“Everyone and their TV commercial wants you to believe that the key to a good life is a nicer job, or a more rugged car, or a prettier girlfriend, or a hot tub with an inflatable pool for the kids. The world is constantly telling you that the path to a better life is more, more, more—buy more, own more, make more, **** more, be more. You are constantly bombarded with messages to give a **** about everything, all the time. Give a **** about a new TV. Give a **** about having a better vacation than your coworkers. Give a **** about buying that new lawn ornament. Give a **** about having the right kind of selfie stick.
Why? My guess: because giving a **** about more stuff is good for business.
And while there’s nothing wrong with good business, the problem is that giving too many ****s is bad for your mental health. It causes you to become overly attached to the superficial and fake, to dedicate your life to chasing a mirage of happiness and satisfaction. The key to a good life is not giving a **** about more; it’s giving a **** about “less, giving a **** about only what is true and immediate and important.”
