Productivity and the lie

MONDAY, 20 OCTOBER 2003

The primary motivations behind the choices and actions that define my daily life are, as I mentioned earlier, the concepts of PRODUCTIVE USE OF LIFE WHILE IT FLOWS IN YOUR VEINS and an accompanying AVERSION TO THE LIE.

Many will want to propagate the idea that to make as much money as you can is a beautiful example of PRODUCTIVE USE. I believe it only qualifies as such if you take actions with the money that will lead to significant improvement in your own life and preferably also the lives of other people.

Just making a lot of money and then focusing on pleasure and entertainment is by definition a waste of LIFE WHILE IT FLOWS IN YOUR VEINS. It can also, on a certain level, and as the result of an argument I am not going to make right now, be seen as a LIE.
