Somewhere, someplace, someone is doing something.

We, as a people in developed societies, have moved from hunter/gatherer to industrial to technological where the technological wave moves into AI and our experiences continue to be simulated.

As an advanced society, the number one activity is sitting, watching others do things, on innumerable devices, platforms, programs, stations, and topics.

We will continue to grow into mindless rats in some social experiment while some world happens, it has to right?  

Somewhere, someplace, someone is doing something.

Unnecessary , but awesome

I have so many unnecessary, but awesome things, which can probably be said in the reverse, depending on your priority.  Awesome, but unnecessary,  things.

I was holding a novelty golf ball.  Cheap in value but a part of my collection.

We spend money, any money, great or small, on collections, whatever that is, when people are hungry, sick, and dying.

Maybe it's our reach, we deny that due to an excuse of reach.

More so, it's probably selfishness, but more so humanness.  To gain.  To have dominion.  Even over something as minimal as golf balls.

Life is about passion.  (And that's my take)

But it drives us.

However it can't be driven unchecked, and this attempt at gain, or thought of many's purpose (an idea I've taken from Mr Beast of all folks) being to obtain a bigger box, just fuels this realization of capitalism, 100k plus, the day to day 9-5, only being a struggle of our making.  A daily production to only move the tangible that the same system has brought us to need.

Starting to ramble, as we all do.

But to have a purpose is to live, and to be capitalism's purpose, through all but asking to be by borrowing such an agregious amount to then work for that same system, is either irony, ludicrousy, or lunacy.

And I don't  think much else.

But that's what many do.

That's what I did.  Am doing.  And will continue to do until the mindless, blind spelunking of a person looking for a purpose, through direct payment for that purpose, makes another, strike that, a better, plan.

Purpose comes from a plan. (A plan is necessary, whether awesome or not)

Given

100k plus indicates I wasn't given at least the basic rights of a secondary education to guide through the actual preparation to being something.

I wasn't given it but I damn sure wanted to be given it, amongst many other things and situations.

When I was young, I wanted to be given a spot in a band with minimal dedication to an instrument or a dedicated craft.

Now, a bit older, I want a good round of golf, or dare I say, make that my living, which is laughable, but I want to be given that ability.

I believe kids should be given innate rights, like a path to affordable, life appropriate secondary education, amongst many other things.

But I want given much.

Earned is much sweeter, and concrete.  But given is easy.

By wanting easy, by being given, we diminish our place on this earth and who we were meant to be.  Our souls don't reach the heights they were meant to through being given 100k, but through blood, sweat, and tears, earning it.

I'm not sure if I believe that or if I'm trying to convince myself out of the pain of 100k plus vs the other options.

I still hope for the givens, whether that's from the government or a relative.  But that's not right.  That's not a life fulfilling way to go about each day.

I'm not Dave Ramsey.

I'm 100kplus.
