And because you don’t read. Forget what you could and should have read.
People can forget their rights if they are not educated about them, or if oppressive systems or governments do not allow them to exercise their rights. (oa)
“Don’t be afraid – if you don’t exercise your rights, you will lose them.”
Maria Ressa
In some cases, people may be unaware that certain rights exist, or may not have the means to access them. In other cases, people may be intimidated by oppressive systems and silence their voices, preventing them from exercising their rights. (oa)
AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.
Me: Within a society that worships usury, you’ll think it is a right, a duty, a blessing to be enslaved. Is that true and why would someone say that? Answer me in a poem.
ChatGPT (jan23):
In a world where usury reigns supreme, We’re enslaved by debt and money schemes. We think it’s right, a duty to obey, But it’s a curse that leads us astray.
We’re told it’s a blessing to be in debt, But it’s a trap that we can’t forget. We’re forced to work, our lives on hold, Our spirits broken, our stories told.
We’re told to worship at the altar of wealth, But it’s a false god that brings us ill health. We’re blinded by the promise of more, But it’s a trap that leaves us at the shore.
So let us break free from this usury chain, And reclaim our lives, our dignity regain. For true freedom lies not in wealth and gain, But in living life without usury’s stain.
Me: Do we forget our rights in a usury paradigmed time?
In usury’s grip, we lose sight
Of rights we once held dear and tight
We borrow and we pay the cost
Forgetting freedom we have lost
We toil and struggle day by day
Forgetting our rights along the way
But those who see through usury’s lies
Will rise up and reclaim the prize.
