| “The people who say that money is the root of all evil usually don’t have any” ~ boiler room Well, that’s true to a degree, the people who have it still aren’t happy b/c they want more of it. “Greed is good” ~ wall street How much is truly enough? There’s really no limit. The problem is when people have it and rub it into the faces of the people who don’t. They confuse there wealth (regardless of how they attained it) as the indicator of their worth as a human being. Those are the people that carry a picture of their house or car in their wallets. The people who make you cringe whenever they open their mouth. However, I enjoy being around people like that, they amuse me. I’ve been on both sides of the fence with that issue, and yes, I was/am an arrogant asshole when things were going my way. Oh well, live and learn I guess. But I have learned over the last year and a half that I am not the car I drive, I am not the money in my bank account or 401k plan. I was rescued from Salvador dali, Rolex watches, hypo allergenic designer soap and recycled environmentally safe toilet paper with forest green stripes. The retro orange glass vase with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof it was crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of wherever. Saved from making the decision of what living room set’s best defines me as a person. ~ “The above was slightly plagiarized from fight club” ~ “ Oh honey, I think the solid oak cabinets with platinum hardware will go just lovely with the Italian marble floors and accent our designer cookware that’s on display for everybody to see just who the fuck we are. |

| The things you own, they end up owning you. The liberator who destroyed my property has re-aligned my paradigm of perception. I reject the basic assumptions of civilization, including material possession. You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the shoes you wear. You are not the contents of your wallet... Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat! It's not a seminar! You have to forget everything you know, everything you think you know, about life, about friendship, about you! "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are all part of the same compost heap." economic collapse is One step closer to global equilibrium |
