As we occupy our microscopic space within the confines of the infinite universe, we should always strive to improve our lot, even at the expense of others.

Instead of sitting back and enjoying the ride of life, we should busy ourselves with shallow endeavors which help us pass the time.

We should buy the most expensive and nicest house that we can possibly afford, even if we are only there for a few hours a day.  A glorified crash-pad, if you will...  As long as it looks nice from the outside, others will envy you.  

We shall work diligently and save money for the future.  One day - one sweet day - we will be able to finally sit back and enjoy life.  So what if we're in a wheelchair at that point, we will finally have won.  Just keep striving for that elusive future happiness; one day it surely will find us.

Keep striving and never be satisfied with what you have.  There is always something else which can be obtained, and more that can be conquered.

Life is a race.  If you slow down, you'll get passed.  The finish line is just around the bend.

HURRY - THEY'RE GAINING ON YOU!!!

Is this ‘crack’ that she experienced in a September 2015 speech a one-off, or is there something wrong with this dude?

To those who are really calling the shots:

If the world as we know it is imploding, please try to minimize the pain.

If times get dark, please ensure that the TV stays bright.  We love our television, and without it we'd be lost.  

If you are going to strip us of the television, and other basic necessities, please at least provide other entertainment options which require minimal effort.  

Please keep the grocery stores stocked.  Since we are reliant on others for our food supply, we truly hope that you don't screw us over on this one...  

Please oh please let me keep my job.  As long as I have a job, I'll be all right.  

We no longer stand for each other, so as long as you give me a free-pass, I don't give a damn about anything else...  except my iphone...
