Life is so ironic.
Last Saturday went to a gathering call “记师恩” It was a gathering that many comes together and thank the source for starting everything 20 years ago, voicing out Buddhist’s Scripture. (A particular one)
Dad & Mum invited me there. It’s universal in religion, like for example, Buddhist talks about simple life, giving whatever we can to help those that in need. We don’t have to be the strongest/richest/most powerful/most informative/most capable to help someone.
It was always about the pure heart of sincerity that counts. Then why, why is this world so corrupted? People will say, “It’s because there’s people with different point of view and ideal” That is very true. Then why in the first place, these people had this very evil thoughts in them. Thoughts don’t come from nothing. Thoughts comes from responses, responses comes from actions, actions comes from words, words comes from thoughts. Then, where do these thoughts comes from? It’s just the same as asking egg or chicken first. No one ever know.
I learnt this sentence during The Millionaire Mind Intensive held in Singapore 2 weeks ago.
Change your lifestyle to suit your earning, or change your earning to suit your lifestyle.
Either one of the above is true and right. But it’s also because both of this option appears in front of mankind. That causes everyone of us into chaos. Some chases after the $ to live their desired lifestyle. While others decided to change their lifestyle to suit their earnings. Then comes the critics.
Rich people looking down at poor when the poor lives with this motto: 知足常乐。”Contentment”
While the poor looks down on the rich with: 钱不是万能的, 没了钱, 他们什么都不是。”Money is not a panacea, without money, they are nothing”
Since the ancient days till now, generation after generation, we’ve lost the most important thing in our lives.
That is to improve who we are, and not that we have.
So what if I have billions of dollars and have to hire bodyguards and put up a fake front, just to protect these pile of papers. No true friends to call, no family that I can confide to.
Then now more and more people talking about being realistic. Without money, we are nothing. The basic survival is to have money. I agree, totally. But why are we so obsessed with it? Why are we running around like ants on a heated pan, just to await the last day of every month and receive the little cheques (or even a bank statement) that writes the deposit of our sweat and blood of 8 hours daily, and 22 days out of a month.
Just to buy food, pay bills, entertain ourselves.
Then the cycle starts again.
Then because of this figures, people start to create nasty plans, to hinder, to destory other’s path of earnings. Just to increase their figure on their little cheques to be a little more bigger. Whats the goal? Sacrifice of someone’s family, someone’s dream, to get a more decent (in branding) car. Get a bigger and latest Television Set. Pay for a higher grade of hotel for a week of holiday in Europe. Upgrade of apartment to addition another 100 square feet. Addition of a designer furniture. 1 more Jimmy Choo’s collection. 1 more Louis Vuitton’s latest tote bag. Another set of Chanel latest season Make up. A new pair of Hugo Boss Shoe.
For these things, humans are planning, executing nasty actions and words spread. To harm, curse, destory another human being in their life cycle. So to obtain an increase in the figure.
I felt like an outcast at times. The conversation. I can see, so clearly. Arrows flying pass. Shooting someone else’s back. A grenade thrown in the face of another during a meeting. Bazooka aim at fellow colleagues during discussion. Managers/Directors planting land mines everywhere, awaiting for any staffs to step on one, and “BOOM”. It’s almost like a game in their eyes.
Looking at this world. Why everyone can turn a blind eye on whatever is happening around us?
My mind, it’s gonna explode soon.
