why you do that?
Why does a homeless man struggle to load a 200 gallon fish tank with a 2 foot tall stand onto his shopping cart and push it back to his illegal camp by the abandoned Greyhound station?
Because it’s an ostentatious display of wealth. The man is no different from you. Owning an object that makes no sense is an ideal method of flashing status. If the speed limit is generally 65 mph and your Lotus handles corners at 135, you have more than you can use. A 190 pound aquarium next to your cardboard house is more than you can use as well, in the same way! Which man is different? Don’t they both want people to shake their heads and ask, “Why?”
