How the world works, shown as an Australian outback story
How the world works, shown as an Australian outback story
It's a slow day in a dusty little town. The sun is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody attempts to survive on credit
On this particular day a tourist from down south is driving through town , he stops at the local Hotel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to hire a room for a few hours for a shower etc.
He is given keys to a room and as soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the $100 bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the Butcher.
The Butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the Farmers Co-op.
The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his drinks bill at the hotel.
The publican puts the $100 back on the counter so the traveller will not suspect anything.
When the traveler comes down the stairs, he buys a drink and pockets the remainder of the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Australian Government is (& most other Govts) are conducting business today.

Ignorance is bliss, but still ignorance
Just a quick note about all the experts out there. A favourite saying I heard in the last few weeks is:
"The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about, & refuse to investigate" (Wayne Dyer).
Or as in scripture
1Peter 2:15-16 Because thusly is the will of Yahweh: doing good to muzzle the ignorance of foolish men, as free men yet not as if having freedom for a cover for evil, but as servants of Yahweh.
So we are assisted to seek truth & ignore foolish people. Some people's belief is their truth, but it is not necessarily THE truth. It is a fine line.
More on this later, but a final brief line from the book of truth. These saying manifest themselves thru so called wise me. I heard someone the other day saying his father always said, don't argue with a fool because that creates 2.
Similarly here we have:
Pro 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
But the very next line says to do the opposite. Why? Maybe so that the fool cannot get away with a lie & believe himself to be a speaker of truth.
Pro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
So stand up for your truth, whatever it be.

Welcome to truth as I see it
This will be a repository of all my views on a few subjects. I want to have a simple link to a site where I can send people to read rather than repeat in emails. Makes sense (to me at least). There are many things that distract everyone everyday...all driven by the black box in your 'living room' (or your propaganda room). Do you live there? If so, there is more to life than listening to state-sanctioned propaganda on a mass scale. Get out & search the truth yourself. My self-discovery began many years ago. Little did I know that was not me! I continue & seek truth as I see it, backed by scripture.
Welcome to the matrix....you may find the blue pill or the red pill here. Either way you are already in the matrix. What you choose as your opinion is yours alone. You live with it. As do I.
See you on the inside
