Persistent pleas come from people who are so unhappy with the way things are that they endlessly ask: “Don’t we need a new economic system?” People who want more tend to say “Yes!”
More prosperous people tend to answer in the negative when asked “Don’t we need a new economic system?” They don’t want to lose what they have.
Those who answer “Yes.” to questions like “Don’t we need a new ec0nomic system?” rarely remember all the “new” economic systems that have been tried. They never recall that no economic system in history has worked well enough to keep people in it from asking: “Don’t we need a new economic system?”
The fact is, we should be asking “Isn’t the most important thing I can do is save my soul? Wouldn’t I rather have endless joy than eternal agony? It is smart to spend the lessening time left to me in thinking about silly things like, “Don’t we need a new economic system?”
After we get our own priorities straight, we should encourage those around us to start worrying about saving their souls.
We should be too busy with these vastly more worthwhile issues than to join one of history’s biggest throngs of lemmings, those who ask plaintively in every generation, questions similar to: “Don’t we need a new economic system?”
Those hyper-sensitive souls who go around asking “Don’t we need a new economic system?” should be answered with “Not as much as we need to have our immortal souls live in joy forever.”
