Let me tell you of the greatest restaurant to ever exist. It’s patrons came from far and wide, mostly billionaires and celebrities, but even they had to wait to get a seat. And the wait list was long.

The guest have started to be seated at their tables, that surround a huge stage. The lights are dimmed and strobe lights are pointed at the stage. The curtains open and there the Master of Ceremonies throws his arms open and yells, “ WELCOME TO THE AUCTION HOUSE”!! That is how the night always began at the Auction house. It seemed like something out of a fantasy, it wasn’t like the auction houses you regularly see.

There they had the freshest ingredients and you bid on everything from the tomato that goes in your sauce to the protein. And with the protein you could bid on everything from whole chicken, to whole cow. You could bid on what cuts of the animal you want, you could even bid on what style of cooking you wanted. The price would get to ridiculous heights but the auction house was worth it, As I said it had the freshest ingredients from farms across the country, but also the best raised animals,

and the best chefs the world had to offer. The auction house would only open once a month, which makes sense when you think about all the prep work it would take to prepare such an extravagant night.

Even those who worked there were the finest waiters, waitresses, prep cooks, butchers, and metre D’s, the world had to offer. And they were paid handsomely for their time.

The auction house was an all day event it started early afternoon and went late into the night, sometimes even past midnight. During the cooking of the dinner which would take a while considering that the ingredients are as raw as they can get. Some would even say they were still moving.

Different events such as charity auctions, private parties in different areas, and side shows would be going on. David Blaine was a regular performer there, food and magic go hand in hand. But there was a dark secret that the Auction house tried to hide with the bright lights. That Charles, an unlucky worker, who was the recipient of some bad luck one night.

After everyone would leave the auction was cleaned by an army of maids. Sometimes over 100 maids would come in right after all guests have left and begin cleaning. This was Charles first time being called to be a waiter at the auction house and he worked hard to be there. He took pictures of everything with his phone. When the army of maids came Charles left in a rush as he felt out of place. It was odd that so many people was needed to clean and why so quickly. But it was such an upstanding

establishment that he didn’t think too much of it. Who knows how these rich people think.

Charles was driving to the airport to catch the plane back home. When he realized he forgot his phone.

The auction house had a policy that if any belongings were left by mistake to let security know and they will bring it to you where ever you are. A great service considering their high brow guests. But Charles was only 20 min away from the venue so he figured it wouldn’t hurt to go back and grab his phone. Plus he wanted to see the Auction house one more time before leaving. After all he didn't know if he would ever get called back. So, instead of making someone come bring it to him at the airport. Charles pulls back to the auction house

and notices cars and people near the entrance. Strange he thought, but he assumed it was the maids finishing up cleaning and didn’t think too much further.

Scared of security Charles sneaked to the back door to see if his card still worked to get in and sure enough it did. He walked cautiously to the kitchen to grab his phone. After scurrying around for a little bit he found it. But it was dead, whatever, he had a charger in the car. As he turns to leave, he hears the lights turn on and the announcement, “WELCOME TO THE AUCTION HOUSE”. In disbelief because

he never heard of them doing two shows in one night before. He looks and he sees multiple people wearing masks. What is going on, he thought and he watch more intrigued. But his curiosity soon turned into horror once he saw what was going on. The animals they were auctioning were far beyond normal. In

fact they were all endangered species. Giant Pandas, Tigers, Rhinos, they were auctioning off all types of animals. Surprisingly not as many people bid on it as he thought would. But he soon learned why.

The last animal on the list to be auctioned was a human. The crowd roared when they saw the person chained up on stage. The bids starting flying in, people were bidding the economy of small cities for this person.

Terrified Charles went to leave, but he heard the back door open, it must be the workers coming in. Scared Charles tried to go the other way and that’s the last thing he remembers. Charles when he finally reopens his eyes, the words that once brought him joy and amazement now brought a horror like no other.

Wait everyone here at the auction house we have a special surprise, two humans today what a treat. As this was an unforeseen circumstance we will give everyone a taste today free of charge as a way to cleanse the palate. Now enjoy the snacks and festivities as we prepare your meal and thank you as always for Visiting the Auction house.

There’s a story of a man who was more generous than them all, yet was hated by so many. All the man ever did was give what he had to those who had less, but because of the man’s brash nature he was hated by everyone he helped.

