To the children of the modern age and beyond

By Alan Baylis

You do not have to live for the corporations. Children are at present raised for close to twenty years by their parents, educated for 15 to 20 years and will often go on to do more study. During this time they and their parents will pay for their shelter, food, transport, etc, and for all of this preparation they can probably only expect to get a job that does little more than pay them a subsistence wage and with no promise of a secure future. The corporations on the other hand are presented with a fresh, fully educated, worker who is willing to spend their days earning for the company far more than they personally take home. When a worker is employed to develop a new idea or product for a company then all the profits go to the corporation and the employee is still dependent on the job for their survival.

Working for someone else to earn enough to make it through the hard times when the garden or personal industry isn't doing too well is a necessity; but we do not have to leave our gardens bare and our tools idle while we go off to work for a company which generally only pays enough to buy the daily food and a place to live on a God given Earth.

This tradition of believing that we need a company to sustain our life can only be continued if people believe that they need more than the essentials to be happy. The false happiness drawn from buying anything expensive will be overshadowed by the years of work and stress required to pay for it.

To find happiness, read the Bible.
