‘…and the worms ate into his brain.’

Our ultimate futures are to consumed my the decay elements of the earth. Souls are for shoes. You walk on them … they wear out … you buy another. You die and the ‘ballgame is over.’ lights out.

If you died today do you know without a shadow of a doubt where you will spend eternity? There is a heaven to gain or a hell to shun. Jesus is the only way. He died for our sins and freed us from our shame. Just ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and then ask Him to come live in your heart. No matter what you have done you are forgiven.

Speaking of religions, let’s include it in this list: if you don’t believe in it – you don’t have a soul, if you do – you don’t owe it, as you should follow all these rules and commandments (depending on your beliefs) otherwise you loose it too.

Also, even if you are a dictator and unconditionally OWN everything and everyone in your country, nothing prevents powerful neighbors to invade you, impose democracy and put you to jail for life

So, don’t focus on all this materialistic stuff, rent or buy if you want to, pay cash or lease, but don’t let any of this junk enslave you. Love, travel, make friends, enjoy life! Time is the one and only valuable asset, and it runs out sooner than you think.

Don’t worry, be happy!

Great article and I agree! I always believed there is no such thing as home ‘ownership’. Even if a person has completely paid off their house or condo, they must stay enslaved to the government because of the property taxes and fees.

Well, it’s becoming obvious why Americans are more religious than other first-world countries. Religion is something immaterial to cling to when all else is lost, and more Americans are losing these days.

During the Great Depression, Americans defenestrated themselves and died on Wall Street. As suicides, who owned their soul? Did they? Did God? Did Lucifer? Did the Void? Did Hel?

I agree that Love is the answer, but the Judeo-Christian-Islamic god has given evidence that he is NOT Love. After all, “ye shall know them by the company they keep” and YHVH’s pals committed the Inquisition and suicide bombing. At least the spiritually bankrupt are less likely to jihad or bomb an abortion clinic!

I hope that someday we will all understand that LOVE is the answer

Listen, the funny thing is that the fed gov and all the top 1% elite rich all depend on us paying taxes…right down to the police and all the ‘so called’ enforcers that can physically put us in jail. If we all unite and just say f**k it and stop paying taxes, what are they going to do? Build a prison for 300,000,000 Americans? Let’s dump the incompetent politicians and start over. We can make the rules if we all get off the couch, stop listening to Mariah Carey BS and do something!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don’t really own anything you can’t carry on your back at a dead run.

We are living in a time of broke “debt millionaires” who rent their mortgages. Under water mortgage owners are people who rent “with debt”.
We live under a feudal system of land ownership based on English law. All land in England is owned by the Queen, you are simple given a “fee simple TITLE” which the Queen still has rights of taxation, police power and eminent domain. We mostly use the same system here in the US. You walk away from the bonds of feudalism by giving up your “debt millionaire status” by walking away from your mortgage through “no deficiency laws” set up in several states. Or through allodial title in some states.
