- First Lie I can remember was Santa Claus is real

- Next lie was that school, grades and going to college was the most important thing ever

- Then they said to go to church and pay 10% otherwise you will burn in hell forever.

- Next lie, masturbation and sex before marriage are sins.

- Then they lied about how all women are beautiful and are special angels who are pure and FAR less evil than men.

- Next lie, women do not care about looks, its your personality and "confidence" that matters

- Then they told us that life revolves around consumerism and making our bosses rich

and the worst part of it all, is that millions of people are okay going around living these fake lies.

Go to school
Get a job
Work 40 hours per week
Have kids
Save for old age
Die

I don't think you can confirm or deny this one yet.

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in

Go to school


Don't simplify it to that.... Its the dream they sold you that you went to school to achieve.

You could be president, CEO, the nest bill gates..... Ha-ha no. Here's a low level management gig that pays less than many trades that you could have done without going 50k in debt

I think maybe you're jealous of people that are happier than you despite being so far beneath you.

- First Lie I can remember was Santa Claus is real

To me as a child he was real.

- Next lie was that school, grades and going to
college was the most important thing ever

At that particular time period in your life if they are treated as if they are your chances for success in life are greatly improved.

- Then they said to go to church and pay 10% otherwise you will burn in hell forever.

How do you know this is not true, you are still here among the living?

- Next lie, masturbation and sex before marriage are sins.

Within certain religious beliefs they are, you are not forced to participate.

- Then they lied about how all women are beautiful and are special angels who are pure and FAR less evil than men.

You probably made poor choices in women.

- Next lie, women do not care about looks, its your personality and "confidence" that matters

If this were not true, myself and a whole lot of guys would have never been able to find someone to marry.

- Then they told us that life revolves around consumerism and making our bosses rich

No one ever told me that, but it should be obvious that if a business owner cannot sell its product for a profit they will have little use for whatever talent you have to offer.

The Capitalistic System and the American dream produces nothing but:

- Envy.

- Greed.

- Severe Status Anxiety and also Social Anxiety
.
- Backstabbing

- Sociopathic behavior.

- Everyone for themselves.. "dog eat dog" nonsense.

- Depression

- No love, care, self sacrifice for your fellow man. Its all about ME.

- Arrogance, selfishness, insecurity and narcissism to the max. Hardly any humble people out there.

Coupled with feminism and the divorce court laws which bring out the absolute worst
in women, this world is headed to class warfare within the next 20 years.

When you have kids and tell them the exact same things, please report back here and apologize for your hypocrisy.
