Favor for a Favor
Here is a philosophy that i think everyone should adopt; its called the favor for a favor optional payback program. I really think growing up without money made me realize how unimportant cash really is. Don't get me wrong, it comes in really handy but if joe rogan was pressuring me to eat horse vomit for 50 grand im pretty sure i would break his fucking hip and by pretty sure i mean positive. Money really isn't much of an incentive for me i guess. Neither are possessions. I don't keep a checkbook balance, my money is scattered throughout pockets of jackets, pants, or lying around on my desk. I leave my door unlocked most of the time knowing that people respect me enought that they wouldn't steal from me but if they did i really wouldn't be that upset, it just means that either they need the money more than i do which i am ok with or they just want to go to hell. However i guess stockpiling money caries an equal moral risk. Just something to keep in mind. Knowing this it really bothers me when people keep track of what other people owe them. One concept that i have a firm grasp on is the belief that you should give to people expecting nothing in return. If i give you 2 dollars to buy an ice cream, it's because i know that you want an ice cream and helping you means more than keeping 2 pieces of paper in my wallet. I don't expect you to ever pay me back. I seriously can't stand it when people are like dude you owe me 47 cents from 3 weeks ago.......bullshit i do, i owe you a brick to your teeth. Why do people even bother keeping track of stuff like that. There may come a time however when i will come to you in need of a favor and i hope you will remember my goodwill and repay my favor when you get a chance to. This is how i work. Still confused....here is an equation i made to further explain this concept.
2 cheeseburgers + buy you a drink at the bar + helped you hang a picture on your wall + talked to you when you needed a friend + bought you dinner cause you forgot your wallet = paid your share of the cable bill + helped you unpack boxes + helped shovel your car off + bought you your girlfriend's valentines day gift cause you were broke.
Isn't that amazing, i didn't add any prices to any of the things because who fucking cares.....If you really have friends, they will want to help you, want to give to you, want to see you succeed, and expect nothing in return except doing the same thing for them. Im a huge fan of the barter system. I want to walk into abercrombie and be like "hey i will give you 4 dollars, some fishing bait, a screwdriver, and a box of condoms for that t-shirt over there" It would be about then that they would tell me to go fuck myself either that or say something really gay and trendy but either way it wouldn't work. Basically i think that this idea is too far advanced for most people and or large corperations. That is why it will stay here on this blog in the good company of other revolutionary thoughts and concepts.