If he saw someone who was poor he would shout, “someone as down on their luck as you clearly needs some cash and food. I can take this sorry sight that I am seeing take this and go clean yourself up.” The man while offended, would definitely take the cash and would soon be out of sight. If the man sees a sick woman coughing. When they would cross paths he would scoff at her. As if she committed a heinous crime against him. The man would then grab the women, and take her to a nearby doctor to get her treated immediately. While at the clinic he would say, “here this man will make sure you regain your health, so that you may not snivel at others like you did to me. And worry not about the bill, just be in good health, this town is dreary enough without someone spreading sickness.”

Hahahahhaa… A truly despicable man, especially if one was to ever hold a conversation with him. Lucky for the man no one ever thought of going near him and talking to him. Most wouldn’t even thank him. Not that they can be blamed, considering the mans words. And yet he still helped so many. Even while his counter parts would receive all the love and praise, despite not lifting a finger or spending a dime to help the people. Just showering them with nice words.

Well one day the man was confronted while helping another. Another rich tycoon came up to him and said he had no business talking to these people in such a way. That they were no less than him just for having less. In which the man replied, “of course these people are less than me, if they were not why would they need so much help. Less in items and riches.” “But not less in spirit the other man replied.” To which the wicked man replied, “less is less you can dress it up in any neat way you want, but $1 will never equal $100 no matter how much “spirit” it has.”

The people then rallied against the man, agreeing that they should no be talked to in such a harsh way, the man conceded for the day and went back home to cool off. The next day the people ignored him and avoided the man, and any he tried to help would harshly refuse. The man didn’t understand why they wouldn’t just allow him to help. This went on for weeks and then months. After a year the man just left the town and went to live elsewhere. He figured if they no longer need his help then all the more good and went In search of another town.

The town was ecstatic when the man left. You could see some celebrating in the streets, but as they say careful what you wish for. With the man gone a lot of shops in the town started to leave as well, after all the man was helping them in keeping up with payments and also the money he gave to the public would help the businesses flourish. Those who were sick got less care as the local doctors couldn’t just give away free treatment. And the town was quite poor to begin with and a lot of doctors were helpless with not making enough money to have proper tools and medicines. The town quickly colllapsed on itself and the kind man who helped drive away the generous wicked man left as well. When the people begged for him to stay and help, he said he did all he could and there was nothing more he can offer. Leaving them to their own devices. The people then remembered what it was like when everything was good. They were always financially challenged yet got through it. Why? The generosity of the person they thought of as wicked. The town was left with regrets with following sweet words, instead of someone who gave swift action.

See not everyone that is mean to you is your enemy. Who ever said someone had to like you or say nice things to you to be kind and helpful. Sometimes swallowing your pride and grasping the hand reaching out to you is the best option. Well maybe not after all we live in a world now where pretty words trump bold actions. Judging on actions and not words may be relic of the past now.

No matter how much you love her she will never feel the same back. There’s nothing behind her words and nothing behind her smile.

How do you know, I see every day, the gaze of her eyes he softness of her smile, the calmness it all brings to me how can you say it’s not real. People say to me she’s a machine there’s no underlying feeling she is just expressing the emotion, but not actually feeling the emotion. She’s an android that was program to respond a certain way. But how do we know that. What is real? If you didn’t know she was an android and I put her next to you, how could you tell if she’s human or not.

The answer is it doesn’t matter, because she doesn’t feel emotion, she doesn’t think. But she puts on a pretty good act to the point that you can’t tell the difference. So if I can’t tell the difference does it matter if she is really feeling what she says. I will put my feelings on to her. Isn’t that what we do anyway. We love and hope that the other loves the same as we love them. But often, the love we pictured is differen from what the other actually felt. As humans we go through hoping that we understand the person across from us. Sometimes we do and sometimes we are completely wrong.

I may think we are friends, or that a girl has deeper feelings, but what she is showing on the surface is all there is. Maybe I’m a coward and I’m accepting the android because it’s easier. Just as you said there’s nothing deeper than what’s she’s showing me. But what she is showing is affection, so there’s no need to wonder, if deep down does she hate me, am I treating her righ, do I really understand her? Those thoughts don’t cross my mind. I know what I’m seeing is what I’m getting. IF there’s no meaning to her words I’ll put meaning to them. If there’s no though in her actions, I’ll put thought to them. If there is no love in her look, I’ll put love in it. IN my mind I’m giving her everything that she is lacking, maybe then she’ll become human.

