This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

what you're describing is a leech. a parasite that offers no benefit to either nor adds to the value of society.

middlemen are the lowest of the low, and i cannot understand why anyone could sleep at night knowing their value in society is 0.

You gotta switch the cables. I'm assuming right now that you only want what you deserve through your labor. If you have extra or someone else is in need, you would rather they have it than you horde it or gain some luxury. Switch the cables so that what you value is hoarding and having luxuries without any merit. If someone else needs something, your power to not give leftovers to them is confirmation of your self-worth.

you are absolutely correct in your assumption. i grew up in poverty and i'd rather return to it if i could help others never having to experience it.

i get there are people with polar opposite views but absolutely cannot understand why you still wouldn't want to help the fellow man so we can all live better.
