Stuff



The longer I live the more convinced about how meaningless it all is.

When youre at the end of your life?
None of it's gonna matter to you.
You'll be lucky to be able to use most of it.
Or to be able to get on a ladder and get it down off the shelf.
Spend your whole life just trying to get everything for yourself.

Then?

It just doesn't matter anymore.
Nobody's gonna want it.
Not much of it anyway.
It will be out of date.
Out of style.
Nobody will have room for it
Nobody's gonna want to take the time to come and get it.

People spend their whole lives accumulating stuff.
Mostly to show off to others seems like.
"Hey, look what I got you don't."
Same on social media.

Then if by some strange happenstance you end up with greater wealth than them?
They don't wanna come around you anymore.

People end up with more than what they can take care of.
Have to start downsizing.
Selling it off.
So what good did it do you?
Other than you got to enjoy it for a lil while?

I agree with the love of my life.
Id rather have adventures than stuff.
Particularly with her :-).

Ecclesiastes 1: 1-3


Everything Is Meaningless

1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
    says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless.”
3 What do people gain from all their labors
    at which they toil under the sun?
