That's a pretty special world you live in.

This one is a little confusing though:

"We value money more than real things"

What do "We" do with this money that "We" value so much?

Do we stuff our mattress with it and sleep good or do we spend it on real things?

Fact is "We", which does not include me, have spent the money in advance for real things and are in the process of making the money to pay for them.

I think the real problem is "We" which again does not include me, want more and more real things which results in an cycle of earning and spending.

Fortunately I was never in that loop. I believe in working toward what you really want, not just attaining it first and then struggling to pay for it while discovering you need more.

You are welcome to the rest of your sentiments and I respect them but it seems to me you would be happier as a Tibetan Monk sitting and meditating all day and chanting OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ;->
