Every day I understand better why poverty exists.\n\nAnd I’m not just talking about money.\nI’m talking about mindset. About behavior. About repeated decisions over years.\n\nMost don’t live: they react.\n\nThey wake up and are already running… but they don’t know where to.\nConsume what’s put in front of them. They opine on what’s trendy. They get outraged when it’s necessary. They calm down when entertained.\n\nThey don’t think.\nAnd the worst: they don’t even realize they’re not thinking.\nThe perfect system isn’t the one that confines you.\nIt’s the one that convinces you that you’re free while programming you with habits.\n\nBecause the strongest control isn’t fear.\nIt’s routine.\nIt’s “I don’t have time”.\nIt’s “this is just how it is”.\nIt’s “I’ll start tomorrow”.\nIt’s “that’s just who I am”.\n\nPeople are not poor due to lack of opportunities.\nThey are poor because they don’t question.\nBecause they prefer certainty over truth.\nBecause they prefer belonging to a group rather than facing their own ignorance.\n\nAnd watch out: I’m not talking about being “smarter”.\nI’m talking about having the courage to ask uncomfortable questions:\n\nWhy do you do what you do?\nWho benefits from you living tired?\nWho benefits when you spend to feel better?\n\nWho taught you to hate risk but love debt?\n\nWho convinced you that working more hours is “being responsible”, but thinking more is “wasting time”?\n\nMost don’t want answers.\nThey want anesthesia.\nThey want entertainment.\nThey want cheap dopamine.\nThey want to feel “a good person” without doing anything different.\n\nThat’s why some people will never leave the same place:\nbecause their life is a loop of impulses.\n\nAnd the most brutal: when someone starts to think seriously…\n\nothers call them “crazy”, “deluded”, “selfish” or “conspiracy theorist”.\n\nNot because they are wrong.\nBut because it makes others uncomfortable.\n\nSo yes: thank you.\nThe system needs you exactly like this: quick to react, slow to reflect.\n\nNow the question no one wants to read:\n\nAre you awake… or just entertained?
