Who wins the race...

The recent suicide by Chris Cornell, head of the band Audioslave and Sound Garden, is bound to raise questions in the inquisitive mind.
Why would someone who is financially rich, has achieve great fame, do what they love as a job, is considered a sex symbol would commit suicide?
Baghwan Shree Rajneesh, or today known as Osho, had a say when he was asked about the role of his wealth in spirituality.
He used to say “the more comfortable you are, the more luxurious you live, the more richness in all of the dimensions of life, more is the possibility for you to become aware of one thing: That you have everything but you don’t have yourself”

Looking back to all the famous and rich that fucked up their life using drugs or even came to the extreme of committing suicide. I can’t help but talk about the HUGE importance of spirituality or a sense of a greater work where you have some, even if minuscule, part on.
Society values are so disconnected from nature that, once this same values are successfully fulfilled, all we feel is emptiness.
Having myself worked as a flight steward in Business and First Class for 8 years I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the unhappiest and most stressful people are the rich.
Of course I’m not saying that there are no exceptions, nor I’m saying money is the root of all evil or unimportant. I like money and comfort, too. What I’m saying is that it’s obvious for whoever want to see it, that the final goals and the level of importance given to those materialistic values are what is making society sick.
The imbalances caused by the modern society values are too great and is actually driving us to possible extinction! (check the book Gaia by James Lovelock)
It’s time we start asking who’s benefiting from this lifestyle we live? who benefits from this each one for each one race we are running? When even the ones that won that race…. are killing themselves…
