Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

If this wasn't 2025 I would have thought this image was satire it's so overtly toxic and stupid.

Yet here we are.

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you're able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you've not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

Aka take joyrides in other people's Lambos, then ditch the car, but NOT AT YOUR HOME.

Yeah, and I think that is tied to a subconscious need for good things to be permanent.

I think that truly internalizing the temporary nature of literally everything is an important part of getting to the mindset you’re talking about.

You won't be accumulating anything without building vital relationships.
