The Art Of Our Thoughts

The thing about money

"I'd rather be crying in a Ferrari than in a crappy car,"

Or something like that.

So this saying went around quite a bit, and it's supposedly criticizing the whole "money can't buy happiness" thing.

It's true. It can't.

However, seeing that we live in a mostly materialistic world, in which most holidays are corporate driven, money is pretty important.

For sure, mentally it can't be a healthy method to distract yourself with luxurious things hoping it will magically heal your depression or anxiety or whatever it is you're suffering from.

But, humans are greedy, and they're scared. Both feelings together is not a good combo.

So they turn to money in hopes it will help satisfy their greediness (is that even a word idk) , and chase away their fears.

I mean I get it. Being financially stable feels good, it feels just a tad bit like you're secure, like you don't have to worry everytime you go grocery shopping.

I just can't get it through me that it can be the reason where someone is genuinely happy.

I mean, Robin Williams? The guy was a comedian, an incredible actor, had millions of dollars, and he killed himself.

How freaking ironic.

What I'm trying to say, is that sure make some extra cash, invest in stuff, work for more money. But not to the point where it's the only thing your mind is focusing on.

If all you live for is money, making more money, and then spending more money,

That's a pretty gruesome way to live if I'm completely honest.
