I'd say money is neutral, considering it's inanimate. It's not like money will be communicating behind your back with local authorities to have you arrested because money hates your guts and wishes to see you rot, criminal scum.

It creates problems distinct of their own. But for me, money isn't a problem until I've got all the surgeries tended to. If I haven't gotten all of it done by 30, I'll be disappointed in myself.

That Dango Daikazoku song is so adorable. I can't stop listening to it. Of course, I have liked everything Chata has done so far so... She rocked one of the Higurashi -Dear You- versions.

What if bashing the people you don't like is what gives you inner peace?

So tempting to find out, but then you remember that beating people up is frowned upon if you're not in a four sided "ring."

Indeed. But none of the people I dislike have the spine to consentually fight. And my professional aspirations prevent me from incurring an assault and battery charge.

Well, except for me. It makes it even worse when the conflict was already "resolved", then you realize nothing can change what was said and done. And going back would either be too hard or too risky or just impossible.
I don't know. Don't like expressing those sorts of things in public. Helps for me to get it out somehow.
