huh???

there's 12 CDs in my "to have and to buy" list, CDs I should either have or buy, aka have-in-the-future...two of them begin with the letter A (the artist names, not the titles), 1 begins with D, 2 begin with the letter G, one letter H, another letter O, another letter R, and the rest begin with T. Of course, those are just the beginning letters, quite a few other letters are used, but not all of them. Supposing my musical tastes are better than everyone else's, which just about everyone tells me is impossible, which i partially agree with, although it's usually tempting to imagine a scientific & political combo committee taking all things into account and based on logic/science and concepts of morality that are supported by science and aren't just silly things like "gay people suck" or whatever, deciding what kinds of music are good, and from that point onward, perhaps music experts, people who understand musical structure and how music effects the brain etc., weed out the crap and mankind could have nothing but whipped creme! IMAGINE!
But back to what I was saying; SUPPOSING (although this is kinda far fetched, 'cause I admit the CDs in my list aren't even A-MA-ZING, with the exception of Hidden In Plain View's RESOLUTION, which perhaps could have been better in some minor(?) ways) my CD collection is concrete, what else in this world is so important that the letters that aren't used up in my list are needed for? I mean, there's words that have "x" in them, but why? Seems like man kind could spell xylophone without the letter "x"; and don't tell me THE X-FILES wouldn't exist without the letter "X" because the whole reason that show was named THE X-FILES is because the FBI squad that housed the file folder the show was named after NAMED THE FOLDER what it was ("the x-files", duh) only because there weren't any other folders with the letter "X". If that stupid "X" didn't need to be recognized, they say the file folder would have been called "Unknown" or something like that...SO! -- anyway;
I mean, what are most words exactly, is what I started thinking about, not just WHY do "certain letters" need to exist, but why do the words themselves exist, I wonder? I mean, the brand names of cars, details about planets and little aspects of the world, people's body parts, clothing styles...I mean, what's the point of even talking about any of these things?
But then again...guess it'd also be pointless to talk about music...I mean, you listen to it, you don't have much reason to talk about it...what's to say? "Your opinion?" "Yes." Or "Why did I like that song?" "Who knows..."...
It's really all trivial. People criticize the 80's as being the "me" generation, and point towards the music of the time like "girls just want to have fun" and "material girl". But, if the materials of the world weren't so important, what would be the point of working 6-8 hours a day on average and sleeping 9 of the other hours? That only leaves 7 hours to really get anything done otherwise, and you still gotta clean, so you don't get sick and or die, consuming at least another hour, leaving six total, and for such a small chunk of time you got all this money collected meant specifically for that window of time, and what of it? Of course, you can use that money to pay for services instead of goods, like a concert or...idk...but still;
The point is, people (some;) talk about the "important" things in life, but what are they? If anything in life wasn't important, A LOT of jobs would be non existent, because at least a few dozen people out there in the world are gonna look at different areas of the economy (animal behavior and/or other kinds of sciences; fashion; literature and/or other forms of entertainment) and either say that their work isn't important enough to warrant "that kind" of income and other people, although probably not as many will say that/those job(s) shouldn't even exist.
I guess the world would be nicer if people were deeper in their mindset and could be comfortable giving to those who can't find a solid employment opportunity. Heck, maybe the number of hours people work could be cut by 1/4! but then where would the money come from? the treasurer, of course! I guess it'd be kinda like a socialist gov't, where people did their part and had just enough money to buy the basics and a little extra for concerts and what ever else...but anyone who was willing to work longer hours could make more money, just depending on how generous they are towards society. The way things are now, it seems like "doing your job" often requires TAKING FROM society.
