CIEIR Open Question #4: Paying to Live/Killing us is cheaper?

Posted by CIEIRMusic - July 7th, 2021


This one's a bit of a twofer but they're a bit of an extension of my previous question. While I still continue to ask the question of the point of life, I've accepted that until I get an answer I must live in it. However there are certain aspects of life I've never gotten.


First of the two: Why do we pay to live?

As the world evolves, the prices of everything we need to survive get higher and higher. Food, Clothes, Shelter, Hygenics increase, causing us to try to either find better jobs or live off the government tit in order to pay it off. Why? Living should be a human fucking right, not something you can put a price tag on. We literally can't live without food, shelter and proper hygeine and yet the longer we live on this planet, the higher the prices get. Which leads me to the next question: Why is it that it's more cheaper to kill us, than keep us healthy?


I look around grocery stores and other food stores but they all have the same pattern. Every bit of healthy food. Whether it's lean meat, fruits, veggies, grain, milk, even their vegan alternatives are very fucking expensive. My mother once had a saying that Milk was getting as expensive as Gasoline. Yet, if I look at the snacks and dessert section, everything at their highest is at least $10 and at their lowest 25 Cents or whatever cheap other country equivalent to it. Then you have booze and cigarettes. Save for the more fancy stuff like 12 year old Scotch and the smokes rich people have on a stick, many booze and cigarettes and even illegal drugs are cheaper to buy. What kind of world is this? Too expensive to live, much cheaper to die.


Personally if the world were up to me, I'd abolish rent and property tax. Make every house free and have only enough room for the basic essentials, because that's all you need to survive. Food? Same, but adjust the quantity based on the anatomy of each individual and family. The way I see it, living should be free, it should only cost you money if you want to live rich. But that's just me. I'm pretty sure someone has some bullshit excuse on why things are the way they are.

...honestly, you got a point there.

I still got ways to go though, so, can't really say I disagree, especially with your personal solution.

This was something I was thinking for years. The one thing that always bothered me was that to live people have to pay. We literally depend on plastic and paper that tells us how much we can live for.
