The Green



We live for it. love it. Save it. Spend it. 
Some even sleep and bathe in it.
Why couldn't we just trade things/skills with each other. 

We go to school to get a degree to get a job...
Part of looking for the right career lies in the amount
of money it will bring. That's life. 
But what if money wasn't an issue?
Would the ball game change?
Would you rather be the ice cream man?
Would you become a body builder?
Make movies/music?
You would probably find something you'd love to do, but 
the reason you can't do it is because it comes with a high risk 
of job security or you might not be able to support whomever you're trying to...

Now don't switch careers cuz of me. 
Money will always be around.
I'm just hypothesizing. 

Money leads to wants. Things we don't need.
Luxuries such as houses, cars, condoms...

I suggest you all to see the movie, "Into the Wild."
And then I want you all to experience it.
Kill a bear, find your own food, survive. 

We're all capable of living off of what this planet has to offer. 
We do not need to complicate it with money. 

I am also guilty of having the "need" for money.
When the dust settles, there will always be that one person
that still believes money is what makes the world go round.
And that one person will ruin it for us all.

Can money buy happyness?
Oh, I don't know...maybe?
It's all relative. Maybe for the short term.
Living life comfortably, being able to support a family.
Being able to buy gifts for Christmas. Being able to go on vacations.

But try crossing the road when a car is coming straight at you.
Try doing the dirty without protection.
Try hiking up a 2 feet wide mountain with 12,000 ft drops on both sides. (Angel's Landing)
Try fighting cancer. Sky dive.
Drive 120 mph. 

Feel that adrenaline rushing through. 
happy yet?

  1. Dude, I have been saying for years, "give everyone a gun and a horse and see who survives." I of course would be a survivor, and we could get America back to being America!
