Well, because we have.
There could be many reasons why and people have their own ideas about this, personally I think it’s to do with the fact that the vast majority of us are a product of a state-run education system.
For the state it is much easier to have an economy of employees- with taxes deducted automatically and people keeping their head down just trying to keep their job and scrape by.
But the truth is it doesn’t really matter why it is.
What matters is that we get taught from day one to be an employee (just think of classroom dynamics v workplace dynamics) and never get taught the first thing about running your own business or controlling your life. It’s made to be this scary, risky thing that only rich people can afford to do.
It really isn’t.
Realising that we are being brainwashed to follow a certain path, is the first step to straying off that path and seeing what the forest has to offer. Come in, the forest is beautiful.
Hope that helps.
