Why Live To Acquire Than Live To Survive

Our confusions and contradictions as humans starts when we create disturbances for ourselves in the name of wishing to acquire more than we need as against what others have such that we put ourselves in competition and then live to become what we ignorantly compare ourselves with others just to be like them without wishing to survive first which thereabouts makes us sick in the head and thereafter become deeply insane.


These self-gratification and aggrandizement reigns only in the minds of fools who for every reason refused to recoil themselves out of the bewilderment of an already lost acquisition to age and time which is the most freedom of all out of the many things that affects our minds and interest that we refuse to control but retain for further disturbances as we live through the tale of life with its culture while living in constant calculations.


As if it were not enough when we have it all and even filled extra empty spaces just to make sure we get contained in the things we acquire by force or by stealth or even rightfully to our gains hoping that they wouldn’t finish or better still retain them through eternity without losing any of them to nature and time in the space of continuation and natural progression.


The rate at which humans fight for property and possessions around little and scarcity, makes the entirety of it all appear like someone who went to the stream to fetch water from it and only to pour same water back to the same stream and walked back home with an empty jug feeling tired and worked out following the efforts and energy applied just to achieve a worthless mission that takes away the entire existence of human activism while living to acquire rather than to live to survive.


The sole purpose of every human being is to live to survive and not to acquire because once you live to acquire, it will make the affected become a stranger to existence and possibly appear stupid and greedy as well as stubborn and thereby tend to reduce human consciousness and negating the natural law of co-existence just to have it all to one’s self while others remain empty and wanting to have because the fact remains that what they should have had been taken by some foolish fools against the many.


People who live in anger are only making indirect expression of being empty as against what they ought to have and in this sought of state become dangerous and a threat to those that have little with those that have more and enough but refuse to spare especially to those with surplus because once anyone have excess, it is natural that they must have cheated many and may have worked very little except for those in the exclusive list of goodwill and honesty.


Possibly, no one is supposed to have what will take care of an entire city all to themselves as single individuals hence these things occur, and these same individuals will progressively have enemies that would want to take from them what they indirectly took from people in a direct form while applying the force of labor and exclusive wages to maximize profit out of work done through efforts or probably steal to acquire rather than live to survive naturally.


It is a submission upon the fact that consumption is a big issue and a problem for mankind in that it spells out the right words and expression through our actions as it exposes the truth to reveal that our consumption level implies our acquisition level because it is only when we don’t get satisfied that we make advances for more where our targets for such reason is to ensure that we get satisfied which is never possible and wouldn’t be achieved.


This is why the recent worldly natural challenge of not just to acquire to survive becomes a constant drive to define us hence we have to make it a personal duty to respond to only the things that would make us live and allow acquisition to position itself based on the things that comes to us as we live to survive continuously and gradually while it takes us to the place we hope to dwell in the course of trying to survive in the phase of mixed options and aspirations.
