| | |
| | "humanistic goals" does not equate to "freedom". |
| | |
| | money, on both ends of the spectrum, can make you a prisoner - too much |
| | or too little, and youre a prisoner of it. too little, and youre always |
| | desperately |
| | trying to get ahold of some of it - too much, and you tend to become |
| | obsessed with only getting more. |
| | |
| | and both " If you don't have enough money to pay your bills you're a |
| | prisoner." and "Every human being to some extent seeks to be comfortable." |
| | generalizations, mind you. |
| | |
| | in many cases, having a lot of money permits one to be unconcerned with |
| | the true workings of the world around you. |
| | |
| | me, i prefer to have enough money that im not stretched, but not so much |
| | that i can be extravagant. just how much money that is, i dont know. |
