Because there's no amount of money that can compensate for non-monetary stuff like this.
But by all means people. Keep slaving away for that mortgage.

That graphic was 'inspired' by Watterson, but lifted from the artists' website.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a Bill Watterson comic. It is actually from the comic strip "Zen Pencils."
ReplyDeleteThe text is by Bill Watterson, but the illustrations are by Zen Pencils. There's more about the cartoon here: http://zenpencils.com/comic/128-bill-watterson-a-cartoonists-advice/
ReplyDeleteLife truly is more than stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not the car you drive.
You are not the clothes you wear.
You are not how much money you have in the bank.
Like Jesus said..
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
That comic was inspired by a talk Watterson gave years ago but was created by the site Zen Pencils. Watterson did recently give a rare interview.

I work primarily for a corporation and almost all the other employees I know have families. We don't particularly drink much and there is plenty of time to work on outside interests. It is also common to work from home or other locations.
ReplyDeleteI would say there are bad employers and good employers including partnerships and so on. Even if you work for yourself you could become dependent on demanding clients.
This seems to contradict your worthless book. I want to major in whatever I want after that reading that comic.
ReplyDeleteThere is truly a lifetimes worth of Truth in this little cartoon. Its always good to remember that life is about living for your loved ones and your talents; not the vain pursuits of a dying world.

ReplyDeleteI wish my mom thought like this Cappy cap. It hurts when you don't get enough time with them and when you're an emotional kid (now millennial young adult)that needed more.
