Saw this graffiti the other day in Villa and it has got me thinking futher……
“if you think your free then you haven’t flown higher enough”
 I am a sceptic of the current system of things as curroption is rife in a world of neo libiral ideals, where private compaines and bankers are the one who are in control. People say to me look a the good side of things – How can i when so many of my brother and sisters suffer of accordance of my consumer lifestyle. I just don’t no anymore if i want to exsist in a system that makes the richer – richer and the poorer – poor. Thus the constant void of uncontenment occurs as we are all getting bombarded with imagery of the rich and how it is our mission in life to reach this goal. Well I do not think i want to be another cog in this system, I do not want to belong in this hamster cage with no fullfilment in life.  So what if you can’t afford a new gadget or a new pair of desginer shoes it dosn’t make you any happier -  its all a ploy to distract us from reality. The reality of our city life style is a illusion living in a box seems to be the furhterest thing away from nature as poosible. Life is what you make it -  not if and when why not  here and now, if you strive for the house, car, and holiday once a year then fine if that will make you happy but for me this would make me feel like a caged bird unable to fly. You are free – free to work earn and buy – do you no what i think i will pass.
