A failed love: money & pink hippos

[rahkytopia]

yes, religion is part of the system. every one of them. shhhh. that's a secret. ;)

Heya, I'll try to be brief here.

1. I almost remember when that pic came out. (I know I saw it by 1967.)

2. "We are not slaves to the system." is kind of equal to "In God We Trust" (if you think about it).

3. If you read Old Testament prophets, you come to realize there are two things that really screw things up bad:

1. The rich taking advantage of the poor, and 2. Idol Worship (which might be materialism, or any number of things).

4. If the rich burned their money, it would cost us a lot.

@EagleMedieval :Aw, you edited a thoughtful essay into point form :( My mind's personal flipside to this is:

1. I had that CD for years and didn't know the significance  of that pic till I saw it in a religious studies course. I literally thought it was a mechanic raging against an overheating machine.

2. "We are not slaves to the system" would NOT equal "In God we Trust" in Nietzsche's eyes of "God is dead." In my eyes, religion is part of the system.

@EagleMedieval:

3. Oh, whoops, I read Animal Farm instead :) It still touched on the more powerful exploiting others and the worshipping of false idols - both of which stem from greed or self-interest.

4. The rich do burn their money on things they don't need. And yes, it does cost us a lot.

Beautiful:)

I understand your decision now :) There's really no point of doing something meaningless. Life is more pleasurable when you do something you love =)

[GhostStanza]

@gvsalgo: Exactly, if I were to live a mundane and meaningless life - it would be no different to death :(

[gvsalgo]

I always knew you had a special way of expressing yourself!

I love how the hippo comes into play thou. it makes the atmosphere a lil less "tense" :)

I know what? I agree with what you said. You probably heard that a million times, but I wanted to add that sometimes some people don't realize how lucky they are to have what they have in their lives. They take those things/person for granted and instead of cherishing them. it's of human nature to want more and more.

[GhostStanza]

@gvsalgo : Thank you Mr. "Algorict" - such an algorict comment to make :) Well said, there are more important intangibles in life that goes way beyond slaving away for minimum or maximum wage. The pink hippo is my little hero :)

[StreetMUNKdotCOM]

Very creative and a beautiful mind.

[GhostStanza]

@StreetMUNKdotCOM: Too kind! The pink hippo says thank you :)

[Koolvedge]

Very Profound. This vid is great, you are an amazing free thinker!

[GhostStanza]

@Koolvedge: Thank you :)  Life truly is full of inspiration even if it's not always pretty.

Ok u need to get a real hobby or sumthin. besides didnt u kno corporations own the world.so go play with your toys.

[GhostStanza]

@MssDigitalarchitect : Well, I would say that the real toys are those that played themselves for thinking that the world should stay that way.

[GhostStanza]

@trg18 : Oh "red" ranger, you're too kindly biased :) if I made a video on the fibre components of broccoli, you would still rave about it while eating broccoli - you would just ommit the best friend part :) jk , thank you.

P.S: I have a strong urge to call "someone" out on a certain closet cloak... but I'll behave :)
