Yeh but when you're poor it's often your number 1 problem

So I call solving that... How do you say it... Progress?

Video games, books, music, camping, animals, and nature provide plenty of pleasure and cost very little.
Bull****. We have an entire civilization telling you how to be, what to think, and what your goals should be. "Figure it out ur damn self" is a ****ing lie. Society tells you only how to be something that benefits society and if that isn't something that benefits you then society is an enemy.

Dear god you're basic. Why not just kill yourself if the only problem to solve is to not be poor. That's such an empty problem with such an empty solution that ignores 99% of the human mind.

OMG I have desires other than not being poor, what a privileged **** I am.

Fair enough I just don't think you actually understand what it means to be worried about keeping a roof over your head

And i don't know what it's like to be middle class and still worry about not having culture or a sailboat or whatever it is :p

Well when I was your age I was traveling around the world doing ****. Now I’m tired. I’m not even trying to be woe is me. I’m just saying at this point I don’t mind being idle. Malaise sinks in without pills though.

I understand that satisfying that need doesn't make you happy or else the middle class would be a bunch of happy people and not a bunch of just normal people. So what the **** is the point of our current culture? If you're just being (hopefully) funneled into an economic bracket that won't make you any more fulfilled then why are we considering the middle class something desirable? Shouldn't we be figuring out something more productive to funnel the poor into when they work their way up?

since you edited...

I didn't say only problem. I said number 1 problem.

I don't pretend to have the answers to what it takes be happy or whatever

I don't even worry about it. I know I can do better than this. One step at a time.

If you think society is so useless than stop reaping the benefits of living in one and make ur life better without it. Doing things that benefit society make society better for everyone. I thought that was pretty obvious. Youre just too caught up in enjoying your misery.
