The economy is an all-embracing game of power in which you play a pawn. You must work and spend your money according to the dictates of the game, as defined by those in power who control the game. Few people get to choose what, where, how or when they work. Few people choose how they'd like to live.

You have to work, because you have to get paid. You obey all the dictates in order to get paid. You've got to get paid in order to maintain a way of life to which you've been trained from the cradle. You work to rent a decent place of freedom away from your job, for entertainments to forget your job, and for a means of transportation to get back to your job again. Your whole life revolves around your job, which you fear and avoid, but need so badly. It seems you're locked into this way of existence. You've become a cog in the great machine. On and on your endless cycle goes. What sense does it make?

It's no fun being a pawn. You could try being a knight, bishop, rook, or even a king or queen, and feel that you have mountains of power over others. But even kings and queens, the leaders of government and big business, are just as controlled as the pawns. If you look up, way up into another dimension, you might be able to discern the hideous two-headed chess player itself, as it plays you with absolute cold indifference.

But you don't have to be a pawn in someone else's game. You have the perfect right and freedom to walk right off the game board!
