The site of million dollar houses, snobby empty people will increase your depression, even if you yourself are rich. It doesn't matter.
This is one of the reasons why the West is so depressing. They think richness makes people happy. It doesn't. I like puddles, dirt, commotion and disorder. It cures my soul.
You don't always have to be clean, orderly in EVERYTHING!
Thats why people like Marylin Monroe, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson and Elvis commit suicide. If they went to a place like Russia and started a farm, they would've met people who make them happy.
Meh, even going to a places like Canada, Iowa or Wisconsin would've helped them.
Living around cold calculating rich assholes will make you DEPRESSED.

I think the thing is we place such an emphasis on the luster of material things and not the utility of them. If you try your entire life to become wealthy and you achieve it what have you gotten? Trinkets. The real passion of living is not only working with your hands to make something new but contributing towards the advancement of the species.
Being rich and doing a bunch of blow on your yacht, while your balls deep in two Eurasian twins, is the fickle goal of those who have never dreamed larger than their own hedonistic desires.
Anyhow fuck materialism, consumerism, wall street, and the jews.
