Rich, oh too rich. So succulent, these people. Not like succulents. They probably don't have any of the medicinal benefits of aloe, but, you know, like cake. Like a rich cake. That's the joke I'm going for. That the prompt is about richest people, like if you were eating them.
Richest people... are we gonna be, like, sappy, here and say the richest people are the ones who love and are loved?
Like, sure, money can't buy love, but it can buy freedom from worry, and when people are less stressed, they have more time to focus on relationships. That's part of what wealth is.
Life feels all discombobulated lately. For a long time we were scrambling to make a living and now, thanks to things like skyrocketing hive values, we sure shouldn't be worried about money, even though we don't have a regular income. We could probably turn our assets into some kind of regular income...or just think about it like that. That's not the point. The point is, we're now freer, but we're still a little stuck. We don't know how to unstick ourselves and make a .... how to analyze what life is. Or maybe it's beginning to feel less and less like there's magic out there. So we focus on what's real, and we begin to build real changes to the world, and that's good, but losing the belief in magic is a little hard on the psyche, you know? Necessary for the good of all, but hard.
