I am reminded of a saying from a wise old friend years ago...
"There was a time when we would Love people and use things...
Now we use people and love things."
My how the world has turned...yet some of us keep hoping.
I wish we all would place less importance on sports players and their outrageous salaries or hundreds of millions of dollars. Good grief!
Why do some people place such a high price on a piece of crystalline carbon (a diamond), or any other natural gems or minerals? You can't eat them (with any good results and for no good purpose, yet they keep buying them to show off.
Why must the masses insist on having a brand-named product? They walk around carrying that company logo on their shirt, pants, shoes, sweatshirts, hats, etc., yet they are not paid for the Free Advertising they now do for those companies.
Why should I keep the car dealer's name/info on the back of my vehicle when again, I am basically providing free advertising for that dealer? If I was getting compensated in some form, it might be different but most are never compensated.
Competition can be challenging and fun but things have simply gotten out of hand. Now a sports scholarship will end up paying off much better than a college degree in many cases. We're heading in the wrong direction.
Sorry, friend...just venting a bit!!
Be safe!!
