When I cannot cross an empty street because the law states that I can only cross the street when the flipping walk-signal turns green, I feel like I am being oppressed by the law, I feel like I'm being forced to be a slave, and it feels like the system expects you to abide by rules that have been put into place for stupid robots who cannot check for them selves if the street is safe to cross or not.
Call it what you want, the intention of law is to control us, and that by my definition is a form of slavery.
I do think that rules are needed, but I think that the current systems which I have experienced are mostly very dumb, too strict, and simply unacceptable.
IMO The governments sometimes put too much focus in the wrong place. It seems as though many politicians and people who control the politicians are corrupted. My perception of the matter is that they are mostly corrupted by greed.
Keep in mind that I have only lived in a few countries so far in my life. And of the countries I have lived in, it is mostly the English Societies that are especially suffering from bad political/corporate control.
Life everywhere seems like a big rat race! and that is imo a fundamental flaw. It is as if we are stuck in fast mode. Imo we need to be adapting our lives to a slower yet more efficient pace. Don't you guys agree?
I mean, 5 days out of 7 spent at work? that isn't right! If we are all working collaboratively, abiding by the same laws, then we should imo also be sharing much more of the wealth.
