire thing needs to be dismantled, and we need to start again.
All of the systems that claim to support our existence on this Earth were built on fear, lack, scarcity, control, power, and greed. There isn’t one system humans have created that isn’t based on or subject to one or more of those things.
It is time to stop fighting with things that are not built on solid foundations of abundance, wealth, support through free distribution, and freedom. There is enough for everybody, and we must build systems that reflect that.
Why is it time to stop fighting with broken systems?
There comes a point in an object’s life where it is no longer repairable. Think of your car. You’ve paid it off. It’s 15 years old—or maybe older. It begins to have issues that are becoming costly. At what point do you stop repairing the car because it is no longer worth the cost of those repairs?
The systems we have currently are costing people their mental and emotional well-being. They are costing people their lives. People are dying because of the mental and emotional toll our current systems have taken on them. Dare I say, some people don’t get the healthcare they need, some don’t have a place to live, and others starve because we withhold what is needed—not because we don’t have it, but because we choose not to provide it.
We elect people to our government who knowingly and intentionally choose not to provide food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education to every single human being in our country right now. Murder is supposed to be illegal. Why do we let our systems kill people intentionally, knowingly, and willingly?
How many people have to get sick or die before we start again?
Instead of recognizing the need for systemic, foundational change, we just throw our hands up in the air like we don’t have control over it—or even worse—we defend it.
Money is a human-created system.
Government is a human-created system.
Food distribution is a human-created system.
Housing construction and distribution are human-created systems.
Healthcare is a human-created system.
What does that mean?
It means we have full and total control over every single thing that happens within those systems. If we don’t change them—or worse, claim that we can’t change them—we are consciously choosing to kill people.
Every time somebody dies because the system didn’t provide for them—it’s murder. If you defend those systems and are unwilling to change them, then YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DEATH!
That’s not natural selection. That’s human selection. You’re the one making that choice every time you vote or defend the broken system.
Stop defending murder!
Change every system that intentionally withholds food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education from anybody for any reason—including money.
Make the right to survive more important than money.
Make physical, mental, and emotional well-being more important than money.
And then build systems that reflect the inherent value of human life.
