With an ideology like this, who needs a good mental health amirite?
Anyway, since we are so focussed on the grand scheme of things we (or I, speaking for myself here) tend lose sight of the small good things in life. I feel like we should appreciate them more often, if possible.
Yesterday I bought the vinyl Deja Vu of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, which I found in a bargain box in a random second hand store. It has the song ‘Our House’ on it, which is my gf and I’s couple song so to say. It was a nice moment to be able to have a physical copy of the song.
I also had a prom with my friend group over here and it was really nice to just dance all night, with everyone looking happy.
I also randomly ran into Post Malone the other day. Not that I’m his biggest fan or anything but I thought it was fun to see him here.
Today i found complete 3 volumes hardcover polish edition of Theories of Surplus Value just lying there in second hand book store for like 12 EUR equivalent. Even better, those are in the same edition serie as my copy of Capital, so it looks absolutely majestic on my shelf.
Would love to see a picture!
I picked up a few hidden gems in used bookstores over the last few weeks. Frantz Fanon, C. Wright Mills, a history of China in the 1940s/50s which gets high praise from Marxists, and a neat little one about breaking things at work (Ludditism for the 21st century).
