I do not want to be trapped by the external world, with wealth and luxuries at the forefront.
I have written similar posts on the www.adammazek.com website many times. Still, I believe if something is worth repeating, I should do it. I was not born to earn money. I do not want to collect material things, including books. The truth is that I do not aim to live in luxuries. I believe that chasing for collecting luxurious, material things is a trap. Undoubtedly, we did not appear in this world to collect things. I reject mindless consumerism and materialism. The last thing I want to do is to live to earn money, spend them, earn, spend, repeat. I do not want to have fancy stuff for the sake of having it. Speaking shortly, I do not want to be trapped and ruled by the external world.
It does not mean I want to state that material, luxurious things are ugly.
On the contrary, they are usually made precisely at the highest possible level. Still, I do not want to be submissive to shining gems and gold. I do not need wealth to be a happy man. I work and earn money to pay bills, eat, and develop my passion. The truth is that I find salvation in the creation process, not the money-making process. I wonder what your attitude towards money is, my Dear Friend. I hope your life’s aim is not to get more affluent and more prosperous for the sake of being richer. In the creation process, I trust. Even if I invest money in my passion all the time and do not expect extra money to earn from it, doing street photography, writing, and managing the www.adammazek.com website are worth doing. I found peace and calm not in the external world but in myself.
