I want to be rich...
I want to be rich so when I do bizarre things people can shrug their shoulders and say: "well, that's Seeker, he got all that money and went weird". We make allowances for rich/famous people being odd. It used to be enough to be English to be eccentric, that's now old hat and you need money ...
...like, say Gwyneth Paltrow who seems a little unhinged at times exhibit a: https://shop.goop.com/shop/products/...pire-repellent "Spray around the aura to protect from psychic attack and emotional harm." ... so, it's like pepper spray? |

Re: I want to be rich...
She's not weird at all. She sells stuff that makes money. And is therefore rich.
Doesn't matter what she sells - only that people buy it.

Not fussed about being rich, I'd settle for not being skint.

I'd end up with 30 dogs, 80 cats, several fields of rescued cows, pigs, sheep, hens... and still have no space to move and no money or time. And not really make a dent in the issue. I'm not religious but the phrase about the rich man, camel, eye of a needle thing does make a lot of sense imho.

Re: I want to be rich...
Money can't buy you happiness, but it gives you a lot more options to avoid being miserable.

Re: I want to be rich...
People think differently when they have a lot of money. It becomes a game rather than a matter of survival.
Look at all these high profile divorce cases, where there's a loaded couple fighting over dividing their assets. Neither will come anywhere near starving in any outcome but because the problems obviously started at home, both don't want to give more than they absolutely have to. It's more about pride than money.

Getting back to Gwyneth, more of her thoughts... 1) to get rid of parasites and heavy metal (!) drink goats milk for 8 days (nope, Ozzy's still here) 2) bee sting facials are good for you (probably not for the bee though) 3) for the ladies: put stone eggs in your vagina (I saw a stripper do that with a chicken egg, does that count?) 4) talk nicely to water - don't upset its feelings (there are no words) Yet, she looks so normal. |
