Day 4 of 30

We all live our lives doing one thing primarily...making money...we work different kind of jobs...some with no fixed time, some 8-4, sometimes we loathe going to work, but pull ourselves coz without the pay check, life is hard to live.

You look at the people on the street on a weekday morning, anywhere in the world, people are hurrying somewhere, lost in their thoughts and most of them are on their way to work or from work to home. The struggle to make the ends meet, the struggle to have enough and sometimes even splurge on unwanted things, this hurried life goes on and before we realise, we have spent years and years in making sure we have enough and a little bit more.

Except for the ones that were born with either silver spoon or gold spoon in their mouths, it is pretty much the story of the every middle class person. We may wonder at how some one is so adept at making money and while some slog day after day for the meagre amount. Some retort to not so right path and some dont take any path,and try to live off others.

Is money really that important, or is it a necessary evil we all need to get by, what else can we do other than shed the worldly garb and go out begging for alms...but again, if we all went begging, who would be the one giving alms..so the order of the world demands, while a select few beg for alms, other use whatever their wisdom and conscience let them do to earn that few bucks.

I am one among the people who wants to win that lottery...people who know me say, to win lottery you atleast need to buy a ticket..as much as i want that lottery loot, i dont buy a ticket , coz i think deep in my heart i think i dont want to win it. if i suddenly had the money what will i do...what will be the reason for me to wake up, what will be the motivation to use my brain and want to work harder and harder so i can earn a pay hike.Wanting more never stops, if you have 1, you want 10, and if you have 10, you want 100, and if you have 100 you want 1000. Wants are like addiction, the more you have, more you want.

Wondering why this thought came to me, i realised a couple of days ago, i am making less than some one i know who i believe doesnt work as much as I do, and was a little mad.and i thought about it with a cool mind and questioned, how long will i compare and with how many people will i compare with. Whats my worth, is it relative to how much others are getting paid? Am i not as ambitious as others are? Am i too complacent, that i dont care about how much i get paid? How much do i want? how much will make me happy? All these questions, led to this post today...let me know what do you think, how much is really enough?
