Not new thoughts -- primer

I know the meaning of life that nature intended. It sucks. It's all just consumption and reproduction, isn't it? That's really the evolutionary goal if you think about it. Desire manipulates people to think and act in really funny ways. All we're doing in life is chasing desires, some perverted, some realistic. And don't even start with the whole God thing.

Living in this society is kind of like injecting heroin into yourself. The addiction is this game that we're all playing here in society. Get a fucking job, go here, go there, look at the tree, walk into the building, stare at a squirrel, eat dinner, go home, go to bed. In society, we have these responsibilities that keep us tethered to the heroin of society and its attendant problems. It's not exactly easy to leave society, either. This society won't tolerate people killing themselves and being rid of their conscious lives which might suck a whole lot.

Most wealth is inherited in this day and age. The rich get richer and everyone else wallows in the mire. The government owes a whole lot of money to these folks, and you wonder why all the legislation in this country contains so many favors, handouts, loopholes, watered-down provisions, etc. People lament giving up their money because they have this sense of entitlement. We think it's okay that Mark McGwire's son automatically gets to play pro baseball.

That's why "get money, get bitches" is so irrelevant to me. I don't like either of those things a whole lot.

You can never get ahead in life. You can only help to clean up existing messes while you're here on this planet. Our stuff comes at a price paid by more than just the consumer.
