Why do we follow fashion? We are never gonna catch up fashin because we follow it.Jon wears the clothes people leave for him. When he wears torn ones, eople give him more. Why do we make clothing such a big deal? You wear those nike shoes, not because the're comfy, but because they are shiny. You did it for whom? Did it make a difference in your life.? You wear that ma shirt, those expensive denims and that Titan watch. For whom? You make it all hard. WHY? Did it matter?

Clothes

We all can have easy lives. Build many houses, be free, understand ourselves, self-care, eat what we like, wear what we want. But why do we make it hard so much? Why does one need 20 yrs of education to achieve such simple things. A house is built 1 brick at a time, free time is found 1 second at a time.Life is easy. You make it hard.

Conclusion

People go to university, ay money, get degree, and get a degree on that degre, and get a job, and work for 30 years and build a house. Why do we make it so hard? Jon Jandai works 2 months a year and he built a house in the first 3 months. Now, he has more than 6 houses, he thinks just one question daily- "In what house do I sleep tonight?"We make everything so hard, for whom?
