      You incarnate into a rich family just in time for global economic collapse because of the actions of your family.

    “Free”

    Both my parents retired. Are they living it up? Are they checking things off their bucket lists? Nope. They’re having emergency surgeries, planned surgeries, going to the doctor all the time, taking a regiment of pills or they die, and hanging around the house because they’re old and their mobillity isn’t great.

    A just reward after a lifetime of work.

    It’s a scam, friends. You’re going to work until you’re dead or until it doesn’t really matter anymore whether you’re dead or not.

    Don’t mistake this as me saying this work-til-you-die shit is okay, cause it’s not. But freedom is as much a mindset as it is a material circumstance. There are people who have everything but freedom and there are people who have nothing but freedom.

    How selfish of you to deny your fortune to be able to contribute to the wealth of the chosen few!

    This framework fails to consider all the time between those main activities, which we spend shitposting.

      Indeed, most days consist of 8 hours working, 8 hours sleeping and 8 hours shitposting.

    Free? That’s when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards…

    The meaning is to live life and enjoy as much as you can along the way.

    I’m going to leave my kids more than my parents will leave me, and more than their parents left them, and hopefully they’ll be shaped with better ideals because of me.

    Study never stops though. So technically study would be 60yrs. Shit, I studied more in the US Coast Guard than in school!

    The Beatles had the meaning of life in a song back in the day- Life Goes On

    That’s it, it just goes on
