for how long would i keep trading my soul to bondage?
because i have to live up to others expectations, i can never live out my own choices.
and people will always judge your choices as irresponsible and selfish to bent you to acquiesce to meet their own demands.
And i am sorry that while in the middle of that, i may have profited from the bargain by choosing to deal... maybe because humans can't seem to walk away from that one-time gratification, relief from stress and pain, fifteen minutes of fame, anything that is glittery... the deal was never an equal exchange, the lure is irresistible but you've paid for more than what its worth.
"This is the story about us, being persuaded to spend money we don't have on things we don't need in order to create impressions which won't last on people we don't care about. - Tim Jackson
Do you need wealth, do you need sex? Some of it, but it does not rule your life.
Sometimes you gotta ask yourself the real reason behind the goals and dreams that you have and wonder if it for things that you are paying too huge a price for. It as simple as humans' choice for high-caloric foods and high-sugar, habits today that are maladaptive, habits that evolved at a time when such choices were scarce and we unconsciously magnify the value of these items that drive our impulses MORE than dirt.
this greed that may have served your genes well to transcend successive generations, may be the vulnerability that will make you easy prey to whoever understands to make use of you.
sometimes the face of evil is your greatest education and your greatest redemption.
