Why bother. I suspect dreamer dreamt of a better life and still lives the same miserable one he’s lived for years - no property hike, no big car, no big holiday. He is angry and wants to blame something for his own personal inadequacies - he’s not alone on here.
Not particularly. Stopped wanting a big/expensive car a long time ago. Don't particularly enjoy holidays either - I get bored. I'll admit I'd have loved the opportunity to design my own house but given the arsehole I'd have had to have been to get enough funding to do so it's something I can live without - I don't need it.
I'm far more pissed off at the shitshow that this world continues to be based on greed and people like you with a 'bugger you Jack, I'm alright' attitude. It's failed in the past, it's failing now and it will fail in the future yet because those in control don't suffer due to it it never changes. I know it could be better than this.
The only way I envy you is that you've clearly never been in a situation where you've had to reassess what matters and so been able to concentrate on the materialistic side of life. In some ways I'd love to still have such an ignorant view - ignorance is bliss - but far more I pity you not being able to see the beauty and potential beyond your own little world.
Not long ago I remember you mentioning about the travesty of care homes and I guess that's because it was something that you actually had to experience yourself, possibly for an ageing parent. So you could see it when it affected you and were outraged, despite the fact you've spent a lifetime voting for the people that underfund the sector and made it like it is. Well that shit is across the board and affects people everyday. Of course I wish you no ill will or poor health but for all you know you could suffer a life changing event tomorrow that your lifetime of trying to accumulate money and possessions will mean nothing.
