You and Mazanec keep avoiding the point. I'm willing to be
"interesting" as long as possible, but if I run out of my money then
if I'm even still alive, then I definitely won't be interesting. I'll
be bitchy, miserable, angry, in pain, suicidal, and even more nasty
and argumentative than I am now. I'll be pathetic, and definitely not
interesting. This is a serious situation, not a joke about being
"interesting."
Hey, I actually LIKE bitchy miserable angry pain ridden suicidal nasty argumentative interesting people!
..well, as long as I can get sufficiently far enough away from them when I'm tired of their negativity, of course.
And isn't THAT what the internet is all about!? Pokin' the nasty bear, and then easily running away to safety?
That's what MY internet is all about, at any rate.
I believe yours is a serious situation,.. for you. It's NOT a serious situation for anyone else, and it shouldn't be. When my "situation" becomes "serious" such that I'll have much better things to do than posting to a blog on the internet, then you won't hear from me as I'll be,.. well doing better things, like it says on the tin.
But, you ARE an interesting person, and I happen to believe that you'll ALWAYS be an interesting person, 'though you MAY become an oppressively obnoxious person (as anyone MAY become) and have "better" things to do than displaying your interesting side any longer.
So, if not having sufficient funds can transform you into some sort of "monster", then have fun with that.
And I'm serious about the "fun" part of that last sentence. Every single "monster" of a person I've ever known, whose monstrousness was caused by "lack of funds" took relish, enjoyment, in inflicting themselves on their fellow human beings in a sort of revenge filled orgy of indiscriminate payback.
...but I don't think that's your problem. You're WAY more creative than that.
The point isn't that you need money. The point is that you SHOULD (a word I really don't like much) arrange your inner world so as to accept that your happiness is dependent on nothing more than your wanting it badly enough, regardless of the circumstances.
At some point in nearly every day my mind wanders off to the idea that I've just survived a nazi death camp and am hobbling out the front gate. My only possession being happiness.
..all else is gravy.
