thought of the day, 2 8 2015
when things exist JUST to make money, instead of to do “what they actually are supposed to do-”
you’re fucked.
such as healthcare as way to make money, instead of a way to, you know, provide healthcare so that people can be healthy.
or music as way to make money, instead of… you know, a way to play music and make music and enjoy music, instead of just making garbage, calling it music, and selling it to ignorant or stupid people with bad taste. OOH OUCH yes… YEs…smile emoticon ;);)
or clothes, as a way to make money, instead of, you know, provide people with clothes so that they aren’t cold, n shit.
or phones, as a way to communicate, instead of, you know, a way to sell people the most unnecessary and expensive (and distracting) device POSSIBLE, with all this excess garbage that nobody needs, instead of, you know, to just communicate.
or higher education, as a way to make money, instead of, you know, a way to teach people and a way for people to learn interesting and useful things.
or streaming movie things, as a way to make money, instead of, you know, just charging people for what they want when they want it, and not charging them a high rate per month, whether they are using it or not (thanks to that, I don’t see movies at all anymore, pretty much.)
or attitudes towads our bodies and sex, as way to make money, instead of, you know, a way to love and be loved and have sex and be happy.
or sports, as way to make money, instead of, you know, a way to, like, play sports and enjoy them and enjoy life.
so, yeah… somethin’s real fucked up with that.
but THANKFULLY, it’s not entirely my problem.
I know this stuff, and when I make music, it’s for the right damn reason. I’m gonna die some day, so I’ll make music for the right reason now.
that’s good enough. it has to be.
