Being dependent on our\u00a0own capabilities\u00a0and\u00a0resources helped create a strong, plentiful country for so long. That said, the existing country as it is now is entirely different than when it began.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Are We So Dependent?<\/h2>\n<p>It is much too complicated to get into how the \u201csystem\u201d was created. That said, the purpose is to enslave through debt and to create an interdependence that will force you and your family to never truly find the freedom you are seeking. It manipulates and convinces you to continue purchasing as a sort of status symbol to make you think you are living the good life; while all along, it has enslaved you further. Wonder why we have all of these holidays where you have to buy gifts? The system needs to be fed and forces you into further enslavement. If you don\u2019t buy into this facilitated spending spree, you are socially shamed.<\/p>\n<p>Collectively speaking, the contribution from our easy lifestyle\u00a0and comfort level has created rampant complacency and a population of dependent, self-entitled mediocres. We no longer count\u00a0on our sound judgement, capabilities and resources. The system keeps everything in working order so we don\u2019t have to depend\u00a0on ourselves, and furthermore, don\u2019t want to. \u00a0I realize\u00a0that many of the readers here\u00a0do not fall into this collectivism, as you see through the ideological facade and know that the system is fragile and can crumble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going Rogue: 15 Ways to Detach From the System I am inspired by the very definition of self-reliance: to be reliant\u00a0on one\u2019s own capabilities, judgment, or resources.\u00a0Ultimately, it is the epitome of\u00a0independence and\u00a0lays the groundwork of what we\u00a0are all striving for \u2013 to live a life based on our personal principles and beliefs.
