My dick is bigger than yours

No matter how great you are at something, there will always be someone better at it than you. Always. Everyone is replaceable. You are not the best stockbroker, writer, real-estate agent, accountant, bartender, entrepreneur, programmer, drug-dealer, loan shark, baseball player, lawyer, doctor, singer, politician, teacher, driver, publicist, actor, musician, director, or salesperson. Whatever you are, there's someone better at it than you. And you shouldn't give a shit. Striving to be the best at something, while admirable, is pointless. You should always try your best, but effort should not be confused with achievement. No matter how hard I try, there will always be a bigger asshole than me. No matter how many needles you put in your ass, there will always be someone bigger than you. What's the point of all this? Good question. Did you know I am an ordained minister? I can legally perform baptisms and weddings. The point I'm trying to make is if you compare yourself to others, you will never be satisfied and achieve true happiness. This dickhead I know recently said to me, "When I was 18, I always pictured myself driving a Ferrari to my high school reunion." Imagine your self worth being dependent upon the valuation of your former high school classmates. Jesus Christ, I couldn't give less of a fucking shit whether I see anyone from high school again, let alone what they think about the car I drive. We always seek our parents approval but that's irrelevant too. At age 27, if you're relying on your parents for survival, you should be taken out back and shot. You bring nothing to the table. You are a hinderance to the evolutionary process. Life can boiled down to three elements:

Birth
Chase after money
Death

If being born was optional, and that was the way life was presented, I think I would choose the alternative. And I have no idea what that alternative is. Of course there's other factors in that equation, like childhood, relationships, career, marriage, having kids. . .but all that shit falls into the chase after money category. You were born poor, you will want money. If you were born rich, you will want money. It takes money to live. Without money, you'll be like that homeless dude you ignored on your way into work. Life is too short for all that bullshit. Indulge every whim. Fuck it. You wanna make sure your family is taken care of when you die? Why can't they take care of themselves? I know if and when I have kids that I will want them to have everything they ever wanted, but at some point, you must be self sufficient. Everyone else has to be. If you are a tiger that takes too long to wean, the daddy tiger will kill you because you will try to fuck your mother. That's a hell of a metaphor. We come into this world alone and we leave it alone. The only thing that can't be taken away is the experiences you've had. If you had a good time, does it really matter if a dude you graduated with has a Ferrari? Odds are, your dick is bigger.