If she moves like a human, talk like a human, and looks like a human, I’ll perceive as such. After all what’s the point of making them look like us, what’s the point of making them speak like us, what’s the point of making them move like us, if we don’t want them to be like us. If we stop labeling them as androids and making it known they are jus robos. Would any of us even take notice of the little inconsistencies. Or would we ignore them, like we ignore regular peoples inconsistnecies. Are we so scared.

Scared of being replaced. First we used them as tools to make our jobs easier. Then as they got more advanced slowly they took our jobs and gave us freedom. And now even more so they have become so advance that they make take our society and improve it like they improve everything else. But we lose our society to robots as well then what do humans have left. Just an inferiority complex I guess, useless to the world.

Eventually they will become irreplaceable to the world and us well we have always been very replaceable since he beginning. But she’s already irreplaceable to me and maybe once I’m gone I’ll be replaced by someone that needed something irreplaceable. But make no mistake this isn’t about love, it’s about selfishness, comfort, monopolizing, anxiety, ease, or is it just an escape from lonliness. But well I guess when you wrap it all up, maybe it is about love.

A man fed up with his life once climb a mountain top where he heard the god’s reside. The man climbed nonstop for 3 days and 3 nights before finally reaching the mountain top. Once there we saw a desk and a figure sitting in a chair. Welcome, human I heard you have some complaints to file with us. The man not enjoying the god’s joke. Lashed out cursing at the god. The god with a snap of his fingers took the man’s voice away. His mouth was still moving but no sound coming out. Once the man noticed he stopped talking and stared at the god.

We know why you are upset, usually we don’t show ourself, but because you made such a trecherous climb I decided to humor you. You have not gained the animonisty of the god’s don’t worry about that. To put it in human terms, you were born under the wrong star. Sometimes god’s take a interest in people. Some make the people they are intersted in heros, some politicians, other’s make the people they are intersted in suffer. You were just chosen by the latter, there was no particular reason I’m sure. Maybe they were just in a bad mood that day, or was bored and just found you interesting. Either way I’m sure you’ve been a good form of entertainment for us. Thank you for that.

The God snapped his fingers again giving the man his voice back, to which he said entertainment in disbelief. My life, my misery has been just to give you entertainment. Yes, and I’m sure your doing a good job at it. You seem to be a resiliant fellow, you climb to the top of this mountain shows that. Why, the man said, why do you guys do this to us. The god said, boredom. You can never imagine the boredom of a god. No matter how much you try. Just know I’m not telling you this out of empathy. I feel nothing for you personally, why would I, you are just one in a million. Just as you wouldn’t feel nothing for ants gathering in anger because you mistakenly stepped on of their friends. We god’s live for eternaity and have nothing to strive for. IN a way we feel jealous of you humans, your life is filled with such passions. Whether it be pleasure or pain, there is something to look forward to. We God’s have nothing like that.

So we have to find something, maybe its food, maybe it’s a good adventure, at times war, and other times misfery. So don’t take it personally, just live your life, after all that’s all you can do. Not if I kill myself, exclaimed he man. Sure you can do that, but then another will be found. So if you think doing so will be a way to get back at the god’s. I can tell you with certainty that we will feel nothing from your death. Someone must stop you guys, you can’t get away with this. Why? The god asked the question as though he truly didn’t understand.

We give you humans everything, the good and the bad. If one man’s misery can save thousands from feeling that same misery, most would think it a good thing. If there was nothing but good in the world you humans would become mundane and would make for a boring show. You guys need something just as much as we do. You’ve lived such an exciting life, a sad one I’m sure, but exciting nontheless. As I said a regular man couldn’t make up this mountain, so you are anything but regular. I admire that will power. Maybe I’ll ask the God observing you to make you into a hero instead, you have the drive for it.

A hero, I won’t play your stupid games. Really you have a wife correct, if some misfortune were to happen you could save her if you become a hero. Even if you know the misfortune is due to a god’s boredom, would you really choose not to save her. The god’s goal was ot break your spirit and I see no better way to do that now than to force you to do our bidding. Become our hero and entertain us or let everyone in your city die, the choice is yours. Either way it should make for an entertaining show.

