Some are better at controlling themselves than others.

I could never understand why people worked, let alone worked their whole lives away. I designed my life so I didn't have to. And what work I did was good. Music, roofing, and making rich people give me their money. Along the way I've been shocked to discover old men who just couldn't leave well enough alone. Two come to mind. One was an asshole with 20,000 acres across the street from my last property. He just couldn't stop himself from clearcutting the trees, even against my pleas. Another just had to subdivide land. Take a beautiful ranch and chop it up for the yuppie creeps to put their McMansions. (I didn't mention, both these men were almost 90 years old.)

And why? Maybe they just couldn't stop and do nothing. Maybe they were thinking of passing on to their kids.

When I made enough money to start living without working too much, I worked as little as possible. Sure I could have been wealthy. But I got what everyone wants. Time. Time and beauty are all we have besides health. And I'm sickened to see beauty on it's way down the drain.

I just had to rant. I'm so angry. I'm so sick of what has happened. And if you really want a rant, just start me on why everyone need kids.
