Finding freedom from society

 Society will enslave you! Not that society does it on purpose. It's not like there is someone sitting behind a desk somewhere plotting to enslave the masses, its possible there are such people, but this not what I am speaking about here. I am speaking about the nature of human society inevitably enslaves the masses. How does society enslaves ? Society is made up of a group of people. Human beings are social creatures. In order for human beings to live in harmony we create social norms. We come up together and define things.

 The Bible says," the love of money is the root of all evil." 1 Timothy 6:10. Yet, if one was to walk around and ask most people do you love money ? The answer would be no.

America is a capitalistic society. What does it mean ?  A capitalist society is an economic system where private individuals and organizations own the means of production, and the market determines prices and distribution of goods.  The main characteristic of capitalism is the drive to make a profit.  America is all about making money.  Majority of people in America are all chasing after money.  When getting money is the goal of life, the society is corrupted, the individual is corrupted. This is what it means to love money ❤💵. Its for t...
