Have you ever wondered?
Do we have any limits? should we?
As much as we'd like to think we do not have limits.. we do.. it's our nature.
How about greed? how can anyone be so greedy that he can not stop asking for more? To answer that.. let's look into what we gain by having things..
It's opportunities.. I get a new car.. I can take long trips.. I can go anywhere I want whenever I want.. no matter the time of day or year..
I get a new house.. I already had one.. but.. I didn't have a pool.. now.. I have a pool.. I can get my "friends" (not commenting on the quotes right now) over whenever I want.. whenever I feel lonely.. I'm important..
But if I have all this.. why isn't it all enough? What else could I ask for?
It's because we do not treat this kind of opportunity with responsibility..
We actually do not become free.. all these come with sacrifices.. and obligations..
What I didn't see when I bought my new car.. is the insurance that I have to pay for it and the gas to run it..
My home can no longer be taken care of all by myself.. so.. I have to pay the housekeeper, the gardener.. and again.. the insurance.. It's not my house anymore..
So.. if I stumble in some situation that does not allow me to sustain my current level in society.. I am no longer there.. that's why it is impossible for me to give up whatever I'm doing to sustain this way of life..
The simplest example is a star: "oh.. look.. I am glamorous.. great.. famous.. rich.. I can have everything I want.." everybody wants that (wonder why?.. watching TV?)
But these are clowns.. they don't even have the rights to live a normal life.. they don't have privacy.. they get stuff for free.. but their every move is being watched and criticized. These guys are not free.. they are puppets. They have to come on the red carpet every year for you to see and praise. 'cause if they don't.. mass-media has a simple way of ruining you.. and then.. who will pay for that great house with pool.. It would be a real shame to have lost it.. what kind of example is that.. success is only up.. .. really?
When you are offered an opportunity of making money.. or whatever.. becoming important.. don't just throw it away on obligations.. because by making these dependencies on the system.. you will not be able to escape them in bad times..
Ever wondered why do you hear rich people commit suicide in times of crisis?
Hmm.. one would be that they got some level of importance.. but got fooled in making connections.. making promises to some other parties.. that are ruthless when it comes to getting what it is expected.. and.. in some situations.. there are things a lot more horrible than death.
I have a say.. you can't get in trouble if you are invisible.. but you can't make anything great either.
