PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: DONALD TRUMP AND THE ORANGES

People always say that you should think about people who are less fortunate than you when you feel depressed. But actually it doesn't work. I know some people are starving but I also know that i'm not going to be starving tomorrow and I know I won't be hanging out on Fifth Avenue either. So since I can't relate to any of those human condition in my daily life it doesn't make me any good to think about it. But thinking about the human condition of people who lived centuries ago or the one of people who will be living in 200 years from now really can make you feel better. Back then in the 17 th century for exemple people didn't have all the conveniences we have now and the rich thought they were so grand because they were able to afford apples and oranges in winter.

Now we also know that one day people will be immortal. So the people in the future who will have conquered immortality will look at someone like Donald Trump as a kind of guy who liked to show off he was able to afford the «apples and oranges» or the late 20th and early 21 st centuries. And they will think:« that's it? "When you think about that it's really easy to feel great about what you have. But at the same time it would be bad if everybody started to think that way because it would really hurt the economy.I mean who would buy the $29 Jessica inspired dress for plus size women?
