Awakening Quote by Jeremy Limn
“So many people are living their lives out in an illusion. The illusion is that everything they know and perceive to be real isn't. The media isn't for the people, they operate solely for the corporations. Capitalism is the invisible slavery. I used to want to be rich. I now know that happiness doesn't derive from materialism. I'm a very erratic thinker. The point is I'm always awake and aware. I've been asleep like all of us because I've been distracted.”
