The Smart Hard Worker Versus the Lazy Ruling Class Establishment (Outside the Bubble)

Many have heard the tale of the ant and the grasshopper. Well now hear the tale of the hard worker that lives intelligently, versus the lazy ruling class establishment member that lives it up while the train is going off the precipice. You know, living is "easy" with eyes closed. But when they are opened for many and all who count, that is a problem for these "high class" people. So, I will just blurt out the solution for the normal working person and below. Sure, the solution is to simply, get smart. That is it, get smart and know what is going on around you and why it is going on. All you can do with unlimited patience, understanding and tolerance, discipline, thought and control is to get to work, like Thomas Edison did with his many experiments and mush work to create the modern light bulb or find the graphite needle element that would make the phonograph or wax record player work. Civilization is created by those with this kind of mentality, and destroyed by people with the opposite mentality. Opportunities are open by those willing to work smartly and attentively.

Sure, it is the most simple thing in existence, simple as it comes. Work. Not just any work, but smart work as well as hard work. The thing is, sure, the ruling class seems to have all the wealth in a school yard bully sort of way, and the hard workers seem to be victims because they neglect their smartness. But if understanding is gotten, then it can change, deeply change. That is the whole point of this article. Not going up a metaphorical tree and becoming a "survivalist" or fearing the future, but to understand life and existence and even work with it on your own terms as an honest hard and smart worker.

For many have heard the tale of the ant storing up food for the winter and the grasshopper freezing to death without food because he played during the summer months because he did not store and save food for the winter. So, integrate beyond that thinking, from that level here: The working person and the establishment elite are the same story only on human terms in this civilization, in this society, in the now. Sure, I could make it less metaphorical and more concrete, but I give you the puzzle and you have to put most of it together yourself. I show you the picture on the box of the puzzle, but you have to put the puzzle together yourself. If you do not want to understand this article, living is "easy" with eyes closed. But to see everything and work with everything as it is, that is consistently hard. For, indeed, what is real is real, nothing else matters. I am not here to say "it is all right" or scream "it is all wrong," but to tell you what it comes down to in reality to make it to where you want to go. The current ruling establishment elite in this civilization and their idea of immortality is statues, buildings, wars, monuments and "pigeon dropping catchers"; the rational working people and their idea of immortality is to have what the establishment religious idea of God genuinely has in his or its own heaven, a life of plenty and happiness without having to worry, but just enjoying consciously forever creating ever more easily for himself or itself. Note I used the word "rational" behind the words "working people" in that last sentence. Think about it, is that not what all rational, genuinely thinking working people want, even though there seem to be few of them left around the Earth? Without the guarantee of future eternal life, life is just an empty promise of death, greed, fear and corruptible seed no matter what you get. Think deeply about what I am saying, because it is the reality of the situation. But, no matter how I put it, I can only wish all would grasp it. Some will, some will not, but I will say this: Life and existence is only good for those who make it good. It is otherwise for those who make it otherwise. I will leave it at that.
