The Rich's Conspiracy(2)

It is not a secret anymore that there are conspiracies behind almost everything(major events)that occur in the world and one of those out of the several is the conspiracy of the Rich regarding the lack of financial education in the school system.
From reading the book " Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich" I have come to notice something happening today which earlier occured thousands of years ago. In today's world because of people's low financial I.Q, people are willing to trade their freedom for monthly paychecks and salaries. Because they are lazy to search for knowledge and be current on money issues, they find themselves subdued and in slavery or servitude to the goverment and employers who have kept that knowledge as secret.
In the Holy Book, there is an outstanding truth that illustrates my point. Joseph, an Hebrew slave turned Prime minister,as a result of his knowledge of the economic system of that time,was able to make the egyptians lose at their own game.
From the divine revealation he had about an upcoming famine(what we would call a global depression in today's terms), he was able to prepare adequately while others frolicked in enjoyment and ignorance. Little did they know that not only the love of money is the root of all evil but also the ignorance of it.
Perhaps while Joseph was training himself in managing and acquiring wealth,the Egyptians were enjoying the wealth thinking it would last forever. But then the famine hit and the result of everyone's work was shown for all to see. The Egyptians were willing to be slaves just to have food in their stomach. They sold everything to eat everyday. This wouldnt have been so if they had prepared by acquiring knowledge that will bail them out when the time came. What a sad tale.
This is currently what is happening today. Because people do not know how to acquire wealth,keep and increase it, they automatically become wage slaves(salary earners) to those who do. It is then paramount to say that it is the Rich who control the world with their money made from from knowledge. In the 21st century,a new rule of money is that knowledge is money. The Rich play this game,with the masses at the losing side and the name of the game is cashflow. To win this game as the Rich does,one will have to play the game according to the rules by going for this same knowledge and become literate,not in academic terms but in financial terms. To sum it up, I'll say "knowledge is power"!

Breaking away from addictions

Addictions. Almost everyone i know deals with one form of it or the other. I dealt with several times,and i know of many people of my age bracket that do also deal with it. Some find it painful to break away so they continue,others think they have no choice.
People get addicted to several things,like the internet,television,pornography,drugs,sex etc. Most addictions are harmful to those that do them. Though there are good things to be addicted to,but in many cases people get addicted to the wrong things.
Addictions are formed when a thing is done or used continously over a long period of time. In the instance of a drug,a person that takes it more often than is required over time can develop the habit of going back to use that drug,however to his detriment.
The question now is how can a person break away from an addiction? As a fresh addiction free person,i know the process can be long and arduous,but possible. Though sometimes it requires a higher power to help one out,which it happened to be so in my case. There are different ways of breaking from addictions as it depends on the kind under consideration. Lets look at pornography magnificiently. Pornography as i know it is a very dangerous thing to get addicted to. It is the viewing of sexual pictures,videos,and other sexually explicit materials. I've been there,done it and won the T-shirt to show for it. It wasn't easy. I started by praying about it,then reading books and learning from materials how to break free from such a scorge. With time i was able to stop,but for only a while. The process continued but at one time or the other i just put a full stop,not a comma to the disastrous habit. I had to resist the urge to read or watch anything that was pornographic in nature. But all in all it took the grace of God.
Some might be wondering why all the fuss about pornography but i can tell you,its very detrimental to one's health;physically,mentally,emotionally and spiritually. Just take it or leave that way because you are hearing it straight from the horse's mouth. All addictions including porn ain't good for nothing. They only make a person's life go down the drain. So if you are currently battling with one,i beesech you to take the necessary steps to break it now before it turns into something really awful!
