“ Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy things we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. ”
― Fight Club
Are we really cashing our dreams? Yes, we are!
Unfortunately, our dreams are usually something what we can buy, if we earn enough money, and that is why now, excpet our dream things, we have dream job, and we will not get our dream job, if we do not have our dream diploma.
Do we really need all those expensive things to be happy?
Imagine this.
You have your diploma, and you got your dream job, you are working 14 hours every single day, except Sunday. You are living in your big house, you have a big pool in the bach yard. You are driving the new Ferrari. You are eating expensive food, that of course, you are buying in restaurant near your house, because, you do not have time to prepare it. You are wearing expensive clothes, but usually at work, because, you usually go only to work, you are working hard, and you do not have free time. When you get to your big house from home, you do not swim in your pool, because you are too tired.
On Sundays, you are going to see your friends, and while you are witrh them, you are checking your phone all the time, maybe something connected to your job will appear on the screen. Your friends are also business people, and they are talking only about their dream jobs, and about their expensive things.
When you get home in the Sunday evening, you go to your big bedroom, and you are sleeping in your anatomy bed, alone. You do not have time to go on dates, and even if you are married, your partner is as tired as you are. He, or she does not have energy to talk to you, or to cuddle with you.
When you have kids, they attend the private schools, and they are studying how to be business people. Busy people. Tired people. Lonely people.
We are constantly afraid that we will lose something we have. Our job, our car, our home...
Is this reallyu what we want, to live in fear?
“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.”
-Figth Club
When we do not have anything, we do not have anything to lose, and we are toally free.
I am not trying to tell you that you should leave everything you have and live on the street. What I am trying to say, is that you do not need expensive car or big house to be happy. We need to be loved, to have good friends.
And, even if we lose something, we need to know that tomorrow is the new chance.
You can always earn new money, buy new house... You cannot buy new love, new friend, new memory...
Do not let all those things pass by you!
