Response to Existentialistcat: Career? [Closed Captioned]

[sabeansiy]

i agree, good advice..I just graduated from school with a degree in fine arts and this is exactly what I'm doing. Working just for the money and then pursuing my real interests on the side.

Thanks. Yes, money gives you tremendous freedom to hone your craft, and, most importantly, buy supplies.

Breathing room, so to speak.

Good for you.

I cant stand money. I believe it holds everyone of use back from what we truly can become.

[TheFaustianMan]

Unfortunately, yes, that's true too.

However, there are those few individuals that are able to fulfill their dreams because of it. Geroge Lucas being the first one that comes to mind, "Doctors without borders" is another one.

Too bad it wasn't the same for Tesla, Farnsworth, and Lovecraft.

In this world, it's always better to have money, than not to. Starving to death or not being able to afford medication is a painful existence.

I have had it both ways. I seem to be finding more each day that I wish to step out of this world because of money, and what most people say should be the norm.

Fulfilling a dream... What if the dream is not what we believe or our current knowledge tells us dreaming should be?

/wiki/Dream

"Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.[1] The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology."

Oneirology is the scientific study of dreams.

I believe Hollywood and governments has messed things up pretty good for many of us.

I tell yea what, all the Déjà vu and repetition is starting to get to me.

I know there are people out there with more understanding about what this site, and the net is doing to peoples minds.

Quite sad in this world with all the secrets and deceptions one is not able to communicate with the right people from the get go. Much time I have spend behind this computer, with no response other than subliminal messages or garbage from people who only wish to manipulate.
