If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.


like i know i know bad to say.

but somehow, the way all these fuckers have Normal People Problems except with organizations instead of people just makes it so dark. you've stolen everything. and you're still miserable. so what's the point continuing on that path -- inertia, until you're coerced to part with your money?

I bike through ultra rich Connecticut neighborhoods sometimes. we're talking about people with yards as big as the field of a hunt club.

and mostly? I hear miserable trapped children, an unhappy marriage, and worries about finances because they're overspending their riches in lean times.

and it's just like. c'mon man. what's even the point of implicitly stealing that much from everyone else then.

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

"hedonic treadmill" is a clever phrase for it. I was thinking of it in terms of the kind of happiness that extreme wealth gets you—rich people can purchase themselves temporary escape from their problems to a degree that's totally out of reach of the ordinary person. they're not held to a definite clock or calendar; they can go on massive benders and splurges; if they want they can dump all their problems into the hands of other people and disappear off to a vacation home or some "retreat" where they can get their minds wiped clean of worries about consequences. over time these expensive means of escape must come to seem absolutely necessary to their lives, and a persuasive motivation for hoarding more money and yet more. ~Chara

My silly little mind is reminded of "why doesnt anyone become The Batman?". Theyve got the money, but cannot truly being themselves to help others in any way, serious or comic. If they did,, they would have given more money to charity already rather than buy that yard.
