you need to BUY STUFF in order to be happy, otherwise you're doomed to misery 100% forever.

Most people need to work their 2nd or 3rd job to make rent and pay the bills. Which leaves little room for internal exploration, self actualization, or connection to a wider community.

mindfulness costs nothing, doesn't require any external "equipment," and can be practiced literally any time. yes, even at your 3rd job.

but it sounds like you're dead set on rejecting it outright without a second thought. ironic. woe is you, i guess?

yea. it is what it is. good luck
