if i had the extra wealth to help someone else get on their feet a little i would do it. unfortunately i have already extended myself to a comfortable limit.

a little perspective and literal appreciation for what comforts we have is always healthy.

a genuine appreciation for your existence that transcends into being a better more generous person. i people i respect and admire all have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philanthropy tendancies. the longer we live life the more obvious it becomes that we all suffer at times in life and if you are able to help alleviate some suffering then you should, and you should feel good for helping also.

No doubt man. I recognise the privilege of my position in this world and try and use it every way I can to help all life, and my fellow humans in the struggle especially:

Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
--Ian Maclaren

Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering. Do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the life of the world. Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, including personal contact and visits, images, sounds. By such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world. If we get in touch with the suffering of the world, and are moved by that suffering, we may come forward to help the people who are suffering.
--Hanh


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
--Jac O'keeffe

The world economy cultivates feelings of pointlessness, a repressed spirit, and a feeling of being trapped and lost. To say nothing of what it does to the earth itself.


While kids in the 3rd world are making cheap shit no one needs in a factory us in the first world has someone on every side trying to shove that cheap shit no one needs down their throats. I mean I'm currently wearing a glove with holes in the fingers and jeans with a hole in the ass. They work, they are still comfortable, but if people around me noticed they'd try to make me feel bad for it. If my boss or management noticed I'd get a warning. If I did it again I'd get a written reprimand leading up to getting fired for not being "presentable." society feels quite suffocating to me sometimes.

Only in unity and a rejection of a consumer based economy can we change.

I left the city for that exact reason. The dreariness and lack of creative freedom was killing me inside for so long. I miss the people I left behind but the ability to work on my own time and be my own boss is priceless.

I hope to do just that one day. I don't know how everyone else stands it (well, generally it seems to be with weed, booze, and antidepressants...) but I need more that a quarter of my day spent on doing what I really want to do. And I don't even have that because work and people around me suck up what energy and enthusiasm I have. It takes me a good 3-4 hours to finally be somewhat relaxed when I go home.

I got problems, but by no means do I think I have a bad life. I personally feel that I am not living the life that was meant for me. And very few are.


When I've finally saved up enough money and have the opportunity though I'm gonna move out to the country and either find people to work with of the same mentality or try to start my own business. I don't know why people lay back and take a life they don't want. I won't. Life is only pointless when you convince yourself that, just because others are telling you where to go, you don't have the wheel.

Though in reality if everyone did what they really wanted to do, even if we technically could function like that as a society, our economy would collapse.

Precisely why we should adopt a new one but people look at me like I've completely lost my mind when I say that. I'm only saying what needs to happen... We can't go on like this forever and there's no reason we should.

I dont get it either, it literally drives me insane having to put up with the typical middle management bullshit most places practice. I went back recently just to visit and I felt soo fucking happy I was finally out of it. The domineering and performance reports were just too much for me too handle haha.

I've been gradually transitioning to working for myself, its been a back and forth thing where I can manage it for awhile before having to pick up some shitty day job.
I'm definitely burnt out of the bs and haven't kept a job for more than a season since I was 22, usually quit much sooner than that.


All said and done I'm pretty satisfied, but if I were forced to continue working shit jobs indefinitely, creature comforts would do nothing to assuage the inevitable misery.
Thankfully we have enough freedom not to have to do that, one way or another.

Free market, in the states at least, seems to do pretty decent for tiny business, working and selling what you yourself and maybe a partner can do. Mostly because there are enough people in the consumer market that appreciate handmade local made goods. But I've heard so many people struggle so hard with regulations and red taped bs when trying to take the next step in small business. I don't think anyone in the first world makes it rich on their own volition. But if you can find the niche you can support yourself and make ends meet.

The thing that traps so many people is it's alot harder to support a family going that way. That and we are taught and raised to believe we always have to be working and climbing up that ladder into filthy richland. It's easier to climb up to filthy richland in a corporation... Nearly impossible on your own unless you wiggle your way into the market with something rediculously profitable and investment worthy. Which doesn't happen often. The market is already saturated with a billion things no one needs and most people don't want.

Yeah I agree on all that, people have crazy expectations out here, $5000 tables and $500 chairs.

I've seen kids ruin a career or two, forcing people into more conventional work because of their expectations and the reality of childcare costs.
That's why you don't have a kid until your career is relatively stable though, I don't have much sympathy for that problem.

There's no red tape for me, I perform and teach, the only trouble has been having high standards for my work.
