Friend :- Tell me something good about life?
Me :- Life is a Bitch (being cynical as always)
The best part of anyone’s life is their childhood. You’re carefree, you get all you want on a platter, you just need to place an order with the universe and its done. There’s no stress, not much of thinking, not working hard. Things are easy and simple, not at all complicated, you enjoy life, sleep soundly at nights and then…………….
you grow up and the nightmares begin. Then there’s the insomnia phase. Loads and loads of tension. Need to buy a house, need to buy a car, save up for my marriage, start a family and the answer is Money. How will I get the money? How will I manage the loans? How do I manage expenses? I want to dress well on occasions (my dress should be better than hers). How do I fair better than others to get paid well at work??? I want to travel around the globe. Stress stress and more stress.
And so you slog, run a rat race and if you disagree, you’re in denial.
So money has definitely become the center of our lives. Some earn it the hard way but most people hmmm… It is the root cause of all evil like you might have heard.
Simple metaphor - If you have the talent you can be a good actor, and if you don’t you just have to sleep with the director.
So then you have earned the money either way, now you have purchasing power, you can afford a lot of things. But the greed is always there and you want more and more and more than the others. And you are 50yrs old now, with lot of wealth, so what now??
Can money buy back the years you have lost chasing it???? Can money buy you back the friends you have back stabbed just to get a level higher??? Can money buy you sleep knowing that may be your partner is in bed with someone else??? Can money buy you peace???
Hmmm…. now you’ll say that there are many other things that are more important than money. Ok Agreed. So you mean you can be happy even without the money? hmm….So are you going to be happy living a simple life? Doing a 9-5 office job. Earning a small salary. Eating only bread butter and not thinking about Cheese??
Think about it.
Believe it or not but honey, it’s all about the money!!!
