admit it.. humans are greedy...
they have a house but they always want something better.. maybe a condo maybe private property maybe a bungalow maybe a villa maybe a penthouse...
they have money but they always want more... when u earn 2k u want 3k when u earn 3k u want 4k..
they have a mean of transportation.. but they are always looking for a better, more comfortable and more luxiourious alternative... maybe a BMW, maybe a convertible.. maybe a sport car remodified...
Buddhism teaches us about nothing is forever.. be it a relationship with family or frenz, be it feelings for a loved one... dun even mention materialistic things such as money... however being born into this materialistic world, everyone seem to be born into this cycle of chasing for more... it is a never-ending quest for more and better...
and i guess i am one of them... although again and again i tell myself sometimes humans got to stop in their steps for a never ending quest to tell themselves how much they should be contented with what they have now.. a shelter over their heads no matter how lousy that shelter is and food in their stomach no matter how yucky the food is... they shld even be glad that they are alive in this world even though they might be poor... becoz there are more ppl out there without a shelter over their heads, without food in their stomach and yet they are glad they are still alive in this world... becoz as long as they are alive.. there is still hope.. what are we to compare with them??
sometimes i just can't help but admire ppl with a better life than me.. they earn good money... they drive a car... they live in a big house, they have all the money they need to go travelling around the world, live in expensive resorts and hotels, buy all the things that they wanted.. diamonds, clothes, shoes and bags... without even a twink of the eye... even though they are of the same age as me... but i keep on telling myself... if i work hard.. one day i will also have the same success.. but most importantly i must be happie.. and i keep on telling my darling that.. becoz i have all the confidence in him that he can achieve very good results in the current industry that he is in.. even though now everything seems blank as he just started out... but give him one or two years.. i am sure he will be able to make it well... or even better than me...
jia you darling.. i will always support u..
