Mindfulness meditation will not wake you up

Mindfulness meditation will make you perform better.
Consistent practice will make you happier and more relaxed.
The corporate world uses it, bankers, CEOs, the military.
Mindfulness meditation is good for stress reduction and it improves your health.
Fewer days of sick leave, more optimism, better sales results.

However, 
mindfulness meditation will not wake you up from your social conditioning.
Mindfulness meditation will not make you question
the mad economic system in which you are living.
Mindfulness meditation will make you accept this system
and adjust to it, like the kids in a rough neighborhood.

The only difference between you and the kids in the rough neighborhood
is that you live in a gated community, in a rough world.
You don't know what is going on.
You don't want to know.
You don't care.
You are searching inside yourself.
