today's entry will be about the popular long argument about whats important in life.
"Money Is Everything"
So people, how to discuss this?
so here are my thoughts
while what's said is true, i my point is, its true money can buy happiness however, sometimes, money cant really buy genuine happiness
for instance, you have wealth, you are happy. you dont have to worry a single thing.. then, one day in a series of unfortunate events, everything being taken from you and you left with nothing. obviously you cant be happy right? so thats not genuine happiness.
a genuine happiness is you are happy no matter what. being rich or poor, but when you are contempted with life, nothing else matter for you as long as you have the drive to live in this world, for example your loved ones, family and friends
well, for me, money can buy happiness, but temporarily. once that taken away from you, you wont be happy. but, if it was a genuine happinesss, regardless the object, you will be happy anyway, anyhow..
we see a lot of rich people are not happy with their life eventhough the have a ton of wealth. husband and wife always quarrel, thier children barely knows them, rebels, they dont feel love, etc.
we also see that sometimes, the kid didnt want new toys, or anything, but just their parents time, just their love.
we can buy a lot of food to make us happy, but when we finished it, will be be happy? we can travel the world, going places, meet new people, but when we're back home, can we be happy? we can ride roller coster, ride new buggati, and all sort of fun stuff, but do we constantly need to nourish ourselves with wealth all the time in order to be happy. we can be happy by thinking we have enough and think about all the unfortunate people on the otherside of the earth that have basicly nothing. but deep down in our heart, in our thoughts, in our conscious, do we really need that to survive? do we really need to be wealthy to be happy? what is the meaning of life then? always about material? love? are we not being to materialistic?
ok for instance, in my case, when i have a breakup, everything was dark for me. luckily my friends are there for me to help me on my weakest times,
so times goes on, finally graduated, when i started to work, i bought a sportsbike. i was treating and diverting my loneliness and sadness to something i like. yeah, im happy. but as soon as im off the bike, im sad again. then the the accident happen. my bike gone to the workshop for 3 months. im very sad. so lonely. no bike. urgh. but also during that period, i found someone special. we keep on texting daily, and im happy, more than ever. i was feeling a lot better even without the bike. it was genuine happiness. love is power. i hope i will not be dependent on money to keep me happy however, i dont intend to be poor either, with money you can provide others with temporary happiness right? because sometimes, life isnt about us, but about others, and all of us. at least its something than nothing right?
the only times a lot of money matter is that you want to help other people, by giving more. only then the purpose is justified. if you only want more money just for yourself, then you will be the slave of money.
yes money is super important, especially nowadays, but there are more important things than that. there are things money cant buy.
money cant buy health and life. what is 1 million dollar to someone who is diagnosed with incurable stage 4 of cancer which only have 3 months to live. of course money can buy medication and prolonged the life span a bit and make the last days less of a pain and torture, but only that. and of course you could be positive and just donate all the money to charity and make the life of others better, but still it will not save you.
if a billionaire mother who had no kids and already reach 35 years and about to had her first baby, but unfortunately her baby cant make it, if she could trade her millions just to save the baby she would totally do it, but it cant. money cant buy life.
thing is money is a lot of things but not every thing
money is power. you can literally do anything and everything with money. but once the money is gone, so do all of it. if you have skill, respect and companion, you can go through your life of hardships because of the support of your love ones.
money cant buy you time. the time lost will be gone forever.
something i get from the net. just to share it all with you. its in malay by the way.
summary and roughly translated: the writer said that she has a friend that is beautiful and rich, and if everybody view her via social media, her life is beautiful. but the truth is she is not really happy with her life. mostly because she did not have a loving family like the writer. the writer's family is strict but loving. the wirter told that her friend always shares her problem while crying mostly mybe because she is sad and her life is not contempted. so be grateful for what you have.
also, dont be deceived by your worldly lust and desire.
these are some silly sayings.
trust me, that is silly
it might be true but when it hit you, only then you realised, money isnt everything
actually the more wealth you have, the more problem you will have. its just like that. thats the fact of life. lagi banyak harta, maka lagi banyak tanggungjawab. lagi bnyk tuhan tanya nanti.
