Easy Come, Easy Go

I wonder how many of you figured out the message of the two songs that I posted. The messages aren't really hidden, especially in the second song.
The first song is a beautiful love song, and hippies are all about love and peace for sure, but the message that hit me the hardest in the song was:
If they gave me a fortune, my pleasure would be small, I could lose it all tomorrow and never mind at all. It's only money people. Easy come, easy go! Yes, it does seem like most people work their tails off at their jobs for what they often see as a small reward on payday. By the time you've paid all your bills there's not much left over to waste. But, your thinking is erroneous.
You have a roof over your head. You have utilities that help you to be able to cook your food and heat or cool your home. You have a telephone service so that you can keep in contact with other people or surf the web through a DSL connection. You more than likely have cable so that you can enjoy whatever television programs you like to watch. Basically, you have all the things that you need and some that you do not need but you want. Grumbling about not having enough will not get you anywhere, enjoy what you DO have!
The second song is much easier to decipher. I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar. Again, it is only money! The character of this song is happy with just a whaling song and a good guitar. He travels but you don't hear any mention of a fast car or even a fast horse. He simply enjoys the simple things in life and he is happy. We all could take lessons from that!
So, remember, it is only money and it does go easily. Enjoy whatever simple pleasures you have in life and be happy. No sense going through life being miserable because you don't have this or that fancy thing. All that worry and stress gets you is bad health. And, with bad health you won't enjoy much of anything!