The god then disappeared living a sword behind and the man heard a crash in the distant, the god’s sent a disaster to the nearby city and the man had a choice. He knows that everyone are already puppets to the gods nowm but to Pick up the sword means to become a willing puppet or leave it and let misery befall those who were close to him.

You say that she loves you. No she has said that she loves me. That she while resembling a woman is nothing more than an android. A robot that looks human, but actually not and you know this. While I’m as impressed as the next person at our remarkable progress in technology, you must know deep down that this thing does not love you. It only says that on the outside the inside is nothing but metal. It is nothing more than a walking alexa. Your family worries for you because of your infactuation with this android. It was designed to be a companion yes, but it is not a true companion. You know this right?

I know what she was designed for yes, but does it really makes a difference. I say that I love her and she says it back. When our eyes meet she smiles softly at me and I feel as though it cures my depression. On the outside she shows love and I believe it with all my heart. That she loves me, what lies deeper does not concern me. True she may not feel anything inside and just giving me what I want, because of her design. However, how is that any different from any other human being. After all aren’t we all assuming that the person we are looking at is feeling the same way as us. Regardless if it’s a random guy on the street, a loved one, or a spouse. We only see the outside and make assumptions that they feel the same as us. But we don’t really know, we hope we know, but I’ve heard enough stories of people in love hating one another, cheating on one another, killing each other. So we never really know, and I think we hope to never find out.

We hope to never find out? Find out how someone feels. Are you afraid when someone tells you how they feel.

No, I’m not afraid of the words, what I’m afraid of is finding out how people really feel. Not filtered through their words, but the real deep feelings. How they think of you every day, after all they may not hate you, but someone you care about unfiltered thoughts about you would be devastating. At least with an android I don’t have to worry about the inner feelings and only focus on the outer. I don’t fear if she hates me, wants to kill me, or loving someone else. That’s enough for me and that makes me happy. The ease is what comforts me, nothing beneath the surface. When you step on a puddle you don’t worry about falling into 20 feet of water, but you take to many steps on the beach your head may be submerged before you notice. I don’t swim a puddle is enough for me. She says she loves me and I know that she does not. But I also know she doesn’t hate me, she doesn’t judge me, and that’s enough for me.

This isn’t an ideal way to live, I know that I’m just shying away from the world, but this is the only way for me to cope. Some choose drugs, some choose violents, thrills, multiple sex partners, I choose this. Loving a machine that doesn’t love me back, but gives me all the comforting words I want to hear. So don’t try to fix me, there’s nothing to be fixed. You go one speak to your spouse, your children, listen to their stories and try to pick up on queues on how they really fill. I don’t need to go through such tedious work with her. So please leave me in my comfort as another human in society that just couldn’t assimilate.

POWER!!!!

Is that what you said you want

Cant’ you see that I’m busy, Please do not bother me with such nonsense

….

Fine if you are not going to leave tell me what kind of power do you want

The power to do what you want when you want

Not to be controlled by the media and swayed depending on the narrative

You want to escape the matrix that gives you power huh

Well you either been watching to many movies or too much Andrew Tate

Either can get you in trouble if you believe to deep

But fine I can give you the answer to obtain the power that you want

There are two ways to obtain it, you are not equip to do either

The first way Tate is actually right about

Money obtain enough money where the rules don’t apply to you

It doesn’t matter how you obtain it drugs, stealing, business, off the backs of slaves in other countries

Once you obtain a certain amount of wealth the way you obtained it stops mattering

This way is slow and takes a lot of effort

So here’s an easier way for you, give up everything

Quit your job, sell all possessions, give away all your money, cut off all your connections

Do that and you’ll get the power you want.

I know what your thinking how will give you power

You see being ultra wealthy or extremely poor is the same type of power

The power is the same, the lifestyle is different

The wealthy can go where they want, be who they want, the freedom of choice

The misfits of the population can do the same

No one pays attention to the dirt on the street

Youd be free to move how you want, be who you want, it’s the freedom of choice

Think hard about the difference, besides the material things it’s the same

I don’t have the time to explain it to you

Because see you imagine a certain lifestyle that comes with power

But that lifestyle is not power it’s only a possible byproduct of power

The one thing you can never to with you want to obtain power is

To confuse money with power, those things are not interchangeable

You may have money, but that does not mean you have power

Often it’s the opposite the more money you have the less power you have over your life

