In modern society, we are faced with certain markets that control the vast majority of power and influence. These markets play a large role in our lives whether we like them or not. No matter how hard we try to hide, or how far we try to run, in order to escape these mega powers, it would require an act more drastic and life altering.
Why is it that these markets are infused into every facet of our lives? Our religion doesn't just give us means to be closer to god, or some other higher being, but it educates us on the facts (based on medieval accounts) of this world and its natural surroundings. Our race and class afford us, or cost us, positions that would have greatly improved the overall material quality of our lives. How much I would give to get that dang couch for my room!
Money dictates every decision we make. It forces us to experience, not what we want to experience, but what we can afford to experience. Our overall health is subject to the monetary funds we have at our dispense. We are lured into the multifaceted trap that is the Fast Food Industry, by the basic principle that time is money. These noble providers, who give us food that is actually worth 60 cents, attract us with their easy, cheap options that drain the locomotive beauty from society. People are no longer able to interact with joy. They are forced to speed through time, with an utter lack of disregard for the clock on the wall.
We need to control the forces which bear down on us. If we are going to hold the burden of some external greedy culprit, let it at least be our fathers who play that role. Our lives are in our hands, if we wish to hold them tight enough. We control the market (our mind) that presides over our physical realm, and our internal relation to self. The time is clearly upon us to start developing this market.

One can only be in control of a market if the value they gain from the item is fluctuated by their own free will. To do so is disattachment from consumption. That which is needed is always available. That which is wanted is what controls our mind. Do not "mark to market" your consumption. Rise above the fray.
the only time i know it "T TIME!" LOL and it always costs money! its true the way our world is now people associate time or waiting to money. what else could i be doing right now? its all opportunity cost. taking control is the key here and assessing personal value to something that is interpreted differently. it really depends on different people with and their contrasting views. not everyone thinks logically, unfortunately.
