“Of all the Virtues… wisdom is the Greatest” - Shayan Arman

When you make that much money

That quickly (*seemingly easily)

and that young

You end up feeling like shit.

It’s empty, because you feel like you didn’t earn it.

You did earn it!

Tell your mates to tie you up to the post. (Odysseus had it right!)

Turn the money into Gold.

Seriously. Lock that shit up.

Give it to someone that you trust.

Bury it deep.

And go fix yourself up.

Because at that age.. if you start spending it.

You’ll be effed for life.

Your nervous system will be trained to that Garbage.

Everything will taste bleh,

because you’ve had the good shit.

Reset yourself.

Don’t let yourself get too High (on Food, drugs, good times).

Protect your nervous system. This is what you’ll have for the rest of your life!

Leave some stones unturned.

Otherwise, you will soon lose interest with life.

And ask: “I’ve done everything, tasted all the Good things Life has to offer, what’s left?”

What’s funny is that the money feels empty. And then you feel even more empty, the more you ‘gain’ and taste all the Good things. You actually feel used up, because all your emotions are spent, on enjoyment and pleasure.

But it wasn’t fake. You worked your ass off. You’ll only know this when your old, and you’ve spent it all!

Young people are so stupid.