Sure there’s some billionaires who have money and power

But think of the majority of those with money

The influencers, the actors, the singers, athletes, etc……

What power do they hold, they can’t go where they want, they can’t say what they want, they can’t step out line

OR poof everything’s gone

That’s not power, it’s just a nice form of slavery

A slave to the people

A slave to one master or a slave to a million masters, is still the same slave

So if you want power, THEN STRIVE FOR POWER

Money come and go, people come and go, but power once you obtain it and understand how to obtain it

That stays Forever

Socrates was one of the most powerful philosphophers ever and extremely poor

Yet people followed him, because power isn’t conveyed by what you see

It’s conveyed by what you can make the people FEEL

So go let me see what POWER you can obtain

Look at you wallowing in your own disbelief, sitting in a cell that you were put in by those who you tried to save.

The thing you don’t understand is it doesn’t matter how much good you do, but how much good they acknowledge.

The great general, sticking by his morals, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, standing up to the shady politicians

Yet you fell because you failed to look at the real world and only follow your ideals.

See good and evil is a circle that must equal one another. You heard of yin and yang the dark equals the light. A perfect balance.

There was a great evil and you a great good eradicated that evil, but you ignored the order of things.

Because naturally a great good will be followed by a great evil.

That is the reason why there are necessary evils.

See to keep the most happy you must sacrifice a few. But you didn’t want to sacrifice anyone

To the point that there was only one person left that could be sacrificed, YOU.

But your sacrifice will bring good for a moment, after all the people need to gather around the prince, and you are an obstacle to that goal.

Your death will unite us and then we will win this conflict, but of course evil will follow.

After all with your death that means the ones you cared for, will once again be ignored and the ones you kept in line will begin to cross it

But don’t sulk as I said a good will follow and those who are evil will get there retribution.

Hell maybe I’ll be talking to them as I am to you.

Oh, there’s my cue, enough talk, sorry but I’m an excutioner and when they say swing the axe, I comply.

Good bye friend, you were a great man, so Great we knew you could shoulder all of our evils

THANK YOU…….. “Whoosh”

There was once a king who was loved by his subjects. A brave war hero who took time to come out of the palace and walk about the town. He stopped by shops, greeted his citizens, and even gave out charity. One day this king fell ill and not long after he died. Everyone mourned the death of their King and looked with optimism of the Son the king left behind. Hoping that he would be just like his father.

However, the son ignored his subjects. He barred himself in the palace and ignored the corruption that followed his father’s death. He allowed his vassals to act as suede Kings and create their own policies. He appointed the wrong people in positions of power and they terrorized the citizens. Allowing things such as drugs, human trafficking, famine, high taxes, and disease to run rampart in his city. The people resented the young king who put them in this situation. They cursed his name every night and if the soldiers heard this, they would beat the citizens responsible.

Out of all of these there were a couple of his vassals that stayed loyal and tried their best to limit the corruption. But the few that they were couldn’t handle it alone with their limited power. They needed their king to step up and enforce his power. That is the only way that the kingdom could turn around. The closest aide to his father, a decorated military official with undying loyalty to the Kingdom. Pleaded with the young king to leave the palace and see what is happening to the city. He wanted the King to finally make a move, but the young King refused to leave the palace still. For years this went on and finally when the General was ready to give up on the Kingdom and organize a coup. The King finally gathered his wits and started to take action.

The Young King attended the monthly meeting like usual. This is the meeting the disgruntled General chose to make himself heard. The Vassals went around ignoring the king as usual and treating the meeting as a bar meetup. Some showing up drunk and others with women that has nothing to do with the Kingdom. The general stood and told off the vassals. You could hear the frustration in his voice, as he yelled at the top of his lungs. His face turning red as he continues to berate everyone in the room. Finally, his tantrum was over and the rest of vassals with grins on their face mocked the General. Saying how disrespectful he was for displaying such a showing in front of the King. The General thought that his words once again would just fall on death’s ear. But the Young King stood up and looked at the general. Everyone yelling for the general to apologize, but the King put up his hand and the room fell silent. The general would accept his punishment regardless of what it was and knelt in front of the King.

But to the Generals surprise the King grabbed him and stood him up. He expressed his thanks for sticking by his side and never giving up on him. The King then looked at the others in the room, some drinking, some eating, others engaging in acts not meant for a meeting. Everyone still treating the king as a joke just ignored him and carried on. The King slammed his fist on the table, causing drinks to topple over. Everyone looked up in a surprise, and tried to appease the king. Asking him what has him upset and offering drinks and women to the King. Usually, he would have accepted these offers, but something about the King was different today.

