the cycle

There is something calming about watching the city wind down just at dusk. The way the pink sky accents the headlights of cars as they pass by on their weary drive home to relax. Then I think about what I have accomplished today. I think about how I got a raise at work and how I am moving along in this world. Moving along. That's all we are doing like chess pieces in a game that cannot go on forever. We start out in a social integration mechanism called school. Then some of us move to a college or start out working a job. Then you realize that money is everything. It's what drives life, but not the best life. We could be putting our time and energy into taking care of our environment or other people, but we spend time making money to satisfy our own needs and wants. We make it, spend it, make it, spend it. It's this neverending cycle that drives me insane. I HATE MONEY.
