What is it that happens to people when they age? It seems that most people just get progressively dumber as they rack in those years. We start to over-think, rationalize stupidity, and lose all common sense. When we are kids we believe things that "seem" and FEEL right. As adults we go into a whirlwind of questions and doubts about the simplest decisions. Someone made such a brilliant point the other day: only adults get into a situation such as a credit card with 25% apr, knowingly. If you tell a kid you will give him candy but they will have to give you candy plus 25% on top of that back, they will look at you like you've lost your mind.
We have, indeed, lost our minds. Lost what matters most. Lost a sense of right. Lost our basics. We have to keep it simple. All the bullshit that surrounds us is made for distraction and complicating our lives. Rid yourself of the superficial and air becomes easier to breathe. If you can't afford to buy everyone in your family Christmas presents, don't get yourself in credit card debt, or neglect necessities just because your pride won't let you be honest with everyone and with yourself. Your honesty and humbleness is gift enough.
Just my two cents on de-stressing this holiday season.
Getting our little tree tomorrow. I'm happy to have my family and small circle of friends to share this holiday season.
