I hadn’t gotten old enough yet to realize that living sends a person not into the future but back into the past, to childhood and before birth, finally, to commune with the dead. You get older, you puff on the stairs, you enter the body of your father. From there it’s only a quick jump to your grandparents, and then before you know it you’re time-traveling. In this life we grow backwards.

Very few people are happy with the amount of money they have. We are always comparing what we have to someone who has more. The idea of being dissatisfied with what you have is a complete delusion that affects society as a whole, and the only reason we aren’t consciously aware of how delusional we are is because everyone around us suffers from the same delusion as well. And it’s not an accident. We’ve been spoon-fed this reality by those in control through media outlets since their inception. They’ve been programming us since we could walk, talk & hear to always want more, more, more. The constant advertisements to have a bigger house and a better car than your neighbor. The beauty products to make women look better and get an upper hand in obtaining a mate (or atleast a good one). The list goes on and on. We’ve been programmed to never be happy with what we have. This programming is not harmless. People lose their entire lives being enslaved to this delusion, always trying to reach a plateau that will offer nothing more than a desire to reach an even higher one. You will never be satisfied, because the problem was never in the plateau you were at to begin with, it was in your mindset. You have to remove yourself from this mindset or you will be destroyed by it.

If we are merely matter intricately assembled, is this really demeaning? If there’s nothing in here but atoms, does that make us less or does that make matter more?
