equating $ to time.

is one of the many tell-tale signs society is in the process of degradation.

When you think of the countless things you can achieve with the luxury of time (hearing the last few words of a beloved before he/she passes on, having an epiphany on a 17 year old problem, reconciling with people who mean something to you, sharing a laugh with your best friend, feeling the freedom of forgiveness from a life-long grudge you had against someone...and the list goes on..) simply equating the value of it all to a single and utterly inadequate form of power, money, is just.... not right.
for one, you cheapen the value of time and all that it can be achieved in it... no actually you are saying all those moments in life can be bought, which is not even logical because it is not even possible.
Secondly, you cheapen the equals sign (=) because it is NOT equal.

When we live with the mentality, (get caught up with the motions of the day... of work... of productivity... of capitalist mindsets) that time is money period, you are really reducing yourself to a mere factor of production to the economy.
You are, by choice, reducing yourself to a system that is inherently flawed, a system you most likely would not agree with (unless you are not poor).
You are, in short, closing up the number of ways in which you can live life.
& there are so many ways you can live life, but sometimes we get caught up with the generic flow of things.
we let the majority, establishment and major events dictate the way in which we live our lives.
why?

are not all man created equal and free? (sounds so declaration of indep of U.S)
why are we surrendering our freedom up to a cause we do not even like?
it is like purposely enslaving yourself to serve a person whom you absolutely hate, and yes we are doing this willfully just because, we look around and that is what everyone seems to be doing, no?

I mean, if not, you would not be normal right? that is normal right??
working hard, getting rich, having a stable family, living 'the life' and then you die.
doing otherwise would be.... crazy, no?

who is the real crazy?
the one who lives out of honesty and is perceived to be crazy or the one who lives out of fear and pretense just so he/she can be perceived as normal?
