Fueled by dream
Do you realized that most of us keep on living because we believe in a common dream. Those dream take shapes in various kind. We dream of a better future, that's what makes us struggle everyday to make our life better. Some of us do good deeds to be redempted in the afterlife in heaven. The other buy stocks, hopefully that when the price is right he can make something out of it. Yes, we are species that is capable of dreaming, and we cannot live without it.
Dreaming is not so bad, if we realize that we are dreaming. Most of us just keep on going with the flow. Dream by definition is not real. And clinging to something that is not real is really dangerous. But when most of us agree upon the "reality" of the dream, than it becomes the reality. One most the most concrete example is money. Since all of us agree that it is valuable, that IT IS valuable, otherwise it is just a piece of useless paper that bear no economical use whatsoever.
Dream is the mold that shape our society, for better or worst. Capitalism today is still alive because of that. Most of the dream that they offer is not real. The rate of inflation is still rampant. It is just a matter of time that they finally realized that everything is just made up, that all of us us just dreaming. Our account in bank doesn't mean anything but a bit of data. A simple crash in the system will return everything to zero. The banking system itself is build on trust that we can all redeem our money from them once we make deposits, unfortunately it is not true. If we draw all of our money from the bank at the same time, the economy will collapsed imidiately.
Maybe we have to think seriously starting now, by keeping ourselves satisfied with "Bare Necessities".

That why I agree with Marx who said that religion is the opium of the masses. It alleviates the pain without curing the sickness. Religion itself has been the opressive power, colaborating with the ruling class.
We need to create heaven on earth, now, not in the afterlife, hoping for God'd retribution. That's God's problem whether S/He should retribute us or not, not ours.
I believe in an utopia society, and actually this blog is my journey towards it.
