We walked through this beach neighborhood and it really made me think, about accumulating money and material goods. All the houses in the neighborhood were extremely nice, well manicured lawns, very nice cars, extremely beautiful houses. Private docks, all that jazz. The stop signs even had beautiful vines growing around them, everything was like something you'd see in a bizarro parallel universe where everyone is happy and rich and loves their neighbors. It was around 10:30 at night and I was on the come up so maybe that had something to do with it, but the point is it made me think.
I started wondering about the people that live in those houses, how much they had to work/steal/hustle to get to where they were. And then I wondered if they were happy. I figured that most of them probably were, but then I thought about the attitudes these people had. Most of them see me walking down the street in a pair of slip-on checkered vans, a band t-shirt and a pair of shorts, my hair unkempt and sometimes I'm unshaven, just walking around enjoying myself. They give me snide looks and shake their heads. I see a homeless man trying to fall asleep on a comfortable park bench and an asshole pig tells him he can't sleep there. What?! "You there, yeah you guy who just found a comfy spot to crash for the night, yea.. you can't sleep there. Locals have been complaining so we gotta do something".
90% of those people are just assholes. Huge, huge, assholes. I think that most people whose only goal in life is to accrue wealth lose sight of the more important things in life. I want money of course, I mean who wouldn't want to win the lottery. But then again I'm 100% happy with being an average middle-class member of society.
I think that enjoying the moment and having a good time is the meaning of life for me. I'm not saying I'm going to live everyday like its my last, but I just let shit go, forgive and forget. People are assholes to me I just let it slide off my back like rain. I love making other people feel good, helping people with their problems (friends of course, I'm not going to bend over backwards for someone I don't know), and just trying to have a good attitude about everything.
[Oh and also, I don't believe in the traditional belief of a heaven and hell as possible afterlives, I don't think that anything I do in this life will have any affect on what happens after I die. Maybe I'm wrong, but we don't know that for sure.]
Cannabis helps a bit with this.
The meaning of life could just be sex?PhenoMenal said:*throws up violently*
