No Room for Doom&Gloom
Question for you guys.
Have we all gone into a capatalist pig dog world, where by if we are not making six figure salaries and our house price isnt increasing by 20% a year we are all doomed and classed as poor?
A reality check is needed, we have all had a fantastic role for 10 years, some more than others, for me I am completely broke due to the economic crisis due to making poor decisions at the wrong time, but I have food, drink beer and have a roof over my head.
Having a shirt on my back with the above makes me a rich man in my eyes to continue tasting the fruits of Australia from the local fruit market.
Just because I dont have pool, a huge 4x2 , 4 off 50" plasma's doesnt make me go into a frenzy we are doomed and Im at the bottom of the food chain.
If the world needs to take a breath due to the greed that has gone on over the past 10 years let us change what the future holds and get back to grass root principles.

"Listen officer... it's like this...."
To answer your question - no, we have not gone into a capitalist world. We probably always have and always will. That's life - and I don't need a reality check. But your concern is touching... will you bring some fruits to my house please?

Make sure it's organic as you wouldn't want to contaminate
It's all about development - we buy things to better our lives. It's just a case of knowing how much and when to stop.
I'm off to live the good life

You reap as you sow
As true today as in Biblical times
Spend in haste, repent in leisure
etc.
Muck to brass and back again in 3 generations, etc.
The world didn't start when we were born and it won't end when we depart it.
Pearls of wisdom were hard learned and stand the test of time. Some of us have learned. Others have still to learn. A few will never learn.

I'm not saying that the thought of you doing all of the above doesn't float my boat . . . but I thought you were a material girl?
