the world is getting too complicated. why cant we just live day to day. see those tribes... we think they are having a hard life. but they work for about 2-3 hours a day, and the rest of the day is bonding with family. what has happened to our urban society. driven by our desires to achieve more, climb higher. then in the end; many lead a meaningless life. why. why do they even choose that. so what if you are rich. but you are not living a meaningful or happy life.

if i wanted to be rich for any reason; it's to be financially secure. now with all the compulsory annuities and govt policies, it's near impossible to keep a firm hold on your hard earned money. if you think that working hard will allow you to be financially secure, no way. lol. im not saying this to anyone in particular. just a reiteration to myself as well. what with inflation, and the many other 'surprises' that life can throw our way, we can be prepared to work our entire life, if we dont keep a firm hold on what we earn, or find out how to do so.

if i wanted to be rich; i would want it so that the govt doesnt eat up my hard work. so that the poor would benefit from my work. so that my descendants will be ensured a proper living; like warren buffet's descendants. sometimes i really admire these wealthy people... i admire their generosity. warren buffet doesnt really care about all that wealth. he's still living in his house he bought 40 years ago. compare that against hollywood celebrities. what a difference. what a guy with such a big heart.

the world changes so fast. new surprises everyday. now suddenly we can pay nets using our phone. lol. keeping up with these changes until it feels like a part of life. and actually, change is part of life. so are mistakes.
