You Can Afford It
Subversive Uncle Frank
I hear that as an excuse for not claiming freedom almost every day. It is a false excuse. Everyone can afford to be free. It is playing by the enemy's rules of imprisonment that you sometimes can't afford.
The first rule of freedom is to realize what you need and what you want. You can have both, but you have to reject the brainwashing of the prison wardens. You have to recognize that freedom really is free.
Let's start with needs. You need the following to survive:
1. Food.
2. Shelter (in some climates).
3. Clothing (in some climates).
4. Human connections (people go insane and die without them).
5. A means of transportation.
All of those things are free. People freely feed the hungry in every major city in the world. Once you make contact with the population that use these services, you can find out where to go in other cities because many of these people travel.
Don't want charity? Me neither. The birds, animals and even the cockroaches don't need charity. Why should humans?
We don't. Once you get out of oppressive government control, you can easily fish, garden, and hunt for free.
Or you can engage in any skill set and trade what you create for food if you don't want to hunt, fish, harvest wild plants or garden. You can give massages, create natural crafts, offer your services as a tour guide, freelance write, teach English or any number of other things that almost anyone can do. Trade for food.
The same goes for clothing and shelter. First of all, if you are free... why choose a climate where you need clothing and shelter for protection? Head south. If your feet work, they are a free mode of transportation. If your thumb works, you have another mode of transportation.
If you want to get exotic, you can check any costal hostel and you will find listings for being crew on a boat. You can earn your transport by scrubbing decks and adjusting sails.
Outside of oppressive governments, you will find that the people are friendly and open. Human contact is always free. You just walk up to just about anyone outside of the areas of oppression and say "Hi" and they will be happy to talk to you.
I kept record once for six months when I lived in a beach town that was populare with tourists from all over the world. Every night, I would go to a beach restaurant to watch the sunset. There was a row of chairs facing west. I would sit down next to a random person from a random country and ask "Where are you from?" Every single night, I ended up talking to that person for at least a half hour. Not a single person excused themselves. Human contact is free.
Everything you need is free. If God (or whatever you believe in) dresses the birds in spendor, houses the coyote and feeds even the lowest creepy crawly things on earth, then surely He will provide for your needs.
Everything you want is also available. You just have to help someone else get what they want and they will help you get what you want.
Find someone who has what you want and ask them how they got it. It's that easy. Remember that people outside of oppressive regions are friendly and will be more than happy to tell you how to get what you want.
I know I will. Go ahead and ask me how to get what you want if you know that I have already achieved getting that thing. I'll be happy to tell you how to get what you want. People love to help other people achieve what they want. I'm no exception.
