i dont understand this at all

i was just at a friends house gettin high as hell, and his roommate and her friends turned up.. then my mate fell asleep so i was in a room with a load of ppl i didnt know.. we smoked some more, then got into a discussion about the nature of existence, that kinda thing

anyway it pretty much ended up like this.. they all believe, and agree, that our sole reason for existence is to earn money.. they think thats why we're all on the planet.. they also think that earnin money is more important than actually living, and that there is nothin more important in society than money and thats how it should be.. this has depressed me slightly, because i know so many fuckin people think the same way.. anyway, what ya'll think? peace

Money = Survival.

It's a cruel world man. If we didn't have money, we would still be hunting & gathering.

The purpose of life is to pursue happiness, but at the same time survive.

its a shame money drives our way of life.
one day (with money) ill get a big place and go feral. shut the gate and never look back (except to pay council rates).
(and other taxes)
(and to sell some weed for some money to buy...shit..)
back to square one. :rolleyes:

I say life was better before money, when we were hunter/gatherers.

you mean hunter/gatherer/gardeners? im sure they used to smoke that homegrown back then.. :p

do you live in the US? sounds like it.. haha. the people you were talking to sound like the result of the capitalist mini-world we have going here (in the US).. money has as much importance as man puts on it.. which, sadly enough.. is a lot right now. but i dont think that the reason for our existance has anything at all to do with money.. money is a product of our greed and inability to share what was given to us.

but yeah.. i agree with what a lot of people here are saying.. in today's world.. surviving without money is almost implossible.

It is a shame that we have replaced god with money. now i am not religous or anything but even the church seems to care more about their annual buggets than their persuit of the faith they chose to serve. And there is so much more to life than the prsuit of money..... have u all forgot the most important of all pursuits....LOVE OF WEED... come on yal!!!

yea, surviving without money is impossible, and it fuckin sucks.. naw i dont live in the US, im in the UK, but it aint much different

im gonna work my balls off for X amount of years, and retire somewhere away from money, politics and religion, with just me, my buddies, my wife (hillary duff or britney spears, i havent planned that far ahead) and my bud :)
