Basic income

One of the things we like to say whenever somebody brings up basic income is well if everybody had enough money then nobody would work. I have a rebuttle. If everybody had enough money to basically live meaning not in any kind of luxury but enough to be considered out of poverty then this would free us to do the things that we truly enjoy. I have been following a real estate mentor by the name of Tim Taylor. He said that when he finally made enough money to live comfortably without fear or worry he said that he got to the point where he said "is this all life is"? Vacationing on the most luxurious beaches across the world he hit a point where it just didn't feel like "life". He said "is this what life really is?". He asked himself "is vacationing in the greatest beaches and "doing nothing" all life is? So he hit a point where he wanted to duplicate his success in real estate - it was his calling to teach people the ins and outs of real estate so that other people could experience the freedom that he was experiencing.

So my point is that you can have all the money in the world or even just your basic income guaranteed without having to work and you will come to that point where it will arise within you that you were meant for something greater. 

This could mean that you want to produce music. You want to paint. You want to build homes. You want to design homes. 

Fruit is awesome

I was eating a banana and it was one of those things like "what am I missing?". I could go to the store and buy all these things I don't really need like cigarettes, coffee, diet soda, and donuts but there was something that 'stuck out' about the few pieces of fruit sitting in the small basket at the gas station convenience store. So I picked up the fruit and knew that was something I really needed. So I ate the fruit before I dug into any donuts or cracked open my diet soda and viala it was like awesome. I felt normal again as before I was sleeping a lot and earlier my eyes were bloodshot like I had smoked a pound of weed. I sort of felt like i was withering away before. Now I feel renewed. Then I started thinking about what might happen to us humans when the bees have all disappeared if they decide to disappear and there is no fruit left? Well the first thing that came to mind was utter and almost complete disaster for most. Fruit is the lifeblood of human health. Please bees don't go away. On just this day it has made every difference to me so that must mean it is good and that we should keep it around for as long as possible. 

Then I started thinking about how when I wrote this I was only considering myself and not what is best for all. Are we the reason the bees are disappearing or is it their directive principle coming forth? If it was their directive principle coming forth I was thinking 'what good could come of that?'. Surely fruit is best for all so why then are the bees disappearing? Which would then send us into a down spiral of shitty health? Well I guess we will still have beans and nuts and grains for bread. 

Is this the bees way of saying 'we will not support the human race' if so wouldn't that be shitty? Is this because we have not respected the animal kingdom and nature as one with ourselves? If so then how should we go about doing that? I would say we would have to start respecting each other, ourselves first and that would start with implementing a basic income. It says we respect each other as life as fellow creatures of earth and that we wouldn't want you to starves or to suffer just because the system hasn't rewarded you like it has rewarded the millionaires. 

I think that a basic income would be a start towards changing the way we are treating each other because then our dignity is in action as real money going to real people who really need it bad so that they can focus on being the best person they can be besides always worrying about money and how they are going to pay the bills. Am I right?  I think I am and I think this should be a part of everyday life - equal money for all would be the ultimate paradigm shifter though. But I think we need a basic income to transition to that level of global awareness.
