Yeah, you hit a nerve alright… my HYPOCRISY nerve. In the form of your comments. I “rely on movie quotes to justify my position of being greedy?” What planet are you on? I wasn’t relying on that quote to justify my position – just mentioning it to provide context because it’s well known. My position stands on its own; its justification is self-evident.
“GREED breeds ignorance because it causes you to not look at the fundamentals of a decision objectively. It is rooted in an insecurity somewhere along the line.”
Uh… what? Look, now you’re just making things up. That’s a bunch of self-manufactured psychobabble that any 8 year old could see through. If you’re going to just make stuff up, at least do a better job of it.
So, you are “a musician and I don’t write music and perform because of money, I do it because I find fulfillment in it at the end of the day.” Oh, I see… so YOU find fulfillment in it… so YOU engage in writing and performing music instead of, say… working at a non-profit to help the disadvantaged, or say, taking a job where you’d make more money so that you could give it away to charity. Sounds pretty greedy to me, contraman. Sounds like your life is all about YOUR FULFILLMENT. Greed isn’t just about money and material goods, contraman… you don’t understand that?
“and in case you are wondering I could buy all these things if I wanted to, it’s not that I am envious of rich people here.” Oh. My. God. You cannot be serious. Do you know how completely pathetic you sound?
There are two types of people in this world, contraman. Those that are greedy and admit it, and those that are greedy and don’t. I’m in the former group, you’re in the latter… with all the other hypocrites.
OK, off to Target, contraman. You said 3 for $10, right?
