Never an easy subject.
It is always better to be the one with the money I guess.
Reverend Run of RunDMC made a great quote during an episode of his awful reality show.
It was the following...
" A man who buys a corvette is in a mid life crisis.
A man who buys a Lamborghini has no crisis at all"
Now, there is a lot to that quote.
That is saying that someone who has an enormous amount of money, no matter what there problems my be, is fine.
I have a problem with that rationale. That type of thinking is what is killing this country.
I do believe that once a certain amount of money is made and preserved, that the rest just does not matter. You will end up doing something stupid and unnecessary and possibly risk losing it all.
People are never content. There is always a better job, better mate, better place to vacation.
As Crosby Stills and Nash said, "love the one you're with".
Just be happy with who and what you have. Be happy with who you are. Be happy with what you are doing right now. That is the key. There is no purpose on this earth other then to enjoy the beauty of life right now.
Buddhists say, if your job is to dig a ditch, take pride in that ditch. Make it the best fucking hole anyone has ever dug.
If people would take pride in everything they do, we would have a much better place to live.
Instead we live among a bunch of hedonistic, narcissistic, ignorant people.
Wow, I sound angry, but I am really not at all. I am sad that people do not have the capacity on an ongoing basis, to be happy.
That is all for now.
