The Interest Prisoner
He doesn’t own freedom. He pays rent to banks, disguised as interest, just to stay locked in his own cage.

Metaphorical Narrative
Every month he slides envelopes through the bars of his cage. Not to chip away at freedom, but just to stay inside. The payments never touch the principal. They are pure penalties — rent to the banks for the privilege of imprisonment. He calls it ownership. In truth, he is an interest prisoner.
Core Insight
Paying only interest is not progress. It’s survival in disguise, a treadmill of extraction. The empire on paper hides the truth: the man owns nothing; the banks own him.
Identity Shift Tie-In
Sovereignty means refusing to pay for the privilege of captivity. It’s not about how big the cage looks, but whether you’re free outside it.
Saturday Experiment
List one area where you’re “just paying interest” — effort that maintains, but never frees. What small step would reduce the principal instead?
