Why is it that good ppl are generally the ones with tortured souls who wish to die, and yet the most evil, selfish, shittiest ppl are the happiest and most successful??
I know “life isn’t fair,” but that’s fucked up isn’t it?
Also, just bc that saying “life isn’t fair” is used so much- WHY do we just accept it without question? Humans really are sheeple- we are told something and we just blindly follow, never questioning jack shit. We *COULD* make life more fair, but we just choose NOT to.
Anyhow, I digress. It’s messed up that good ppl tend to get screwed over, and the biggest liars, manipulators, and assholes, get ahead in life and are so much more successful and happy. Life rewards assholes. Especially the assholes who pretend to be nice. Meanwhile genuinely nice ppl tend to get used and taken advantaged of, until they wise up and become angry and bitter at life (like me).
And so here we are are- a planet full of selfish assholes…

I dont agree with repetitive philisopical sayings,. It feels more like a compulsive response than an actual thought they thought. Like they didnt think about it, they just oulled that from their memory and blurted it out to get out of talking out thw tough stuff.
Theres a lot that isnt for truly, like people who have incurable diseases, or have lost a limb, etc. those are bot fair. But on the other hand, theyre so dispairing that they deserve to be made better, the best they can be. Like if youve lost your arm, you should be a billionaire. If you have serious disease, you should have your wishes granted. The healthiest take it all.
All they do is take! And take it all. Some of them have just taken way too much. Quit taking from us! Youre killing us with your taking, with your greed and showing off, youre snuffing the light out in innocent souls to feed your voracious egos.
I type on ipad, i type from my heart, my feelings and if it is hard to read im sorry.
it’s a direct relationship; suffering and dealing with the hard questions makes better people.
The worst people are the insulated ones, the people without real problems. They don’t try, they don’t want to know about awful things happening. It’s why I have such a beef with rich folks, because they can never know what it’s like to be really vulnerable. If you can open your checkbook or take your charge card and solve 90% of your problems….
I don’t think it’d be a problem if the people at the bottom weren’t suffering so much. It’d be okay if everyone had a safe/decent temperature place to sleep, enough to eat, healthcare. I don’t think it would be as obscene to own a yacht in those conditions. Also, if I knew they were paying a higher tax rate. If you can afford a yacht on an 80% tax (which I think should be everyone getting more than a quarter million a year), go for it.
I don’t think I ever connected with the kind of obscene wealth that there is now, when I was a kid. I read alot about the gilded age and late 19th century and thought “well, thank whatever higher power you have that we don’t have to live with that level of concentrated wealth and assholery now”
and then the 21st century happened, and oh look it might be worse.
*shrug* but I’m an agitator, a pinko, a commie, and any other pejorative reserved for people that don’t care what label gets attached to them for thinking that the rich don’t need that much money.
Theres more to life besides sleep eat, place to stay. We are humans with an intellect and deserve the opportunity to use our brains and not just sit protected from the elements in an pt, with full belly. I know, im living it. I do have dreams but cant afford them. The gov who helps me does not allow me to work and earn the money i need for my dreams or any extras. Paying for a roof overhead doesnt pay for furniture to rest the body on. They never think about the details. Just get them off the street and out of everyones eyesight. People need support for their bodies, a decent bed, a place to sit or lay down besides the bed. Theres other basic needs that goes into upkeeping a home and body, so if those needs were taken care. There are needs beyond physical. People deserve to be able to leave their homes, to take a break. That costs money.
I still dont know if i approve of one person having so much, hving everything they could ever dream of and some. There is something to be said of ? Desire or having. Goal to works towards.
What bothers me is the bragging, the shoving in face, the showing off, the trying to make others jealous. Look at me, ll I have and you will never hve. That makes anyone feel like crap. Youre going to maui again? Or some other tropical location. I cant even afford the gas to go to grocery store.
Yes, I agree entirely, there is more. I just think, given the current abundance of resources shelter, food and healthcare would be a good baseline. Maybe add education, because that really shouldn’t be gate kept like it is.
It’s an interesting road not traveled for me, your situation. I applied for disability, didn’t get it. and now I’m in a weird limbo, I interviewed for one of the most interesting jobs I’ve ever seen on Monday. So maybe I’ll get that. OR, maybe I’ll have to go bag groceries just to afford them. Well, there’s worse than that, I’m just physically incapable.
