You said, "The fact that you had the privilege of growing up and living in some of the most privileged parts of the world (that stole the most)...

Please explain to me how Africa is the most privileged part of the world. I've spent 40 years of my life there. When I was growing up, there were still hunter gatherers around. As I said, my grandparents lived in a house that had no electricity, no bathroom, no running water - nothing. How is that living in the most privileged parts of the world?

You're very mistaken about who you think I am and what I have lived through.

You keep talking about spirituality. There is no such thing. I spent somewhere around 35 years of my life on that junk - god does not exist. And there is no life after death. And it's all bull. Don't waste your life. You only get one life. This is it. I deeply regret spending all that time on spirituality.

Also, I don't know how old you are, but the world I grew up in started becoming money mad in the early 80s. That's when everything changed. Capitalism replaced mercantilism towards the beginning of the 19th century, and the buildings reflect tremendous works of art. Modernism reared its ugly head at the beginning of the 20th century. Neoliberalism is when money became the primary focus in the early 80s. Again, how old are you?

You said, "We all have a tragically sad story. But let's not lead with our trauma. Lead how you overcame it and tried doing it all radically differently in a counterculture sense by turning your back to your own power, privilege and pedigree."

Excuse me? WTF? You know absolutely nothing about me and my life. I'm not here to give you either a success or a failure story of my life. I have no desire whatsoever to share my lifestory with anyone. I'm not here to give hope to others. I am here to earn a few bucks.

My life has nothing to do with you or anyone else. What power, privilege and pedigree? I don't have any of that. Clearly, you're projecting your own situation on to me. Sorry, but I am not you.

You said, "Why I bothered commenting here. Because my frustration is more towards those who think of themselves as poets and artists."

You are seriously kidding. I have NEVER thought writing an art. I also don't think of myself as artist, creator, or poet. I am simply trying to earn a few bucks each month in order to survive.

That's about it. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd stop writing. As for the world, there is no hope. We will be extinct within 80 years. Just another species that didn't make it. As Einstein said, "There are two things that are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Good luck to you.
