Side thoughts...

I don't think common wage earning types 'love' money as they love want money can do, how money can bring ease of life.

Things cost...moving costs, fuel costs, food costs, and you still have to save money for retirement, unless you want to live under a bridge.

Money also buys freedom, freedom from whatever one might feel in bondage to. That bondage could be a unpleasant job, work environment, neighborhood, housing and more.

You can't do anything these days without money.

Want to move across the country?...it takes lots of money. One move of 1000 miles is going to cost at least $2000.00
And that's not including moving into new place, rent deposit and other utilities.

And all the time you're getting older, weaker and more frail.

The more money you have, the more things you can get accomplished in life while in good life.
And that's the key, is getting things accomplished while in decent health, and cheer of mind.

Money is freedom...and many would instantly change their lives if they had but enough surplus funds to do so.

Many would quick jobs tomorrow, move away from undesirable situations, pay down bills, ect if suddenly came into a lot of surplus money.

Money is simply a tool which allows one movement.

If things didn't cost money, than money would not be desired...

If you could just get up and move, for free, not have to pay for gas, or rent, than many would change situations in a heart beat, but do to lack of surplus coins most remain stuck in undesirable situations.

And if in a undesirable situation long enough, depression can set in.

One enthusiasm towards life and the future can be dampened.

Working hard doesn't get you rich, unless you're getting paid a huge salary.


Huge salaries are what make you rich, not working hard.

(I doubt you ever heard it put that way before.

An example of this is college football athletes vs NFL football athletes...

College football players play just as hard on the field, but don't get paid a dime to do it.

NFL athletes play hard, and get paid millions...

So it's not the effort, it the pay, that gets you ahead.

(Although with athletics the hard effort will put you in position to get high pay)..

Anyways, it's late, time for bed...

I hate to let go of today, cause you never know when the day you let go of, could be your last...

Feeling a bit restless right now...

Could spend the rest of my useful life trying to get rich...(which will never happen), or be content with living a poor modest income life, but without stress, and just being content in other things.

Like living in a paid for RV...working a modest paying job, and just living 'rich' in other ways, like through relationships, hobbies ect.

This trap of 'Oh, if I just work hard enough, some day I'll be as rich Donald Trump' is a farse.

And you waste time and energy just pumping all your money back into the system, and are always near broke trying to get rich....always under the illusion 'Well If I just work a bit more harder'...as your body and mind begins to wear out, soon you can't work at all and your broke...all your life's efforts down the drain just to end up broke anyways.

The 'system' is big...it will swallow up you, and your money, and efforts, and not even blink.

You can't ever satisfy it, not through regular labor type work.

People who get rich usually develop a product, and mass sell it, or are simply paid super large salaries.

Like CEO's getting paid $8 million a year for a regular work day...they work no harder than a manager of 7 Eleven...yet ones paid millions, the others paid just barely above the poverty line.

So hard work has nothing to do with it...it's job title and salary that matters.

A CEO who earns millions can't say they worked any harder than someone running a sandwich shop.

The CEO simply or complexly, followed a different career path, which put them in contact with 'the right people in the right industry' who pay big.

Sorry, but someone earing $11.50 an hour, could or would have to work 500 years to earn that type of money...and most humans are good for about 30-40 years of labor before the body gives out.



At 11.5 an hour, one would have to work 35 years to make a bit over a million dollars...and pay no other bills...

But by the time you take away taxes, and other bills...which eat up around 70% or more of ones income...$200,000 is what one could possible save over 35 years at 11.5 an hour.
But even that's unrealistic...cause people consume, we're always buying and consuming.

In order to get ahead, you have to make well and above the cost of living, and your own personal spending habits.

And people with families, medical bills, ect, just can't, don't, save that type of money.

But if someone gives you 8 million all at once...you're now instantly decades, 5 life times, centuries, ahead of your cost of living...and that's how the wealthy stay wealthy...cause the amounts of money they get all at once soars them life times ahead of everyone else.

Not saying that's evil or bad, just saying it's unfair to expect a low end wage earner to be able to compete with that.

And or to always be measured against that.

But many are, as such many always feel inadequate...trying to live up to Trumps riches, or other celebrities or Pro Athletes who earn their money by getting paid large sums at once...millions for a movie, millions for a sports contract ect.

But when they loose that money, and have to earn it like the rest...they never get it back...and then and only then realize how lucky they were to get paid such large salaries.

It's their salaries, not their effort, that made them rich.

Ones value to a team or movie studio or company...and value is 'subjective'.. to those who can afford to pay others millions.

The older you get, the more you realize this.

You can work your but off, and never be noticed, and remain income poor forever.

Or you can be a slouch, graduate college with D average, and first pay check is 5 million.

So many variables...

That's why, in order for life to have quality...I think one has to focus on other non monetary quality things like environment or relationships.

Cause this 'Oh, you to can be a millionare if you just work harder' nonsense, will cheat you out of a decent life...

And is what companies like to tell low end employees, just to squeeze more labor out of you, them...

Good day....

Soon you begin to realize that outside of your own purchasing power, you matter very little...

That if someone can't benefit off you financially, that you may as well not exist at all, as if you're already dead...

Life, death, soon it's like what's the difference...like one long continuum...

If you're going to be dead for billions and billions of years, what's an extra day or two, or year...what is really gained?

(only someone who is alone would ask these questions)

Then you turn on radio, read headline articles on the net, and have to see dense Professors getting acclimades and attention, for saying things you've know to be true since a mild.

Things you've shared over and over and over again...nothing...

Yet some dense Professor says it, and is suddenly hailed as 'brilliant'....bs....dense is more like it...if it took them all those years, and millions of dollars in funding to come to a conclusion about something that most peoples grandparents already knew.

So you sit boxed in by fate...by your environment, by the small minded people around you.

People who would rather bury a star than to lift it up into the sky.

So tragic...

Does social media destroy social continuity? or help it?

I think that depends on what age or phase of life one is in.

I think for those still in school, where you're around the same people everyday, irregardless of whether you want to be or not, than social media does no harm...cause while in school or college, every single day you gotta go to class and mingle.

But I think for those a bit older, and out of school, social media can be harmful to social growth.

Example, I mean how easy is it to get comfortable on couch, or in bed, or at desk, and start typing away at all sorts of thoughts and ideas you have?
It's very easy...and next thing you know, 5 hours have past spent typing nothing on keyboard, thinking you're having an impact, when most really do not...not online anyways.

In the past, if one had the urge to talk or chat, you had to pick up phone, or just simply go out.

Be it a club, church, concert, arts and crafts, whatever...you had to go out to satisfy that urge to socialize...

Now you really do not...

Social media is like a mirage...an illusion of socializing...but most of the time you're simply chatting with yourself.


This is kind of what we spend 98% of our time on social media doing...talking to self, reasoning with self, and then pretending that we're actually having an impact.

Social media is a pretend world of self theropy.

Waiting for that one post, or article, to 'shake up the world' or 'change things'...but it never does.

Only you can do that by actually going out into the world, and interacting with real humans, real matter...

And if you break 'code' than are you a biological virus?

Would gay people be considered a biological virus, for breaking 'code'?

Kind of a off day, off night, off dreams.

Where do dreams come from?

How are our minds able to generate scenerios that before the dream, you never ever think about.

How do dreams bring dead, deceased people back to life?

Dreams seem totally independent of our will, cause we often dream about things we really don't want to at all.

Like some grouchy dead relative coming back to life, that you find yourself having to deal with again.

It's as if someone, something, outside your body controls your dreams...the way a cable company decides what programs you will watch.

Odd night, odd dreams, odd day...like a decimal point day or something.
