Balance Sheet

“We're all just entries on someone's profit and loss report.”
The Chemical Buddha could become quite cynical when he thought about big business and how everything was just about money. This usually came to a head whenever he got calls/letters from creditors trying to collect on all the money he owed them. He would scream into the phone, ‘I’m more than a number you fuck head!’ But he also realized big business looked at people as potential customers and, therefore, as potential profit centers. And that big business didn’t care if you lived or died, as long as you bought a bunch of their shit while you were alive. Oh, and hopefully created some more future consumers while you were here. Although you might call them children (or someone to put you in the an old age home and sell all of your stuff off and skip town with all of your money).
How do you see people in your life? As living things or as someone who can do something for you?
How do you think other people see you?
Do you get more out of the stuff you own or experiences you have?
