Ludwig Wittgenstein

I really like that the article talks about how if you have to climb a ladder to get somewhere then it isnt needed because you are already in the place you need to be. Whatever is reachable by a ladder has no interest. It also talks about how the truth can be told only by people who know the truth, if you deny truth then you cannot speak it. It is really intersting to say that people who do not accept the truth in turn can not speak the truth. I also like that to say you do not need to be anywhere but where you are, and you do not need anything but what you have. People need to be happy with what they have, but the american culture does not do a good job with that. We are always striving for more, and wanting way more than we actually need. The american dream is basically being rich. Im not saying that it would not be nice to never have to worry about money, and to be able to buy whatever you want. I am just saying that people need to be able to be happy with what they have. They need to be able to know that they do not need material posessions in order to live a great life. The happiness does not come from the material objects, but from yourself.
