On Money...

Some say its the root of all evil, others say it makes the world go round. i say they are all true. many have claimed that health is wealth and no amount of money can buy happiness. tell that to the homeless, tell that to the sick who don't have money to even buy medicine. its a practical world we live in and as bad as it sounds, good health and happiness stem from having at least some green dough. the world today is cruel and this is not the first time i'm saying it, even with my little time on this earth, i have learnt and seen first hand when she shows her ugly side. don't get me wrong, this world has its redemming qualities else i'd be in mental hospital or even dead by now. before i digress further, no man in our time can survive without some glitter. its a materialist and practical society we live in, lets talk about finding a partner or most would commonly know it as marriage, some might even say its the beginning of the end. there is no such thing as some one loving you so much that even if you are a beggar, they'd still be willing to spend their life with you. honestly ask yourself, would you want to spend your life with some one with no job, no status, no money. if your answer is yes, then you are a candle of hope for this world or you have been reading too many fairy tales. love can only bring you this far, the rest is up to how you manage your finance. i cannot stress further how many vows were broken because of the $ factor. i was talking to yehong a while ago and she went like 'pls loh, you haven't even start making $ yet...' yea, it sucks to know that i still have a long way to go before i can be financially independent. i don't need to be reminded that as each day pass, the prospect of losing bread is getting higher. no matter how i run or hide, i know i cannot escape this grim reality. i will remember what i promise myself, i will remember what i have learnt the past 2 years. i was watching prison break just now and one of the characters resorted to stealing so that he can have enough money to be with his girlfriend. however he got caught and soon after his girlfriend was lured to his much richer cousin. But one thing he said left a mark, "your money cannot buy you everything." i hope and pray that i can find some one that is true and as dad said of the same yoke. i think i'm too tired, i think my inner demons are acting up again, i'm thinking too much and too deep again. i better go sleep before i start thinking nonsense again...
