MUKHA KANG PERA!!!
I am not angry or anything, but while working this afternoon a thought suddenly occurred to me. That we all do the things we do because of money.
Money is the cause of all our life decisions. We apply and decide to go to a certain school because the chances of us getting a better paid career is higher. We work for a certain company because the compensation is better. We ask this person to be the ninong of our children because he will give better gifts, higher money value, etc. etc.
So how far are you willing to go for money?
Its just sad that money is the driving factor of our lives. Its what forces us to make difficult decisions. Its what motivates us to be better people.
Do you think everyone will go to work, everyone will work hard to study if we get money for free? No! If I get money from a tree, or if we don’t need money at all to survive, I would just be laying around, be incompetent, not know my alphabet, not know the difference between 1 and 2 and be happy.
But since money rules the world, we need it to survive, we need it for our children to survive, then it becomes our obsession, it becomes our goal. We are only happier if we get more money!
Deny it as much as you want. Reason as much as you can, but at the end of the day. Its money that makes the decision for you.
It is sad really, because right now, my husband is away because of the same reasons. Money. He went as far as leaving a two year old daughter, a wife, a home.. A Family. He went to a place where he rents half a room, without his family just so he can get a chance to earn more money. We call it, to get a chance to give our daughter a brighter future, but whichever way you say it, how ever you try to window dress it, it is about the money.
We are all people driven by the amount of money we get. Our goals in life is to be rich, to be richer, it is not at all bad, because the reason behind WHY we want to get more money is the more important thing. It’s what keeps us sane, and what keeps us anchored.
So if anyone tells you “Mukha kang Pera”, don’t be ashamed, everyone of us is. We all are driven by money, its the reasoning behind why you want more money thats more important.
