Teach a Man to Fish

If you give a man a fish then he will eat for a day,
however if you teach a man to fish then he will eat for a lifetime.

The only problem is, I really don't want to eat fish anymore.

I was taught to get a good paying job, and then the authorities and leaders in my life would look after my interests.  But what really happened?

The supermarkets are full of poison.
Education never once taught how to manage money, or how to have a healthy diet.
Work grants you a forty cent raise.
Till death do us part ends with high divorce rates, and leads to a fifty percent loss (or more) of capital.

Your fishes are all toxic!

Yet there are good things out there.

The standard of living is high.
The luxuries like water and electricity are nice.
You have the right to speak out against the government and not worry about dying.

So if all these good fish are out there, then why are all the fish that I'm being given toxic?

It is because you cannot trust your authorities.  They are your enemy.
You cannot trust people with good intentions.  They are your enemy.
You cannot trust self righteous teachers, doctors, lawyers, and preachers.  They are your enemy.

If anyone can not back up what they are saying with data, then they are harming themselves and others.  You cannot trust them.  Society may be too weak to remove these people, but don't let them ruin your own life.

Remember it only takes tasting one good fish, and you'll never want to go back.
