People wants peace and prosperity, wants wealth and riches, wants to be left alone and do whatever they want.

I am watching a documentary about Iraq ravaged by post war internal conflicts, while looking at the images of the victorious Iraqi army, the contrast of the ruble on the streets and the dirty faces of children hiding from those bearded armed men became evident that peace brings long lasting misery and sufferance to the people, and war brings immediate misery and sufferance to them.

I think of my son and his sister, those two little ones who will inherit the results of our combined actions.

If you are the people, you just can't win, you are damned and condemned since day one to be a slave, Iraq might be a extreme, but while watching the news you realize that the president who yesterday condemned police brutality in Hong Kong is the same that today sent his police to brutalize his citizens.

Power should not be threatened, is better to lower your head and remain silent.

Go to work, paid the over priced coffee, because, Everything is wonderful, forget your thirst for freedom, no, it is not the 2014 LEGO movie script, it is the world.

But how do people lives their lives like this?

Simple, they make the best they can and take what they can get, be it crumbles or a piece of the pie, be it the whole pie... Who cares, that is what you should do.

Above all, remain silent, remain clean, don't denounce abuse, hope for the abusers not to notice you, this is great advice for living a happy healthy life, after all how much does it last?

Smile and conform, seek solace not in the upcoming paradise, find it today in hearth, lower your expectatives, resign, that is the real formula for a happy life.
