People are suffering the world over and I write poetry and look after an apartment and some birds. I do not have the awareness to solve the worlds’ problems and it never happens the way we think it will transpire.

Where I live the people are rich.

An average home cost a million dollars and the area is being flooded by rich Chinese immigrants.

I barely know anyone and this is where I grew up. For many this is a safe place or better said an end point, in what Fukuyama calls the adventure of capitalism and now ...rich suburbs, gated communities, private resorts, private islands, private health clubs, private, private, private…

entry allowed only to those who can afford it, regardless                                     of accumulation which is often through no effort of their own.

As Zizek mentions,

news walls are being built, new apartheids formed, people are being exploited as the minority has the majority

the ideology has the answer for many problems but not this one

the environment-- leave it to the markets

intellectual property rights-- leave it to the lawyers

bioenergetics—leave it for the professors

confuscious taught we live our lives with parameters firmly set by heaven

Buffets says cigarettes are a good investment                                                     or what he does is invest in the future of an addict

which generally means a consistent out come.

If you smoke at 34 good chance you’ll be smoking at 44.

ego id super ego, I never really understood this

ego means I in latin,

id means it and

super ego means super i.

with awareness comes motivation with awareness…

with capitalism you want a guarantee and the only guarantee you get is the more capital the more freedom thus assuaging of the super ego or the over I…

is that true?

we all want security and capitalism offers that with individuality thrown into the mix and we all got to go sometime  

the stock market keeps going up.
