    I think it can exist without reality. Because your reality exists only in your mind. However, what's the point of believe that? You are happier taking everything at face value and existing as mother nature intended you to exist. And she intended for you to pursue what makes people most happy. Family, wealth, and property I think sums it up mostly. With family comes love, with wealth comes security, and with property comes ownership. That's leaving aside your most basic needs of water, shelter, and food, which should always come first.

    I guess you do not see the non sequitur in that statement.
    Talk about a mobius strip in thought.

    Mushrooms, anyone?
    Because clearly you seem to be making up your own existence by your mind that has no reality.
    You are using terms to both deny and confirm at the same time.
     
    WesternPlains Thanks this.

    My son got a new Mercedes. It's even eco friendly, battery powered and made from recycled plastic. By 6 year olds in China.

    I went to my in-laws Christmas Eve my only day off. Christmas day I picked up 5 farms and took one load to the plant. The plant took 2 hours not too bad. Christmas is a pain in the rear end. I have two kids and it's an expensive holiday. I'm not broke but I have other major expenses in a few months. I have to get my house sided... It's overdo. I'm expecting that job to cost $7500 and I've got a little over 6k in savings. I need to keep saving so I have reserve funds.

    Life is expensive. The idea of Christmas is wonderful but it's been manipulated by big business and retail in such a way it's mostly about money now. Call me grinch I guess but I have so many more expenses in life that cannot be avoided.

    Above all else since I've been driving truck I've managed to reduce my debt load. I want my debt completely gone. It's not out of control I simply am tired of paying it.

    Barrowerer is slave to the lender. People that add debt over Christmas fall into a well devised trap. Very sad. I didn't spend a penny on visa or MasterCard this Christmas. 100% cash
