Ya know, that is exactly how I was raised. “If you want a nice home with a nice car and a nice family in a nice town, then you need a good job. A good job is only found after you go through college.” I’m honestly afraid to graduate from college and enter the Kosmos knowing that the system is failing…I mean honestly, at this rate, there won’t even be a system by the time I graduate! And what then…? All those years in school would’ve been for naught. So much time wasted on homework and studying for school when it could’ve easily been used to study the Word and grow in Christ! To focus on outreach rather than GPA’s, to work towards maturity rather than to work towards a degree. There it is….right there. Maturity via Kosmos is seen by degrees and economic status…it’s really an eyesore once the eyes have been opened.

That really is shocking. Kids are in such a naive position. Everyone just seems to go along and say “yes this is the natural” or something when this isn’t like it was at all before. I could never have amassed that kind of debt when I was in school. How do you prepare for $100K debt when you don’t really understand what bills and expenses are and haven’t even had a full time job with benefits that makes $35-40K/year? That’s a heavy load to bear. Hopefully people are struck by it and decide to follow Christ. Those who don’t probably get more hardened and even sinister since they have been raped by the system.

This really does suck. To buck this system in any way results in a real backlash from society. Once you have someone chained to making money, you win! This loan issue is even worse when tied to the intentional indoctrination at the university level. It is a dangerous and seductive world we live in. How much more urgent it becomes for young adults to be redeemed by the Lord before they either get captured and enslaved by this system or completely buy into it. We need a…REVOLUTION.

This is exactly how it is Keith. Just stay in line Brian, don’t even think of not going to college. Oh, you can’t afford it? That’s okay. You can pay later. What a deal, he thinks! Too bad it will cost his soul. Forever railroaded into the next thing… houses, cars, etc… We gotta break out of this system invented by Satan and get with the Jesus revolution!

Hopefully Brian was lucky and only had college loan debt – what about those poor sods who have car loans, mortgage payments, medical expenses and then the cost of raising a child. Perhaps Brian got off easy.

When I look to the future and the futilty of building false security in this world – I get a real hankering for some land in the country, large enough to farm – for man is to toil in the earth (hehehe). But then this is just another diversion, huh?
