Life Bumps & Bruises

Life comes with bumps and bruises. Sometimes they can be down right nasty. Responsibilities can overwhelm us. House payments, car payments, auto insurance, utility bills, medical bills, grocery bills, auto repairs, school needs. Geeze! Life is all about having enough money to keep things together and going. Everything but the air we breath has a price tag on it. No wonder our world is so fragile. No wonder so many people are struggling. No wonder families fall apart and no wonder we are a people of stress.
 
Like the slaves of long ago making bricks out of mud and straw while being whipped by slave drivers, our world has become driven by money and the men that rule it. Considering that my parents paid a monthly mortgage payment of $127.00 a month and today's average mortgage payment is over $2,500.00. It seems like someones blowing the balloon up to get all they can out of it.
 
There will never be true happiness found in a society where it's people has to spend so much money every month just to live and make ends meet. Somehow, we as Americans have either lost sight of what's truly important or been led down a path of slavery. Life should be about freedom and happiness, not slavery.
