The system of Mammonism

Through the pages of history, we can’t help but to see a rich and a poor, always; sometimes richness is seen as entitlement, other times it is seen as an exploitation, which is the case with the communist system. In contrast, in the eyes of a few, this disparity between rich and poor is the zone where people exercise their emotions. Primordially speaking, before any doctrine is infiltrated into people’s minds, there is always a magnetic field of togetherness, where sentimental emotions are provoked by themselves from both sides, rich and poor, not necessarily through charity, but through trade as well.

When a government eliminates this disparity by monopolizing every sector of industry in attempt to supposedly make all people equal, which is the case of the communism, sympathy, compassion, and empathy, to name a few will no longer exist between people; they do exist, but during holidays—one day, and again there is a difference between simulating compassion and experiencing compassion.

Modern man sees this as a joke; what is bizarre about him is, on the one hand he suspends all empathetic feelings during trade, which could normally lead to love—the zest of life, on the other hand he suffers all sorts of discomforts without knowing the causes.

Capitalism, which is in fact Mammonism; the disparity between rich and poor is reinforced by the thread of usury. One pole is staring at his capital, and another one is preoccupied by the burden; happiness and sadness are the property of the central bank; raised or lowered by a quarter of percent. The foreclosure on a small scale and the deficit on a large scale……..and the invisible hand controls both of them….
