The 21st century, without a doubt, is a kingdom for capitalism.  It is easy to swear and put the middle fingers up for the system,  however, it is utterly useless. 

As Herbert Spencer stated, If you can’t change the situation, adapt.

In this writing, Zekeriya the farmer will be inscribed.

Enrich the rich!

 Farmer Zekeriya Allegory

Zekeriya, who is a farmer living in Cha-cha land in 1721, is a humble person. He has 2 kids and a lovely wife. Zekeriya, by himself, earns his money from farming, specifically tomatoes. He has a stagnant earning of  2825 ZY coins. With that money, Zekeriya takes his family on vacation often and enhances the quality of the house they are living in.

One day, while Zekeriya was harvesting the tomatoes, one tomato caught his eye. He sliced the tomato in the half and saw a cross inside it. He was not confused or spiritually awoke by any sense, so he threw away the tomato and headed back to work.

Another day while he was reading a story to his kids, he thought that if there is another way to earn more money by doing his job. At that moment an astonishing idea appeared in his head.

He is going to use some of his income to expand the tomato farm. Even if it means fewer vacations for the family.

Zekeriya did what he thought and saw that the income increases steadily.

Zekeriya became exhausted working 7/24. At that moment, he needed a solution. So he started thinking again and felt more lively in the same proportion. Why?  Cogito, ergo sum.

The solution was simple, he would pay other workers to do his job while expanding his farm. The income he earns only went to the business he is vigorously created. Vacations with his family are not a thing for Zekeriya anymore, he is thirsty for unlimited expenditure.

A day chasing the other day, Zekeriya had hired 10 workers, build a logistic stream for other villages moreover protested other tomato farms for being sleazy. He learned from his experiences that a tomato farm needs a competitive market. Without competition, monopolies exist,  which is against the conditions of the tomato farm business.

The tomato business must be converted to a firm. That way Zekeriya’s ambition will be fueled.

After one fiscal year, Zekeriya did what he said – he is a man of his word -. The tomato farm he was working on now became the firm, Happy tomatoes!

With the money and status, Zekeriya has become the king on Cha-cha land. He doesn’t want to be the king in the first place. However, the purchasing power he had bought the old king’s heart. The king told him to do what the firm has the advantage over. If not, some other third brand called “Happy Fun tomatoes!” will earn the place he had to strive for years. Zekeriya will be so upset if that fake, cheap firm someday takes over his firm’s place. Unacceptable.

Zekeriya created a nightmare for human beings. The greed for more became the new normal in his village. The village’s new name is ”Cha-cha land PREMIUM Just For 0,99 ZY Coins’‘.

The village, then the country, then the world. Happy tomatoes!
