Money off

Posted on by philipdodson

Money off could be useful if you actually needed something.

However, most of the Black Friday spending will be on items we as humans don’t really need and often we’re replacing a slightly outdated version of the same thing, perhaps purchased a year previously via a ‘too good to be missed’ Black Friday deal.

When we sit an analyse our life, it is unlikely that we will cherish the often dubious savings we made on items of no real use other than to satisfy our egos and to give us something to exchange the trinkets we were so lucky to receive for working for the industrialised corporate machine.

We could choose to stop looking for money off and savings. Perhaps we could spend our time instead actually giving to others who really do need something.

Money off stuff we do not need so that we can buy more of it with the savings we make – it’s insanity when you stop to analyse it.

It’s insane

We have huge potential to do amazing things and yet we waste that potential trapping ourselves in our mind, where we simply re-live the past or act out the future, mapped against a self-image that the mind has created and will protect at all costs from being ‘destroyed’.

If we stop an analyse what our mind is doing sub-consciously on a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, in fact, a lifetime basis, we’d realise the insanity of it all.

We are all insane to inflict emotional pain, and the resulting physical pain, upon ourselves almost continuously throughout our lives. If we are conscious, no one would do it to themselves. Why would we inflict any pain emotional or physical on ourselves?

It’s madness.

What if we just did in the now, be in the now, and stopped the analysis? What if we just consciously lived our lives moment by moment?

What could we achieve? How much better would we feel? Could we live free, without problems that we continually imagine in our minds?

Imagine a world free from this insanity.