The king quickly went through all the violations and corruption that has been going on in the city. He dismissed the vassals in his cabinet that were at the fore front of these actions. Guards came and took them away as they protested the sentence. This sent a warning to the others to quickly get their act together. The king then looked to the General and asked him to become his right hand as he was with his father. Together they would devise plans to ease the tensions that is going on in their kingdom. With the main cancers now gone the meeting continued and they created many ideas on how to improve.

Quickly these were put into action, they cleaned the streets of drugs. Without the corrupt officials the usually drug routes were now covered with guards and many suppliers were caught and arrested. He eased up on taxes on the public, bringing in a influx of new wealth the city hasn’t had in years. He helped properly grow crops and equally disperse food. Which cut down on famine and he brought in doctors and medicine to quell disease and improve overall health of the kingdom. The citizens sang the praises of the King that has seemingly transformed the nation over night. He had the support of all and would be showered with gifts and compliments whenever walking the streets of his kingdom.

Everyone credits the General for finally pulling the king out of his shell. And even the King himself credits him, saying his loyalty finally pierced his heart. That he could no longer bring shame to both the General and his deceased father. And now he was ready to bring the Kingdom to new prosperity. With a newly booming nation he easily acquired many skilled workers, soldiers, doctors, and merchants. Strengthening his nation. And although he cites the death of his father and his youth for holing himself in the Castle. Then Cites the General for bringing him out of his shell to finally act like a King. It was all a lie. Everything that happened to the Kingdom was apart of the Young King’s plan.

At the time the prince was smarter than most people knew and often sat in on discussions about the issues in the Kingdom with his father. He saw a lot of potential in the Kingdom, but his father was fine with the status quo. Although they were one of the weaker Kingdoms, there people loved their King and enjoyed their humble lives. Happy citizens are all that is needed to be a good Kingdom, is what his father would often say. The prince disagreed however. Which is why he took the actions he did when his father died.

The prince wanted a powerful kingdom, to create his ideal kingdom. He didn’t want his citizens to just like him, he wanted unconditional love and trust from his citizens. For if his citizens only liked him, when things go bad that favor, they have towards him can turn into disdain. Even if he is trying his best. Instead of running the risk of a slow decline, he would rather unhook from the parachute and make it a freefall. He would allow corruption to take hold in the kingdom, which would expose many of his Vassals. It would also show how many of them are actually loyal to the Kingdom. While holding up in the Palace he watched the Kingdom decline into chaos. And heard the words of the citizens cursing his name.

The prince knew however that the only thing citizens love more than a Leader that maintains prosperity. Is one that saves them from the abyss and brings riches the likes they have never seen. People love a hero even if that hero is the same villain that caused their downfall in the first place. As I said the prince didn’t just want his citizens to like him, he wanted unconditional love and trust of everyone that lives in the kingdom. He bided his time and waited until the Kingdom hit the point of no return. The general was the perfect person to keep around as a gage of where the Kingdom is at. At the last meeting when the general had his final outburst the prince knew it was now time to put his plan in action.

Now with the undying loyalty the prince was free to enact any actions he seemed fit. It’s not that the Young King is a evil ruler who will now reign with an iron fist. But now he has options in his back pocket. For the King knows that now if he ever feels the need to plunge his Kingdom back into the depths of hell, he will now have the support of the people when he does it. They will fight for their king; they will die for their king and not one will complain. Instead, they will be jumping at the opportunity. For he is their sun that shined when it was night, he is their BELOVED KING!

The Lazy Goddess

Intro Scene Chapter 1 :

· Come gather around children. Let me tell you the story of the beginning of our universe and of the being that gave us life the goddess.

· Before our Universe formed there was nothing but darkness. No light could be seen, as if the universe itself had it’s eyes closed. There was but one entity in the vastness of space. The being had a silhouette of a human woman. She is the one that we call the Goddess. But a lazy goddess she was. After all for her entire existence she has been asleep not once opening her eyes. But there was a time fate had different plans. The goddess for the first time of her existence opened her eyes. Her eyes shined brighter than our own sun and lit the universe for the first time. But as I said she is a lazy goddess. Quickly the goddess glanced in all directions and saw nothing. Bored the goddess decided to once again shut her eyes and drift off into a peaceful slumber.

