Exasperation

[fiat_knox]

What is it with people's continued obsession with money?

You can't eat it. You can't have sex with it.

But we're all told we're supposed to fucking worship it.

And all day, pissant little people with their hands out, looking for money for services and goods we can fucking well do without.

Someone told me today "This time next year you could be a millonaire." I replied, "I'd rather pursue a goal you can't buy with money."

Thing is, as long as they're blinded by money and "the cost of living," they'll not be able to see beyond this world to what else there is.

So it's all "play the game, play the game, play the game, DEAD" and nobody's any the wiser.

Oh I agree...

...but at the same time, we have to be concerned about cost of living and jobs because living costs money. Having a place to live costs money. Food, clothes...things we have to have to survive in the world...it costs money. Granted, no one HAS to have designer clothes...but you understand my meaning.

It's a shame.

But it's the way shit is.
