At one point, I think we all come to a place in our lives where we are forced to decide what a "successful" life entails so that we may align ourselves to that marker. I think I did this long ago, and that may be a problem....you see, I am not a very responsible person....not in the way that many would consider...I never have aligned myself to the popular perceptions of the world and the way it should be, or for that matter, the popular perceptions of what "success" means within it.
(just a little FYI: I hate money. I believe it is the worst thing to have ever diseased our planet. I hate the whole concept Anyone who knows me knows this and has probably been witness to one of my "fuck money" rants, but for those for you that haven't , here goes: strap yourselves in...oh yeah...if you do not approve of the wonderful word "fuck"... I would suggest you stop reading here...I go off for a bit on a great little "anti-money rant" here for the rest of this blog posting...and I tend to swear alot when approaching this subject...just an FYI...)
Fuck money. Fuck the fact that people starve because they don't have it. Fuck the fact that money gets in between people that would normally love and cherish each other. Fuck money because it controls us all. Fuck it all to hell. Fuck the fact that we live in a world of liars and thieves because of this world system, who usually hold power over the rest of us because of their ability to control others. You cant fault them you know, we instigate this behavior as a society...we condone it...it's the only way to get ahead. This system of profit requires us to take advantage of each other. Fuck the fact that millions die every year because they do not have the income to pay for their medications or the treatments that would ultimately save their lives, and fuck a world that allows these things to take place.
So, my question is this: what is a measure of success when money is your enemy?...and should money be any measure of success in the first place? It has never been for me. I have concentrated instead on building the relationships with the people around me, the people who mean something....who have always been there. I concentrate instead on self expression...to try to show the world what it could be if we all just decided that it could be. I concentrate on trying to be a good example for my son, a living example, and not a hypocritical one if I can help it.
Here's a great question....
What if everything was free? Imagine that. Money didn't exist. If you need something, go get it. Would that be so bad? A resource based economy worldwide.
just a thought.....
ok.....I feel better now.....thanks for reading.
