We have to stop pretending to be rich

I realize i'll sound like a hipster or some anti-conformist, pretty much am, who hates all corporations and whatever, but we really need to stop embracing these ideals and lifestyles perpetuated by people who don't have many things to worry about. ANd if they do worry a lot, they sure as hell aren't worrying about having the right amount of money like the average family or individual over the age of 18 in America is. They're just living their life like its a movie, which is the only place they learn how to love life. What rich people sit in silence on a sunday afternoon and really try to understand life? Better yet, what happy person does that? Not many. Fact of the matter is, most people have to keep trying over and over to understand life because its either changing constantly or putting them through more and more bullshit thats unavoidable and substantially depressing.

ANd we have to acknowledge that depression. We can't build from a problem unless we know what the fuck we're missing. Unless we know what the fuck we want. Unless we know that we all want and are missing virtually the same things. Then and only then can we come together, truly understand one another, and stop accepting the forceful transferring of ideals to us from people who WON'T live lives full of worry like the average person does.

Which leads me back to my original point, corporations and businesses only want your money. They'll sell you what you need but they only want you to buy it. I'm sure research could provide many examples showing how apathetic the leaders of a company you support often has bullshitted its way out of harming or neglecting people who deserve more. They just want your cash, not your well being.

So if we're going to truly liberate ourselves and start feeling like we own our bodies and will, instead of being bound by desire to places and things we don't need, we have to stop pretending we're rich. We have to stop acting like a party is the fucking end and beginning of our world, simultaneously ending our stress, though it'll end and return us to our stress. We have to accept the fact that we can't afford those unnecessary expensive cars and be glad we can get one that can drive us between people we love or places we love. We have to stop buying a bunch of fucking clothes that only contribute to other economies more than our own and give more money to companies that don't even give a shit about their employees. We have to stop looking at those idiots in mansions as people living a life so differently from ours, its worth achieving. It is different, but its not better. Its just another.

And lastly, we have to realize the commonalities we all share that don't set us apart. We have to let fucking go of our attachments to race and appearance and even beliefs, because we all want somewhere to sleep and something to eat. Maybe even someone to love. But we'll keep fighting each other and disappointing each other if we think there is an ideal way of living that isn't based on minor necessities and pure relativity to your fellow human being.
