The most efficient way to make money.

The most efficient way to make money is by solving people's problems. The most common way to go about this is by either creating a problem, or creating the thought that there is a problem, and then creating a temporary patch that needs to continuously be applied. If you permanently solved the problem then there would be no income, permanent solutions simply aren't of interest.

It's saddening that this is how our system works, but this is the reality of life as we know it. A while ago my friend told me that I should write a book about how I feel, I replied;

Well, I've honestly thought of doing something like that. However, there's too many opinions, beliefs and faiths flying around for mine to matter any more than theirs. Besides, my entire view of what life is about is defined in one word, to thrive. What I can go on about are the flaws of society, the main one I find comes down to opinion, literally. Most people have this idea of "I'm right, you're wrong!", other than that the fact that we're following a very ancient way of doing things isn't the best for a society that's advancing exponentially. Laws are really only to fix things that we don't know how to fix; a patch on the system. For example, speed limits are in place so we don't crash and etc... Well we could add sensors in the cars and in the roads so that nothing can actually even bump into each other, and in terms of losing control or slippery roads we could include a form of adhesive in the pavement. But this costs money, and the banks/corporations will only fund such a project if they're making money in return. Unfortunately the easiest way to make money is by solving an issue, and if we solve all the issues then there won't be any money being made. That's actually a topic in itself though, the conflict between Science/Technology and the Monetary system.

The game of life.

I'm in school studying the general subject of criminal law, the program I'm taking is called Protection, Security and Investigation, and one of my teachers is a criminal defence lawyer. A lot of my teachers talk about some very interesting subjects, but this really stuck out to me - the below isn't a quote, it was simply inspired by what he had to say.

We could define a game as something that has a beginning and end, and rules. With that being said, life can be defined as a game; the game of life. It has a beginning and end, and rules. You can't simply win this game for that would technically make you dead, you can only be winning. To be winning you must understand the rules so that you may use and interpret them to your advantage. The trick to this game is the amount of differentiating groups playing and therefore a rule is not permanant for it is varying in interpretation according to each group.

The rules to life are governed within different societies and cultures, and therefore are subject to varying interpretation, for they all aren't going down the same road at the same time. Due to this, depending on where you live and how you're raised, your self made role in the game of life will be different. I say self made role solely because you have to make an imprint yourself and participate in society; life won't stop for you, it's up to you to stay ahead of the game. The fact that there are so many different groups of people is what creates such variations within rules, and with that a rule is not permanant, it can be changed by means of interpretation. This is what we will use to our advantage to stay on the winning side while playing the game of life.
