What an economically astute statement, you'd be a great employee.
In an capitalistically geared society, that is the general assumption. However, popular opinion does not make universal truth. I don't need money to tell me the worth of things- I can't put a value on my memories, my experiences, my likes and dislikes, I can't put a money sign on who I am. Doesn't matter if I'm rich or poor, i'd burn my money for friendship, love, or anything of real value. Money is something I have to live with to be a functioning and interactive member of society and that is where money becomes complicated..
Yea, I can definitely tell now that you either have trouble with understanding what you read or Amazon's summary didn't do the book justice (summaries never do..).

You'd have to elaborate more, there is lots in that book.
I couldn't agree more, stuff in red was said perfectly

It'd be pretty obvious if you DID read the book.. The kid does feed himself off of happiness, that is, the wild is the place where he can explore who he is and be happy; no money involved there... And whatever you said about travelling is cool, but it's not like you have to be a tycoon to get onto a plane.
Responding inside the quote is really annoying, as it makes it harder for me to quote you.
Okay, maybe I am missing your point. But that wouldn't be completely my fault with the ambiguity of the sentence I was responding to. What is "it?" If "it" is an egg, then I suppose I misjudged your intentions in that sentence's meaning. Other than that, I believed the "it" you were referring to is life's purpose, which I thought was complete BS, or the quote you were responding to would make no sense at all.
I didn't imply anything about you.
Logical inference /=/ assume
I agree that there is truth to most things, and you obviously didn't pick up on the key points of that book in the post of yours that I first responded to. Or you wouldn't be spouting garbage; do you really think that "Yes i've read it, he dies in the end.. etc.. Your point?" gives the book any credit?
So you're bringing them up for what reason? Claims about yourself are unsubstantiated and cannot be proven to me, so I don't see the reason you'd bring it up other than to talk about it.

So one man was happy. How does that change the world today? It really doesn't. I understand that you might be saying that this guy was totally happy without money. But I'm talking about the bigger picture, the greater majority, of people that are influenced by society, peers, and themselves that put the focus on money and 90% of the time, the focus is on money. The guy in the book needed money to buy some supplies and get where he was going. Did he need it after that? Not really. I'm saying you can't get far without a little money. In no way am I promoting it. Just stating whats out there.
And another thing, most things in this world require money. You can go off about having great families, friends, and other stuff like that. But would they be as great if you were all starving and on the brink of death?? Maybe, maybe not. You need money to get around. Money is what really gets it done. You can argue about good will, and service and a bunch of other stuff, but one thing that has been prominent throughout history, is the money. Most of the motives for countries' actions involved money. You don't have to accept what I'm saying, its not entirely appealing so its harder to agree with. You can tell me all about the greater side of life, about how there is "more out there" how there is something "greater to live for". But in reality there isn't. That is just something people strive for since its appealing, and since its appealing, it easier to accept and defend in an argument

Sheesh my bad, a little low on time.

"it" was referring to your posts. How I had a problem with them. You were implying that I read a book summary or that I could not interpret a book.

I didn't think this was about giving books credit.

I was proving that I do read and analyze.

I was talking about the subject "it" in this quote..
Eh...you haven't proved anything so far..
Yea, a book turned into a movie must have not imparted any wisdom to the world.. Anyways, proceed with thinking money money makes your well-being and happiness possible, tis good for the young upcoming capitalist! I would respond to the rest of your very comprehensive post, but sadly it's much too subtle for my small mind to register!

Yet again you mistaken me. First off, I don't see any real world change from that movie. Second of all, you yet again I assumed that I was all for the money by saying that it makes my well-being and happiness possible. That's not at all what I meant. Nevermind about that then..
and it meant "the world" i guess. Or people's motives..

Some woman wanted my jeans I was wearing =Z she then came back 15 mins later claiming she had asthma and needed money for a payphone even tho we had mobiles but apparently the person wouldn't pick up a call from a mobile but would from a random payphone
Anyway she was a true representative of Chavant lulz
