"buying good rather than goods"

Mighty  money, gives you power and choices. Steve Job has it all but not having health can be limiting. History has proven it over and over, again and again. But, I think, history is never there to teach us: it is a story of past doings of others, you may learn but largely used as a reference to cross reference past doings in current times. It  happens before, it  can happen now with similar consequences. The people who make history usually may not be aware of history as they are busy in making it.

He was writing his new book and having limitations to talk and write has given him option to blink and command. That  was one of the innovations for ALS patients.

He showed his writing on computer screen, and wanted my opinion.

Sure, amazing thoughts. Money can buy you a lots of goods, and he wrote. I would buy good rather than just goods. I smiled and I looked at  his eyes, and I saw a free spirited mind, defiant of  his caged soul in an occupied body under ALS.

To some, money brings a piece of peace. The  choices, options and freedom to buy stuff, new and shinning. They are preoccupied by happiness through glitter to get clutter;  stored as it get old fashioned and sometimes misfit as aging process affect.

Others, use money to buy good by helping others. I saw his thoughts were showing up on the  screen one alphabet at a time, and he continued, those are the ones who comfortably move on as the last jacket has no pockets as you take with you no goods, but only good you have sent forward.
