“The world lives by trickery. If you want to succeed you can’t be too good.”
- The Tree of Life
This is the flaw in capitalist controlled society: it encourages greed, immorality, deception and the creation of winners through losers. There is little common cause and identification. It is all individualization, divide and cutthroat competition. True success is much the opposite, success of love, morality and Spirit, and is measurable by the amount of value we create and pass to others, not take and hoard for ourselves. And so we’re all caught in this constant cultural conflict between what we know is right and what it dictates it requires to get ahead. It is exceedingly difficult to be true to both.
