[A Material Girl]

I don't think it immoral, but I think that you misjudge the fact that your wealthy parents are your guarantee for an unconstrained life. I would ask whether you are aware of the effort that has to be applied to gain wealth. Many who inherit wealth fail to understand this.

It is wealth that protects you, but it also isolates you, because you can only have wealthy friends because you need like-minded people around you.

You take cocaine in party settings, and I don't care, so I'm not judgemental, but it has often been the first step in a downward spiral.

I think you will have to be very careful and protect this bubble you are living in because if it bursts, you will have a shock.

Stoppelmann, the above, in essence, is what my mom tells me every Friday morning during our breakfast. Are you a parent?

Yes, and it might be wise to listen to your mom.

Yes, of course, I listen to my mom, because she gives me my weekly allowance, and buys me the stuff I want, if I behave myself.

I love my mom, even though we get into screaming matches, slamming doors hard, and throwing things around, and at each other, on a regular basis.

I listen to my mom and dad, but I am old enough to think for myself, too.

BTW, I am on this forum to benefit from philosophical wisdom.
