Minor Rant

I read someone’s status saying: ”The proud owner of a brand new Audi A3 S-line!”, wow! You’re proud of buying a fucking car!? Are your achievements in life so few that the purchase of a piece of metal on wheels are an object for your pride in yourself. How low is the self-esteem in one who sees merit in the simplest act of commerce? – Don’t worry, I know what it’s really about; it’s really all about: ”Hey, look at how much fucking money I got.”, that’s great. But how come there are plenty of people who make a lot of money who don’t need to validate themselves through public flaunting of consumption.

I pity the fool that has done so little in their lives; they reach some state of self-aggrandizement through ”I bought this expensive car, look at me! I’m special”. Fuck you, fuck you and your shallow ass life. And everyone like you. Be proud of accomplishing something instead. Tell me about how you through knowledge and perseverance earned your first million. Not how you inherited a bunch of money and managed to wave your credit card at someone with twice your IQ. The standards for being proud of oneself seem to grow ever lower. And still, all the people with actual talents walk around out there not believing in themselves, still, with an ocean of accomplishments; the most important one being humility.
