Words to LIVE by.

We are confronted every single day about the inequities of wealth distribution.  Some have a lot, some have near nothing.  

Some call that "tough nuggies."  Others, like the dodos who voted for Momdami in New York City, want to storm the battlements and sieze other peoples' stuff.

Jeffey Bezos has a $500,000,000 yacht.  And a wife with fat lips.  And gigondo teats.  You don't.  And your wife, don't.  Should you be pissed?  How about Elon and his 5, count 'em, FIVE personal jets.  All the way up to a Gulfstream G-700.  Costing a mere $76 Mil.  And those hedge fund managers with their private islands.  And movie stars with $Multi-Million Dollar homes.  It's just not fair!  

Excepppppt, I'm here to deliver some good news, fellow Patriots!  I'd like you to start thinking about it differently.  Start thinking about it this way...

     -  If you don't take an expensive vacation to a tony island resort, and swim in the ocean, you'll never get eaten by a shark.  

     -  If you don't drive a Bugatti, you won't have to pay $25,000 for an oil change.

     -  If you don't own a Cybertruck, you won't be burned to a crisp when it won't let you open the doors.

     -  If you don't fly, you won't crash and burn.

     -  If you don't skydive, your chute will never fail to open.  

     -  If you don't have credit cards, they'll never be stolen.  (After which, in my case, the perp bought $176.00 of wings at Wing Stop.)

     -  If you can't afford a car, you'll save a fortune on registration, insurance, gas/electricity, and maintenance and repair.  Plus, you won't perish in a firey car wreck.

     -  If you don't own a home, the state and county cannot rape you blind with property taxes.  And your county can't bankrupt you with water and electricity bills.  And Jeff, from State Farm, can't take you for a ride on your home insurance premiums.

     -  If you can't afford a ticket to the football/ basketball/baseball game, you won't have to pay $50.00 to park your car, and be so disappointed if your team loses.

     -  If you can't afford to eat out, you won't be embarrassed over the size of the tip you leave.

     -  If you're afraid of finding Bigfoot, don't go camping in the forrest.

     -  If you don't want to be stabbed, shot, mugged or carjacked, the FBI tells us you should live in a town of less than 56,500 residents.  Making you 9 x more likely to live through the day.

All of the activities mentioned above cost money.  Some of them cost lots and lots and lots of money.  And you don't have any.  Now then, congratulate yourself on avoiding all the sturm and drang associated with buying and owning and insuring and protecting all that stuff.  You don't need it, it'll just bog you down, and everybody will be jealous of you. 

Some will even wish to harm you to get all your stuff, and you'll never again be sure your friends are really your friends, or is it just because you have all that stuff.  

Go to sleep tonight knowing you're among the lucky ones.  The ones who aren't famous, or rich, or forced to pay big beefy guys to protect you and your family from roving gangs of stuff stealers.