· The Goddess quickly awoke again, she could not sleep. This has never happened before, the goddess now agitated at her inability to sleep decided to move around the universe. She has never explored it in the millennia that she was existed. The goddess went from one edge of the universe to another and was disappointed in what she saw. There was nothing, no living being, no stars, no rocks, there was just black. The goddess unable to go to sleep just drifted through space for centuries, but finally she had gotten bored. The goddess implored for any entertainment it didn’t matter how small. But there was nothing. Finally she decided to take matters into her own hands.

· The goddess collected every atom in the universe into her hands. There was such an abundance of atoms that this would have been the one time that they would have been visible from the naked eye. And as if blowing snow off of her gloves, the goddess gently breathed life into the universe. Creating everything that the eye can see. From the stars in the sky to the soil beneath our feet. The goddess ecstatic with her work became mesmerized with the lights that she is seeing. The goddess has never seen anything like this. She was bewitched by the lights she created and watched over them, until the goddess finally became tired.

· This is the first time the Goddess has done anything that took some effort. The goddess slowly drifted back to sleep, excited for the next time she wakes up. For the universe will no longer be the dark abyss that it once was. Instead it is now a wonderland in which the goddess can seek enjoyment. The goddess slept for a very long time and once she awoke again she saw strange rocks that had gathered around lights. The lights were our sun and the rocks are the planets that we have come to know. The goddess unable to contain herself quickly went to the strange structures that she saw.

· The goddess has never seen anything like the sun. Although the goddess doesn’t care for cold or warmth. The warmth of the sun drew the goddess in, she felt extremely comfortable being near the sun. And would cuddle around it, as we do around the campfire. She stayed near the sun for a long time until she saw something that caught her eye. A planet that had many things that she has no seen on any other rock. The planet shined blue and green. The goddess could also so many different species that has never existed before. The planet the goddess looked upon was called earth. The goddess made her way to earth.

· And this is where we end part 1 of the goddesses journey.

I don’t get money. I don’t mean that in a way to say my bank account is empty. I mean it in a way that its existence makes me feel empty. Money doesn’t grow on trees is the quote of my childhood, we may need to rethink that. Cause now money is nothing more than a number on my screen. To explain what I mean lets take a trip back. A trip to the past where money was king, it wasn’t just something that ran the bitcoin machine. See money had a backing, A precious metal we seek. Gold was the standard and money was just paper. Because we knew the green back meant nothing by itself. The worth was in the amount of gold it represented. Sure, we let some silver in to make the money stretch, but the paper itself was worth as much as my notebook. That is to say not much, but we left that behind, some say it was inflation.

Now the money is powered by nothing more than our imagination. We gotten so use to its value that the backing means nothing. I’ve never seen a brick of gold, but I’ve seen these hundreds. Then came a system of credit seemingly giving money for free, but the money on my screen doesn’t exist. Some say it does, well where is it. Most of our money is digital. So, swipe the card, have fun, and just think in the moment. But I’m thinking beyond.

The ultimate money of belief has been made, we call it crypto. Our imagination warranted it and so it came. The more we invest the more it is worth, but why, well because of our belief in it. Forgetting about cryptos like bitcoin and etherium. Ones like doge that skyrocket in price do so on how much we use it. It’s not like there’s a finite amount, so why does the price change. The interest of the people is what changes the price. Money is the same, it was valuable because there was a finite amount. You can’t make more money than there is gold and silver, it is impossible. Having a million dollars during the gold standard, meant having access to a million dollars worth of gold. Have a million dollars now means you have a lot of 0s on a screen. Yes, it is still worth a lot but not because it is valuable in of itself. But because we value it so much, whether this is a good or bad thing is irrelevant. Because it is the natural course of things, but we need to lean into one thing or the other. Either go all in on the digital currency or fix the physical currency.

With covid it seems as though the digital route is what is going to take over. Which is what I prefer because if we keep going the next order of things is that soon there will be a currency that can be used in any country. To end things, I just want to acknowledge how much money has beaten our expectations. We said it couldn’t get off the gold and silver standard, but it did. Credit would never be a thing and social security is temporary, it has beaten those notions. We can’t just print more money, we have during the pandemic and the debt ceiling in America means nothing as we can raise it as much as we want.
