I can't say I really know how it all happened until and when I decide to really think back and study it, but for my entire adult life (say 14-30's) until even now my natural instinct and drive has been to follow, track and hunt down money! I mean it's part of the plan, but not the complete picture at all! I did learn a lot along the way I must say. I can now imagine and understand the ones that have manifested all their energy into just attaining that piece of paper with United States jargon on it that we have given value to and call cash money. That's 1% mentality right there, which is okay I say IF you really had the choice of looking at the entire field of opportunities and direction before you chose your route. The unfortunate part is that cash money has taken over our educational institutions and government, which have been our resources towards maturing our minds and adapting to the world we live in. I'm afraid that with money as such a big influence within these areas and resources we are tricked before we know it. The scenario I think of is of closing the door to the chicken coop when the fox is already hidden inside. The chickens don't stand a chance at living, flourishing or even simply going in the direction that they want to go in.
We need to teach as parents, teachers and as a society, all people (because we ALL live here and we ALL will be effected) at home and in the streets too that HEALTH, FAMILY, LOVE, & LAUGHTER should always come first giving us all a strong foundation with which to battle any ill influences and lead a LIFE in our individual direction.
Human minds and souls are SO hungry that if we start snacking on sweet empty sugars like money too early in life with the foundations of HEALTH, FAMILY, LOVE & LAUGHTER we will end up nourishing ourselves with deep fried, chocolate dipped Twinkies. Like Eddie Murphy once said in his original stand up comedy from the 80's: "if you're starving and someone throws you a cracker, you gonna be like this: Goddamn, that's the best cracker I ever ate in my life! That ain't no
regular cracker, was it? What was that, a Saltine? Goddamn, that was
delicious. That wasn't no Saltine. That was... That was a Ritz. That
wasn't a Ritz? God, that was the best cracker I ever ate in my life."
LIFE is so much BIGGER than cash money. Like the feeling you get after finishing that meal you, your spouse, mother, father, grandparents, loved one cooked for you. When you hit that physical sexual climax, that first kiss and suck of those lips you've wanted to taste, hitting the last shot to win the game, your child trying to make YOU laugh or smile when they spot a sad face, kids screaming your name and welcoming you home as you come back home from outside, people and family sticking up for you and/or yours when you're not around, laughing at yourself and others when, SNEEZE and a booger flies out or they laugh so hard that they pee in their seat. I've witnesses this twice, one female and one guy and when they read this they will know who they are, but I'm not naming no names. Just thinking. :)
