And all this nonsense about chasing waterfalls! what are you on about, i mean really! why oh why do you have to be so blinkin literal! All they’re tryin to say is that a waterfall is obviously a ‘special’ thing/place/fruit of nature. Why else are the largest ones up there within the world’s wonders. Chasing waterfalls can easily be read as chasing things that are almost unattainable – aesthetically gratifying yet are not in some way a part of real life, dangerous even. There is absolutely no need to focus on the fact that they are static, after all, can you not also be in search of something that does not move? Moreover, waterfalls by definition are dichotomous; their name simultaneously describes an event and physical structure enjoyed in tandem and only in one place, yet. they are also formed by some of the fastest flowing natural waters in the world.

I felt I needed to write this because I have had enough of people like you spouting off their opinions as though their are fact sealed by some fact godlike figure in wax.

As the rap songs say, they keep their grind on till they die. Be this by working twenty hours a day, inventing new things until something breaks out or making art until they achieve some semblance of recognition.

To further quote rap artists, who i believe have it quite right, America is all about playing the game.

The beauty of America, though, is you have the option of playing the game smarter or harder than anyone else to elevate your position to the level you desire.

I’m fascinated by con men and get-rich-quick schemes. I love the idea that a guy can come from humble beginning and work all his life, then through hard work, thrift and a little luck he can save up and buy a big house and his next door neighbor is the guy who invented the iFart app.

With that in mind I say America is all about something for nothing & the pursuit of a quick buck. You think Horatio Alger lived the life he wrote about?
