Cuba took a very long time to grow on me, but by the time it was time to leave, I'd grown rather fond of the place.
So all these happy Cubans are making only about $US25 a month!
How would an American shrink making $US100,000 a year explain such an anomaly?
How would a New York 'Jew' shrink whose 'faith' suggests to seek the material gold that comes with success ... diagnose the collective trauma that has overtaken the Cubans?
And at the other end of the HAPPY spectrum based on (what EWE are worth) we have Bill Gates.
Yes he is the role model by which all Capitalists 'value' themselves.
He is portrayed as an asset to humanity.
I see Bill Gates and his 'kind' as the part of the problem.
Here is why.
Bill Gates at one time was worth $US100,000,000,000.
100 billion (it fluctuates with stock value)...maybe he is again...no idea.
Simple math exposes the ruse of Capitalism and of those who wish to become Kings and Lord over humanity.
(Pssst....Kings need loyal subjects.)
The earth is about 4-5 billion years old.
100 billion Gates dollars divided by 4 or 5 billion Earth years.
100/4 = 25 or 100/5 = 20
So Bill Gates since the beginning of TIME here on Earth has made about $20-25 per year.
And there are people who I suspect might not be making that in a year...today.
In Cuba 300 pesos is about $25 / month.
How can these people be so happy? I have been to Cuba several times. I have seen their smiling faces.
Here is where you do NOT need to explain rocket science to know something is terribly wrong with the system as structured.
But the people who have their brains disconnected from their hearts will always find a way to say ... 'but I / we are worth it'.
Worth what?
Here it becomes apparent there are several ways to measure how much a heart weighs.

It is only the anti capitalist mindset that claims its the "systems failure to society" that causes everyones problems. What happens in a capitalist system is that people are allowed to indulge in there own habits. Now most people simply do not have good habits, and therefore lead a bad life style, and consequently, their lives suck.
People are a failure to themselves. When people realize they have failed themselves first, maybe a positive change will happen.
Its a crock of shit to claim the "system" is always the cause of all hardship. look in, not out.