You’ll always have stuff to reach for, that’s the nature of stuff. The wealth that gets me, really gets me, is when people run out of things to buy. People with tens of millions of dollars, you run out of rational things to buy. Because it isn’t rational to own several hundred stores. If you can’t name the general manager of every store, it’s too many. The highest I think a single human should be reaching for, the most expensive option, should be a private jet. That’s a few million, and when you have one you get to do air travel without the TSA, the height of luxury.
but when you own multiple airplanes…. you can only fly on one at a time. It isn’t like cars, there’s no market for collecting weird old ones. Same goes for yachts, one should be enough. Then there’s stuff that really gets to me, multiple mansions. When people are homeless and there’s a “housing crisis”, there is no way it’s okay to own multiple properties while most people don’t have any. I can make an exception with maybe one vacation home, not in a high demand area. A home in a city, and one somewhere rural. Because the city sucks sometimes.
but a mansion in LA, a penthouse in NYC, and a mansion in the suburbs of Chicago?! Again, you can live in one at a time.
and then it comes down to the fact that there is no amount of work that is worth more than $500,000 a year, for one person. It doesn’t exist. You own a company? Okay, that half million a year might be reasonable. But earning millions a year, while your employees, the ones doing most of the work make less than $50k? That’s just F-ing theft.
I can keep ranting about this nearly non stop…. because I was raised around those jerks, the ones pulling a salary like they build 12 bespoke high performance cars a DAY. But what they actually do is sit in a big office, and check email. I sit in a small office and check my email for nothing right now, and I think that’s a pretty rational compensation for it.
Then there are the people who worship these jerks. The freakin mythology around the very rich, the ones who are well known is insane. There’s maybe five people alive at the same time that useful, that amazing, and none of them are the jerks with billions of dollars. You know why? Because managing that much money is distracting. High value returners? They don’t have time to spend that much.
*sigh* I get worked up about it. This is why I need a better distraction, because as long as I don’t have challenging problems I start looking for stuff to solve. As though the shortage of well paying jobs is a shortage of meaningful problems. Instead of people who have enough not wanting to let go of even a little.
Agree. I hope you get the job!
Im going to have to work and come off ssi, i cant survive like this. I may end up laid off and have no income, and thus homeless. Its that or sit and watch my life fall further and further apart and long for my younger years when i had things, knowing a much better life but being unable to afford-it, cause they won’t let me.
Pisses me off, they make self euthanasia so difficult. Ive lived pretty long and i just want to go to sleep forever. Not toil my most basics and worry about it ti die, later on, after suffering seevere trauma of working. I see the tiktok bitching about corporate. It scares me. I prolly cant obtain one of those high pay jobs anyway. Id prolly lose it for running my mouth or saying some flippant thing, like fuck, or losing my sheet going off on the man.
I cant distract myself any longer. My joy has been drained out and replaced by fear.isn’t that their goal? No one is allowed to enjoy life, unless you have been protected and born into wealth or married well. Even then…?
The celebrity worship is sickening. I cant wait til that whole thing falls apart. Its gross. Aside from money, the worship is about energy. All that attention these rich f-s get, they steal energy from people that could be used to help the person. They have monetized the attention. Why the f does —- need all the money, all, all the energy, all the attention. Why does one person need to have everything? Its unbalanced. Maybe someone else would do a better job with it.
Its like theyre never satisfied. They have the mindset of a junkie.
So agree about one of everything. I got a cutie plant for valentines and i had to go to several targets to find the mauve color. When i finally found it, there were several and i thought, i could sell these at a profit. But i left them for the other people who wanted one as much as myself. It felt greedy. I only took one, the one i needed, the mauve one cause im a purple person. Seriously, i have enough stuff/junk, i have to manage. Think about these richies, youre right, its just impossible to manage hundreds of stores.
The toktok perfume girls are doing this, collecting ad many bottles as they can to make videos, with no concern of how it smells, if they actually love it. Im old, im smelled a lot and most suck. It takes a rare one to keep my interest. Its just oure greed, a high almost.
I get it, i need a high. I cant seem to find anything lately. I feel overexposed to everything from social media. Like things have lost their meaning and value. I feels like a shirt should cost the most vs any food items but when olive oilor coffee is more than a top. The pricing of things has been winky for awhile. But its almost like we need a reset. And not, the great reset. It truly scares me. Ive been alive before the internet, ive had things, i worry about not being able to afford what i love if things are re priced how they should be.
People who have enough, not willing to leg even a little go. That feels like control. Thats an ego/fear thing.
Thins are so out of control. Its hard watch.
People with good hearts are usually the ones who have lived through things. And the ones who can feel empathy for others. Empathy is a fading light in this world. We are taught to have it as children (some are) but never shown any. Most people can not see past their own feelings, emotions, wants and greed to think about others. I honestly am right there with you. I DONT understand most people in this world.
