A full complete life brimming with nothing, with nothing!
Car, house, and wife, still it's nothing, it's nothing!
Pot and coke and crystal meth,
alcohol and bated breath,
this is what you're living with,
it's such a shame this fucking mess,
you work for this until your death,
it's nothing,
it's nothing!

I had a discussion this weekend about 'the american dream' and all those things you mention: that is all it is.
People working themselves into the ground so they can have one of everything, and at the end of the day, how does that amount to success?
Should our goal really be to obtain everything; to be the biggest and best consumers? It depresses me that this is what people work for...
Do I have a better answer? I'm working on it, but it is a bit like building a better mousetrap.
I think I'll keep writing. It's what I have. -

I think what we're told to go for and value sometimes misses the mark, and we look up one day and realize we totally missed the fact that intellectual persuit, creative endeavor, and truth are the keystones. The unanalyzed life and all that...

I think there must be some balance, though. At what poitn does intellectual pursuit and self analysis become so much self involvement that you've gone so far the opposite direction that you are just as bad?
I don't want 'things' that much. I mean okay, I would lie if I say I never do. Of course there are things I will desire, but never so much that I would work 3 jobs to have them. I work to survive, to feed myself, to pay my rent, and to entitle myself the time for the introspection and intellectual pursuit and creative endeavors.

Certainly. Nothing is good to you, or of value, unless you have the capacity to appreciate it.
