Reading some of the comments from Friday's post, I got to thinking how much we rely on money. I don't consider myself as someone who puts too much weight on money but the truth is, we all need it. For one thing or another. I don't really care to amass large amounts of cash but bottom line is I still need it to buy the necessities and I like to have it so that I can enjoy myself (books, movies, music...). And while most of the people I went to school with are concerned about how much money they make, I'm more concerned abour being happy. Sure, money is nice and it facilitates other things but in the end, it's not nearly as imporant as family and love - things that are FREE.

I think that Gene Rodenberry (I hope I spelled that right...) had it right. His moneyless society of the future is (what I think) where people need to go before we become truly "enlightened" individuals. Could you imagine not *having* to work just to survive but working at what you love because you choose to? Some people get to do this today heck, it's the only reason I'm going back to school. I want to wake up every morning and LOVE going to work.

Sorry guys. I realize I've kind of repeated myself. I'm blaming it on the drugs. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and this morning it hurt even more so I took some non-drowsy ContactC which is making me drowsy none the less. I'm feeling a bit high at the moment...and I only took one pill. I hate being sick.
