RE: Monkey Suits
Go to South America, go to Africa, say the same thing. People don't even realize the choices that are around them because those ideas have been censored or ridiculed by their own system. People think that they must rely on it, I've seen it for a long time now. The possessions are only things that humans have created due to selfish value. Ownership isn't real, its simply something we've established to control who gets what. It isn't helpful in anyway. Natives in many places around the world live in a real community. They share those "possessions". We were all given whats here on earth for us. Food, Water, and warmth can easily be obtained without approaching the average rat race.
I was speaking about natural survival: necessities. Not what people have imprinted in the minds of other individuals. Ergo, Formal Suits, that are almost entirely required for professional acceptance.
I have had some extraordinary experiences, far outside the average scope, and the only reason that happened is because of my rebellious thinking. I'm not preventing myself from anything, but I appreciate the concern.
I mean no offense of course, I hope you know! I really enjoy the conversing that happens here.
Yes, dialogue is always important. I mean no offence either. Just participating in a discussion with another steemian with diffremt world views.
Also have you ever thought of judging someone not by how he obtains his money but how he spends it? Like steem in the world we vote with our dollars. So someone may utilise somewhat selfish means to create more good in the long run. Like mister Musk. He runs a billion dollar company, but has now channelled that energy into tech that will help our planet down the road.
I love Musk. I don't try to judge people, I work my best away from it. I happen to of course, but I would say doing good only for yourself is definitely one of the best way to commit selfish acts. If it is only affecting people positively around you, then by all means!
Appreciate the clarity on the discussion! :D
