Untitled (episode 1)

Oh what a cliched word to use for a title. But hey, some ppl couldn't even be bothered to name their posts, so i guess I'm not that lacking in inspiration...The raison d'etre of...aghh screw it. The only reason that i am blogging now is that i fear for my own sanity. Having so many mind boggling questions that keep harassing the insides on my brain is not helping. Yes, and those very thoughts are turning against me as I backstab them on my virtual journal.

Money matters. There are many ways to interpret those two words. 'Which is it?' u may ask, money issues or that money is important? Both. The world revolves around money, ie money rules the world. I can't think of a single thing that doesn't involve the use of money, except for happiness in tropical jungles(still, the day will come when u'd had to pay off with something of value- presumably money- to logging companies so as to prevent them from literally bringing the house down), hence it only serves to substantiate my point that money is everything. Sometimes i find life intolerable, not because i'm neurotic or overly compulsive; rather, i feel that what the life cycle repeats itself so very lifelessly that i find myself bubbling with boredom rather than with excitement. What we have been learning, or are being forced to learn, is the corollary of our parents(and their parents and so on) being indoctrinated with the principle that money IS king while everything else is secondary. What happened to all the talk about happiness being of perennial importance? Ultimately, we want to be successful in whatever monetary endeavours we might take up in the future. Why? Because our undying passion and insatiable hunger for knowledge? Maybe. Lets not discount people who are truly dedicated to their interests rather than the paychecks that come with the job, but for the vast majority, do u think they REALLY give a shit?

What i'm trying to put forth here is something that the eager and ambitious young of today have overlooked time and again with the cost of time for short term gains. That's why we all will encounter grouchy colleagues and maniacal bosses at some point. I know people just can't seem to learn from history, but this really isn't a historical text. note to self: don't make that same mistake!
