I recently started playing a game where you gather resources to make upgrades to get more resources.
Its totally addictive, because the reward system in your brain constantly fires, with every achievement or upgrade you unlock.
But at the same time this totally stresses me out.

Now I kinda understand rich people. If you have so much money at your disposal, that, not only it "works for you" and "multiplies on its own" (in reality someone's work, the planet's resources and everyone's future are being exploited for the rich person to make that money), but you can constantly invest in stocks and other stuff to multiply your money even more super fast, then its hard to resist.

If you don't have that much money, but enough to get by, then you can be much more mindful and zen about it.

If you're poor, that's stressful in many different ways.

So I suggest, to relieve billionaires from their stress, we take the burden from them by taxing them. And as a bonus we can take a lot of stress from the poor by introducing a universal basic income.

Are you in?

Pause a moment.
Breathe.

I've been practicing mindfulness a little bit for a while.
My excessive mind wandering has been detrimental to my mental health and my future goals for too long.

If you needed to see this, maybe someone else does too. So please pass it along. This world needs us all to believe in the good .. and to do our part to make the good be real for everyone.
