What is the Rat Race? It is a journey, a journey that majority of people take. It is a journey where the price you pay is freedom. In exchange for freedom you are given a reward called salaries, bonuses, and the prestige of what they call a Position. It is called a rat race because no matter how fast you run you never finish at the top, if you ever finish at all. Why? It is because you do not own the race track, you run somebody else’s.
Indeed it is a journey. But in this journey, if ever you decide to take a break, then the rewards stop, takes your whole life down the drain. Thus, it is called the Journey of the Broke or JOB. If this were so, why then do the majority choose to be in it? The answer is simple – it is SECURE. FEAR and GREED are the two greatest motivations of man. JOB satisfies both motivations at the same time. GREED – because of the rewards your enslavers offer, you are able to buy what you want (false image of freedom). FEAR – because you fear losing the rewards, you push harder and run this “race” faster.
