I against I

I'm and educated fool with money on my mind. I'm chasing ghosts, and I forgot about other little or bigger pleasures of life. So caught up in this consumer society, that your values are often dictated by unreal necessities. And yet, I'm not without control. I do realize and understand how things work, and what triggers our needs, but it only comes down to an inner struggle. I against I. One won't survive, but in the end, the survivor, will be more than just the old me. It's a matter of placing the right bet and playing the right card.
