LOL at posters like you who think that money is everything.

You know what else you CANT do? You can't be black if you were born white. You can't be Mexican if you're Chinese.

So what? You people are so blinded and jealous of people with money it's sickening. I'm actually very sad to hear that your lives will be empty because a few ultra rich people won't let you into their club. I wish you could see the value in your own lives, but you won't. To you value is tied to money with a bond that will never be broken in your eyes.

I personally don't need to be part of that club. I don't watch TMZ, and Paris Hilton is NOT better than me. Money has nothing to do with that.

You won't understand this post, and that's okay. Maybe if I told you I was a billionaire you'd accept all of this as gospel, but I won't do that. My opinion is as valuable as anyone else's and so is yours, even if you don't value it much because you're not rich.

Great post OP. You're thinking deep; S+F!

I guess what you're trying to show ultimately is that we're living deads born into a matrix system. So life remains just an illusion. Right?

This is interesting because I'm going to try to construct a little thread that you might like because I thought the same all my "life".

Life is all a drama, preconceived and agreed to before anyone is born. Yes, there is free will -- you are free to forget what you came here for and do whatever you want. Then when you die, you will say to your self, "Dang it! OK, let's try that again...." and again ... and again ... until you awaken in life and "get it" and do whatever it is you set out to do, whatever lesson you set up for yourself. You are your own judge in the unveiled crystal clarity of the afterlife.

Do you know Who, In Fact, You Really Are?

I wouldn't call LIFE the biggest scam in the world. I would call it "reality and what we've made it in to". Reality is bulls***. I don't want to listen to it anymore but I have to because I'm not rich enough to escape it. Again, its BS! Reality sucks I think I'm going to go be like the bear man, live in the wild *almost* care free, you suckers can have fun at your sad, boring lives, I'm going to pursue my dreams that have nothing to do with our little "reality".

I stay in the shadows on ATS. I've maybe made three other posts throughout the year that I've been a member. But it's as if bobbylove321 opened my head and read from it like a book. You have no idea how incredible you just made me feel to know that what I think every day when I go to school or work is also thought about verbatim by someone else out there. I used to hear people say that money is the root of all evil when I was a child. It is only now that I have moved out and started living on my own that I realize how oversimplified that expression is. Money is the greatest insult to our intelligence. People should live free lives and accomplish things only because they choose to. Not to gain money or because their parents told them how to live their lives.

bobbylove321, I mean it from the bottom of my heart:

Thank you for existing. It's people such as yourself who give me back some of the hope that slowly slips away each day of my seemingly meaningless life.

The absolute best post I've seen on ATS to date.

The meaning of life is to experience love, to embrace it, to give it and to receive it.

Our gov. sets a bad example, and misguided people vote them in. It's a vicious circle that will take a miracle to break us out of.

Are you saying ignorance is a conspiracy? Or meaningless is a conspiracy? Did you write this thread drunk and tired? You can go ahead and ascribe meaning to whatever you want. chances are at least someone will disagree with you. Big deal, the people in your story were ignorant to the NWO, does that make their lives meaningless... well that's up to you, I don't think so. Is this master plan by a group of jerks the only meaningful thing in the world?-- @#$% no! Cosmological observations suggest that the universe is so big that all possible arrangements of matter exist within the confines of physics, that means this planet with our problems and apparent inequities actually must exist. You could just say that has no grand "meaning" though if you want. Let us know if you can define your transcendental notion of "meaning".

Hallelulya praise the lord! And the truth shall set us free!

I seriously wonder how people can figure out things like 9/11 is an inside job and then just leave it there and not consider the wider implications. Not approaching the mystical aspects.

The whole of reality is a scam. Its a circle of death not a circle of life. Even Karma is an unfair system of debt. We are stuck in the Maya, world of illusion. Transcendance is breaking free from this. Pure love is that freedom. Make love your goal!

Yes,you are correct,it is all pretty much meaningless.

Unless you can see something more...or less

I have effectively escaped.

I am not homeless,but have no home in the accepted sense.

I am not broke,not rich...but don't work.

I am NOT a thief in any sense of the word.

I ride a bicycle,because rules other than common sense don't apply.

I help others more than I help myself.

I am free.

I know they will come for me eventually.

I know it will be the slaves that resent me.

I am free.

I am vermin.

I have no problem with this.

It is all utterly meaningless.

It is all free.

Stop playing the big game.

The game will end.

And you will be free too.

Life is just a ride,and then you die, you do what you are conditioned to do.

Nobody really has to die.

Reality is what remains after you reject everything else.

I agree OP....

To me a meaningful life would be all of us getting our own peice of land at the appropriate age.... (which we all know there is wayyyyyyyyy more than enough for everyone)

Then spending my time gardening and creating beauty in all my surroundings, playing, singing, dancing, singing, with my friends and family....


Why are we forbidden from having our own land?

Why must we go get some slave job to barley feed ourselves instea of growing our own food????

Why do we have to pay some bank or lanlord to just have a place to SLEEP and COOK, but to never really have time to enjoy because unless we waiste our time as a slave then that land is never really ours???

Those men are not going to get away with this crap for much longer....

The whole system is going down.....they are gonna be the lost ones soon...

You can't eat your money, and you can be sure the rest of us who have been learning to be selfsustaining etc are gonna turn them away when we do get to the point where we have our own land FOR REAL, not renting form a bank or other person...

It is not to far off.....someting has to give soon, their system of greed is collapsing as we speak.

Like minds,money is just a tool,the same as using a tool to fix someone elses vehicle or vessel,the ultimate tool is your mind.

A lot of people just BELIEVE they have one of those.

Don't isolate yourself so much.

Friends and family are the same as everyone,do you reject everyone you don't know?.

Life is risk,you can have a good time if you are somewhat cautious.

Take everyone and everything into yourself.

Hug the universe.

Let go.

I agree with you OP but...even if life is a scam, you were put here to live and enjoy every minute of it. You might not get to experience this ever again. I thought I was miserable as well, but a post like this made me open my eyes.

I was angry with God for letting people kill innocent creatures, for giving me such a boring life. The truth is my life is better then a guy who is stuck in a war torn part of Africa or Iraq. I have seen war when my parents lived in Iraq and the aftermath was not pretty. I embrace living in Canada and I enjoy working to make money. Sure it may not be enough to have much fun with but who cares?

You are here to live whether it is a scam or not. Because on our dying bed, we will be thinking how it was a terrible idea to be depressed all the time. You should be enjoying every passing minute until your last breath. You don't know what awaits you after death. It could be torture or happiness, would you want to waste this life then head out to be tortured?

I know I wouldn't.

The system is in the process of approaching the point where it can be nullified,just watch and wait.

And then what do you think will happen? Do we go back to the source?

It seems as though the matrix is needed to support anything existing in consciousness so if it breaks down what is in its place?

I said nullified,not eliminated or destroyed.

The only source is YOU and ME.

There is no ultimate ruling power.

Our biggest problem will be with our petty bickering.

Everyone knows what they need.

If they think deeply.

That is the hard part.

Hey, bobbylove321 a big star and flag for a job well done. The story reminded me of a song from 20 years ago, "Since I Gave Up Hope I Feel A Lot Better" by Stene Taylor. Some neat lyrics include:

"While the world winds down to a final prayer
Nothing soothes quicker than complete despair
I predict by dinner I won't even care
Since I gave up hope I feel a lot better"

"Life unwinds like a cheap sweater
But since I gave up hope I feel a lot better
And the truth gets blurred like a wet letter
But since I gave up hope I feel a lot better"

See the complete music video at:

Give up hope!
