When you were a kid, your world was small.
Your leaders weren’t politicians or billionaires. They were your mom and dad. Maybe they gave you five bucks for taking out the garbage or mowing the lawn. Maybe they yelled too much. Maybe they loved you the best way they knew how. But the key is this: you had access to them. You could ask questions. You could argue. You could see the faces behind the rules.
If they were wrong, someone could hold them accountable. If they crossed a line, there were consequences.
But the world we live in now? It’s big. Too big. And too many of the people in charge like it that way.
Power Hides in Size
In this big world, when something’s broken — when you’re wronged — you’re told to call a number, press 2 for English, or fill out a form that goes nowhere. You don’t get to talk to the decision-makers. You don’t even know their names. They wear titles, hide behind “policy,” and disappear into systems designed to protect themselves.
Corruption? Abuse? Greed? It’s all real. And it’s buried under layers of so-called “normal.”
There are people with sudden wealth, silent connections, and no intention of helping you. And if they don’t like you — if you start to rise, to speak out, to threaten their game — they put the brakes on you. Quietly. Legally. And very effectively.
Try to confront them? They’re ghosts.
But complain about your burger at McDonald’s? You’ll get a refund and a corporate follow-up. Because that system — for all its flaws — more info still understands something simple: the customer can fight back.
We’ve forgotten how to fight back where it matters most.
The Real Cost of a Rigged World
Let me be clear: No one should ever be homeless. Or hungry. Or afraid of losing everything because they got sick or laid off.
There is enough food. There is enough work. There is enough land and money, and time. What we don’t have is balance — because someone somewhere profits from the chaos.
Work isn’t supposed to feel like punishment. Your boss shouldn’t treat you like you’re disposable. A paycheck shouldn’t come with fear. That’s not how this life was meant to be lived.
We were built for rhythm. Work and rest. Struggle and joy. Duty and freedom. That balance creates healthy people. Strong families. Real communities.
Imagine walking down the street and seeing people smiling — not because they’re pretending — but because they have hope. Imagine streets full of people with bounce in their steps and dreams in their pockets. Money in the bank. Dinner on the stove. A future that’s not just survival — but joy.
That’s not a fantasy. That’s what happens when systems work for people, not over them.
