Fuck the Jonses

in #life6 years ago

 Just don't understand how people think that wealth is the gateway to happiness! Yeah, I know its cool to cry on a fucking Ferrari than to cry on the subway. But that's not how life works! If you are sad then you are fucking sad... it doesn't matter where you cry, on the Ferrari or behind a trashcan!

There's always two version of us we been known since a child.

  1. The true self: When nobody is watching you.
  2.  The pretending self: Just to keep up with the Joneses.

The gateway to happiness is to love your process, whether it creates wealth or doesn't... whether it creates a legacy or doesn't.... or whether it impacts on the world or doesn't ... you gotta try & figure that out at all cost. 
If you are not happy right now, you need to do something else ... break your patterns, view the life from a different perspective, different angle. 


We see people doing everything from buying clothes to buying homes with an extra bedroom that they don't really need to the million other unnecessary things... just to keep up with the Joneses? 

The thick line of respect that parents in Asia have with their kids is the reason why they are so bad at parenting. They care about their friend's opinion on the kid more than the kid's own happiness ..... Just to keep up with the Joneses?


Fuck the Joneses! 


Sometimes I get so frustrated inside I literally go mad just to express my feelings .....  Just don't get me wrong if want to buy a Ferrari, smoke weed in the beach of Bahamas... this article is not for you! you are probably working hard to make your dream come true because that's where you find your happiness! 

And if you guys are still wondering who the hell this Joneses are ? LOL Here it is.
