Episode 002: Belief
What do you believe in? When was the last time you asked yourself that question? The last time I think any of us has had a chance to really ask that question was when we were kids. Even then we never actually asked ourselves what we believed, we just believed. There is an interesting force at work underneath the surface of our ever day reality and that is fueled by our perceptions. We have all heard the expression before but what does it really mean? How do you understand this creed and live by it? These are excellent questions so let’s dive straight in.

Episode 001: The Start of An Adventure
There is something missing in this life. There is a persistent struggle to achieve something larger than ourselves, while being stuck in a system that is so focused on a homogeneous monotony that we eat ourselves into heart diseases or when we reach the end of life, we say it was all for the children. What is life? We are told from a young age, and mind you this is from my generation’s viewpoint, that we must finish school, find a partner, get married, have kids, retire, and die. We are tasked to work for companies we hate, who’s existence is reliant on paying us as little as possible so that they can sell our labour for record profits. We are a cog in a machine that keeps on spinning and turning until we break, and the reaper removes us from the assembly line.

Series Overview: Why do humans have to pay to stay alive?
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard just to stay alive in this world? Why it takes so much time, money, and effort to give yourself the basic necessities to just stay at home and do nothing, much less perform to your fullest potential at a job or hobby?

Why do humans have to pay to stay alive? Part 5
First, let’s talk about power. All other topics in this series upset me because of the unjust requirements to obtain such vital resources. This one, however, is different. I am ok with being charged for power; however, I have ideas on how to make it free. Power that we currently pay for is essentially human effort bottled up and used for work.

Victory Treasures
The light shone green and purple, and then red, pouring in through the windows. This was a big day and it was time for me to get up. Although we prepared the town square for the parade, there were still some last-minute things to take care of. Breathless, within moments I was running out to the street.
