Money, money, money …

I guess money *does* rule the world and makes it go round and not love. I sometimes feel that I am very naive about the world and my expectations about people because I expect everybody to think the way I do and think that people, their feelings and especially those you love, are important. But I constantly find myself rudely shocked to find that everybody does not think this way. (Yes, I know, another one of my cryptic statements/comments :p) Oh well, I guess I can’t change the people around me and I certainly will not change the way I think either just because everybody else is cynical.

But it does bring up the interesting question as to what I should put first when another person who seems to think money is more important is involved. Do I still deal with them with my principles intact or do I deal with them on their terms? I’m beginning to think maybe I should simply deal with them as they would deal with me – probably pragmatically from their point of view but coldly from my POV. Interesting … Oh well, I just started on the first step to be a coldly cynical person I guess. Heck, we all have to grow up sometime – or that’s what I’m told by others who think I am totally out of touch with reality and the world.

Slapping them usually helps…..or hitting them with a spade….yeah. Hit them with a spade 🙂 Edge first.

Walk your own path and you will find your own destiny. Walk the path of others and you may get stepped on. Or, you could just hit em with the spade.

ROFL. What’s with the spade? Of course, killing off everybody who doesn’t think like you leaves only those who think like you … hmm … maybe you guys have hit on soemthing that serial killers and guys like Hitler discovered themselves :p

money torques, but love controls its angular velocity.

you sound like I do sometimes…hang in there but please, don’t become cynical – it will only change the perception you have of yourself and lead to seriously depressing self-image issues. I have a feeling that you are a fantastic person. Have you ever been in Colorado? You sound like a Colorado person.
