Being a cuck is just a spook anon
Just like everything else, really

Actually being a cuck isn't a spook because your mate getting shagged is a physical fact.
The importance you give to the fact is a spook, however.

As I said, BEING a cuck is a spook

money is a tool
>>486183
Well, existentialism is cancer anyway
>>486186
Money is the perfect expression of material wealth. Whatever is being sold - if you have money you can buy it. But you're right, money is dependent on the value we give it.
