I think I'm a commie...
No, scratch that, I Am a commie. Now I know that a lotta
folks
hear that word and the first thing that pops into their heads is
"commie pinko bastard" and "the red menace" and "dictatorships" and all
sorts of other terrible evil things, but communism isn't a political
concept, it's an economic one. America is actually full of
communist economic policies, but most folks seem to be unaware of that
or just ignore it. Things like social security, welfare,
student
aid, veteran benefits, these are all commie pinko evil plots to
undermine our oh so perfect country. (ooo, the red menace is
here! Run for the hills!! *laughs*)
It seems to me that most people are obsessed with money. They
want More of it. No matter how much they have, they still
want
More. Kinda sad, actually. Of all the things to be
obsessive over, money is actually pretty worthless stuff, ya
know? Gold and silver and things like that? Okay, I
can see
getting all goo goo over that, you can actually Do something with a
nice shiny lump of metal or a sparkly gem stone... But
Money? The stuff we all fight over and obsess over and stress
over? Unless you can find some bozo to exchange your "in god
we
trust" bits of paper for the stuff you Really Want then there's not
really much you can do with it, ya know? It doesn't burn well
(I've tried), can't eat it or drink it... what's left?
Origami? Paper mache? Bah.
Don't get me wrong, wealth is nice, wealth is fun, but if you are not
enough without it, if you are not happy enough, confident enough,
secure in who you are without money, then you'll never be enough With
it. Money does not make a person.
Peace
be the
journey.
