We are trapped if you really think about it
Most humans are just trying to stay busy
Your frustration
Your tiredness
Your despair
Your confusions
Your uncertainties
Are all part of the way of discovery.
Imagine what humans spend their time doing on this planet.
Imagine all the money and resources and innovations and discoveries that go on around you.
Imagine all the times you could just surrender to the way things have been made to be and just allow your heart to rest.
You pass through several routes till you discover your unique identity.
While they may not look like it, you’d still need to pass through them to find just you.
And when you reach that point where nothing else makes sense, you’ll realize that most humans are just trying to stay busy, masking the real questions in their hearts.
A preacher once said, “Humans marry, humans work, and humans do business.”
If you look at that from a certain perspective—especially when you step out of the matrix—you’d see it as if a giant genie, with all the power and time in his hands, just wanted to have some fun, so he created all of this for his amusement.
Delayed gratification now looks like a key ingredient that keeps us pursuing something. The rule is simple: “Keep the end goal out of reach so they remain occupied.”
Have you ever visited a prison?
Why do you think prisoners are often given labor and work shifts during their sentences?
Some reasons are to instill discipline, but many are simply to help the prisoners remain sane. If they woke up daily to just stare at their cell walls, they could lose their minds—go rogue, fight, cause trouble, and disturb the warders.
So, they give them tasks to keep them busy.
This world is like our cell.
We are trapped if you really think about it.
I mean, can you leave this reality to see what lies beyond it? Of course not. So, we’re trapped in the maze, and all we have is our mind.
We work, eat, survive, and pray to avoid losing our sanity.
That’s why even the super-rich never stop chasing money, despite having more than enough.
If you think you’ll stop chasing money once you have plenty, you’d be surprised. One breakthrough motivates the next. One achievement pushes you to climb even higher.
Until you become so wealthy that you start seeking other realms beyond Earth. It’s not really about caring for Earth’s extinction—you simply need something to keep doing because you can’t wake up every day and stare at the ceiling.
So, if you hear someone say they want to pause certain things in life until they make lots of money, advise them that that point never comes.
This is why God was equated with Mammon—because money and achievement can perfectly substitute for God in our lives.
The constant pursuit will keep you so engaged that you won’t realize life is slipping away until you’re on your deathbed, reflecting that you spent your life chasing money without truly understanding why.
Imagine if you didn’t have to work for money—what would you be engaged in?
Life becomes meaningless when we pause and think outside of the maze.
Only the One who created all of this can give it meaning.
