... to what end?
The quote of the day is "... to what end?". What does this mean. Well I've often thought about the meaning of life and so I was wondering out loud, "What if I had a shit load of money? Would it improve my life?" What would I do with it? So let's say I have some money and I buy this new Apple iPhone? Did it really make my life that much better? Am I all of a sudden that much better off and happier cuz I got this stupid fucking thing called an iPhone? Probably not. "... to what end?"
What if I liked drugs and partying and I threw a party with a bunch of friends and we had a bunch of hookers and cocaine? After the euphoria of partying died off, I would be in the same place/condition as I was before the partying. Partying ... to what end?
I do like travelling so if I had a bunch of money, I would probably go and travel the world. But after I finished travelling the world, what would I do next? Travelling ... to what end?
What are the constant things in my life that won't change; things that have no end? These things are: my family, my friends, my beliefs, and my job (note that jobs do change but working does not change). These things have no end. But these other tangible things/items, they all have an end.
But don't get me wrong, I do think that money is important. Money buys security and it buys these little fucking electronic trinkets that we think we need in order to improve our way of life.

I have to agree that you need money in life. No money = no game = no ho ho hos!
but if you had money... you could do all those things... and do them till the end you got tired of them... and if you did it right, you wouldn't lose your head and could maintain your family life, your beliefs, ethics, and your job!!! :-P
