the truth, however, is that this actually applies to all, that everyone
has an equal chance and it's just that some are more buried in the mire
than others are, the more invested one is in that mire is the more it captures your time & attention, the less you have (the poorer you are)
being the easier it is to let go because you ain't carrying that much to begin with, that less is more is actually true in that sense and for that very reason... the wealthy being far too busy with other pursuits to even care live-on in their ivory towers, or their "just cages with golden bars"
as charles bukowski once said heh...

how true :)

be that as it may you wind up playing anyways don't ya?

"they say it can't be won. the way the game is run.
but if you choose to stay you wind up playing anyway".

### - well, ya have to kinda play without playing innit hehe ;)

e.g., am personally very playful, but i ain't fuckin' about lol... (j/k)

life, otoh, is a play, and we are all actors strutting our stuff upon the
stage for around 15 cosmic minutes or so...

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

(lol @ told by an idiot, signifying nothing haha...)

yup, that's us alright: the human race!

so immersed in the 'local' story of their lives they don't see the real
thing passing them by...

why 'pretend' that we know what we're doin' when we don't?

lol it's hard work pretending all the time!

especially when ya don't even realise you're pretending heh...

they've built a whole pretend world! ;)

a world of purely mechanical aims & goals, of endless work towards such goals...

a soulless existence...

and poor little street urchins (like us) all dreaming hopeless dreams

well there has to be better than that, and there is! like buddha reckoned:
it's already in us all albeit buried under a pile of shite... thus he recommended getting in-touch with it via meditation & contemplation, by
opening oneself up to it to see what it does and what then happens to
one's world-view...

skip ahead 2600 years, and they've turned summat simple into yet another religion, fancy robes and everything!

what we need is some fresh chicken! :D
