We are all being trapped inside economy world model with no escape

Economy is people behaviour, where all people want to get the best thing selfishly and satisfied for that. It can be viewed as a model of the world. You can also view this world as a religious world model where people give and receive, and where people do good will be repaid with good, do bad will be repaid in bad. If you are not repaid now, not because the model is wrong, but just the time not right yet. You can also view this world as a natural gift world model, where everything is created by god and we should appreciate the nature, have a peaceful mind.

But when I accessed into economy world model, I found that I can hardly switch back to natural gift world model, where you view tree as tree, and buy thing just because you want it. I think so much about the reason behind and how things interconnect. There are always so much things lingering in my head and it is hard to have peace.

I thought about why bus fare is charge like that, I thought about why supermarket grocery pricing is different from place to place, how much is the profit and cost structure behind each goods, how is every supply chain part earn their profit, and which part of the supply chain earn the most and why, how is a change in price affect others, why things happen and how it affect others.

Although a lot of questions still remain mystery to me, but until now the most furious thing I found is every seller will always non stop thinking about how to make the most profit from the consumer by studying the consumer behaviour and try to make fool of the consumer. They made us their experiment mouse when we walk into their shop. Although most consumer are smart and will shop for things they feel worth. But seller always making illusion to buyer that the thing they sell is worth more than its price. Consumer never know they always pay the highest possible price, consumer never know they are always led by some illusion or force created by the seller to pay for a much higher price version of thing with a little negligible thing/value added on, every time, unconsciously.

The most furious thing is most consumer never know they are being trapped inside the economy model played by the seller, the government, the ruler. They have far more information that we consumer do. Even if you know, there is no escape.
