So I went to the market today. I spent like an hour wandering around because i forgot what i came for. $84.61 later i am at the checkout stand. I'm such a sucker for those "buy 2 and save" deals. It wasn't until i got home and unpacked 2 boxes of Shark Bite Fruit Snacks that i asked myself, what the fuck did I buy. Next i realized I forgot to get deoderant, which was the whole reason I even went. Such a rough life
I find it interesting that nothing in our lives here is all that terrible. It really is all about perspective. In comparison with many other societies we don't really have "problems" it's more like inconveniences. There are places where the people are so poor and soo unfortunate(by our standards) they literally have nothing but the clothes on their back. We've all heard that song and dance before. But what blows my mind is not the fact that they have nothing, the fact that many of them are completely happy with their lives. Completely happy working they're balls off just to stay alive and have a family. Much happier then masses of the American Dream. Honestly, I envy them. People with that kind of happiness are rich in a way i wish i could understand and be. Yes i enjoy my car, my computer, my money and pretty much all the other things MTV tells me will make me happy. But i wish so bad i wasnt. I'm no angel, I take a lot for granted. But im glad i realize that almost everything i really want i already have. And as for the rest, no it "cannot be sold to me"
{edit: except maybe an Ipod Nano}
"What are you doing tomorrow?
I was thinking about chaining myself to a bulldozer, do you wanna come?
What time?
mmm... 1 1:30.
Sounds good. Should I bring my own chains?
We always do."
