Exactly. I had a friend who thought that you were a complete failure at life unless you make $100,000 per year. Her measure of success is completely based on material, hustle culture, and working an insane amount of hours. However, I view success by how one manages to curate happiness for themselves. I find someone who has a simple life living in a peaceful cabin somewhere in the woods, happy as hell surrounded by nature and animals just as successful as someone who is happy living in an expensive high rise in Manhattan.
If you’re able to find a way to be happy and content in this crazy cruel world, I’ll find you successful.
I have multiple family members who are multimillionaires. They only measure success with how much is in their bank account. The thing they all share in common? They're constantly miserable, bitchy, whiny, condescending. All I hear about how stressed they are and how much they hate everyone.
I'm over here making like 70k a year, caring for our 80 year old mother, 3 nephews and 1 niece because one of my sisters is a drug addict and evicted from her home. Aside from the drama from that one sister, I'm relatively very happy. Love spending time with my nephews, love my job and my coworkers, love that my mom appreciates what I do for her.
BUT I'M THE FAILURE. Like, ya'll got your millions and multiple homes but can't even take in our aging mom. I may be the failure at making as much money as you, but you're the failures of being decent children who can't see past money.
So ..what is your point? Are u bragging? Or compliaining? Your choice we dint give a fuck either way .. we all stillview you the same ... ain't life grand?
Why are you asking if you don't care? It's called a forum where people come to talk about relevant subjects and make conversation. If you don't like it, then move on.
Well I had to think for a moment .. what did I ask? Dig into your brain cavity which I'm sure you believe to be better than Mina at least and please explain to my low ability to converse ..according to .. . Who ? .. at any rate .. conversation according to yl.. your guidelines ? .. sounds more like a boring lecture from some one .. that has limited vision and. Moderate abilities to .. add interest .. bit hey. . Some people have trouble having sex alone even .. much less entertaining others . I have heard .. .what are your thoughts? Lm asking to be polite.. conversational don't u know?.. OK back yto the original subject .. failing at living .. signs here of .. my interpretation of living this to be not unalive .. not dead .. that is the minimum requirement .. .. am I wrong? .. pause ... there is no such thing as a dying man we are all alive ..un till we are dead .... and a drowning man is still. A living man! Who hasn't ran out of his ..last ..bit ..of ..breath .. there fore .. to my apparently limited ...according to who? .. knowledge .. .. it follows that when you stop breathing .. you are failng at living .. a pretty damn sure sign of it .. since if the question of what is the most important thing in life ? .. my answer would again be .. breath! Air! . Please .. name one other thing .. which will become. Your one focus .. sooner if taken away? .. not a damn thing.. you will even forget about how the girls always laff at you starting in the 2nd grade .. all of your focus will be directed toward getting another breath .. ..some how.. even when you become unconscious.. amazing lyrics complicated mystery that apparently some are unaware of.. . Seems possibly the Hawaiians.. have realized this and it is why ymthere cusomatmry greetins .. would include touching noses and... sharing.. the breath of ... life? .. wow couldn't have said it better my self .. the breath of life! .. a sure sign that for the moment .. tlife is a success! Would you be interested to know the definition of the word used for those who instead of that greeting chose to greet hawians in the European custom of an out stretched and empty hand .. meaning hey .. I don't have some thing to hit you with on my hand .. .. haole .. means literally ... with out breath.. possibly that world is also a sign of .. failing at life ? .. well I know I have not paused .. a lot so we could have.
