The Game


The Game: Exchange
If you are satisfied with this life, our culture and the way things are in the world right now…then you would have no problem if I make up a game called Exchange. Let’s say I pick you for the next contestant. You are somebody that may or may not be satisfied with the status quot or the current position they have in life, like everybody else, we all have problems. I have a coin to flip and a random selection from anybody in the world ready to trade places with you. Heads you can stay, tales you are exchanged. Are you ready to play? How do your problems feel now? If you think the world is great and in no need of improvement and everybody has the same problems, opportunities, health, wealth etc as you, then you should have no problem playing the game, because the world is fair from the position you sit in.  Anybody refusing to play the game knows the truth. We are 5-10% out of a 100% of the world. Play the game. I dare you. The point is, if you’re satisfied about what is happening on our planet then you wouldn’t mind trading places. Would you? If you think you deserve this life, you know the truth and can’t admit what we’re doing is wrong. Justifying our lives is pathetic. Without spreading the truth and teaching each other to live this lie, we will forever have people avoiding the reality of the situation and putting their hopes in false idols and subjecting others to slavery. Our minds are as far removed from the truth as the people we exploit to have these lives. It is no wonder why we can’t see the way. Though I do believe we all know the truth in our minds, it’s just time to confront ourselves with it. We are 5-10% of the world in the U.S. Play the game. I dare you. Now imagine if the game was mandated to all countries, and you don’t have a choice not to play. The only choice you have now is to flip the coin with a 50-50 chance of staying or leaving, or you may be randomly selected at any time from other countries to be exchanged because they have the option to play now too.
How fast would this world change if all were subjected to play the game from the rich to the poor...?
Overnight.
We discuss things like, what do you want to be, how long until you can get that house, when is the baby due, or that’s a nice car, how much? The sad thing is without all the exploitation of other people we wouldn’t have what we have today to discuss most of our issues. We subject people to ways of life that they know no different from. This is why the responsibilities lie on us. The sad thing is that most of us know no difference either. The materials cause all this blindness with the truth beneath it, taking our power to realize. This is why I believe the game should exist. It would keep us on the path to working together. Making everybody and their home a place they want to be. Instead of knowing the truth about starvation while we get fat, sickness while we stay healthy, they freeze to death while we stay warm, they consume dirty water and polluted food supplies, while we complain about imperfectly shaped apples and eat fast food.
Please help me,
-I am someone like you
