It's All About The Money

I was looking through files and folders on my computer and I found short articles that I used to write. This is one of them... so... read on...

"in this day and age, there is nothing more important than money. we wake up early to waste our days being bossed around so that at the end of the month, we can look forward to seeing our bank balance increases. people say it's love that makes the world goes round, but in truth the thing that makes the world goes round is more tangible than that, MONEY!

in the beginning, i've always thought money would be a factor only in real life. how wrong i must be. me and a friend started raising a virtual pet because we enjoyed the games that they've provided. there are hundreds of games to play and different planets to explore. we were thrilled because finally we found something to attract us to come to the office for (you know, using the internet for personal enjoyment? come on! i know you all do it!). so anyway, the games kept us entertained and lead us to believe that we are not just ordinary salary seekers. as for the virtual pet, the objective of the games they provided is so you can make money to use to buy food and other things to keep your pet alive. for a few days, we enjoyed the pureness of fun and games. but a week or two after that... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!! it was not about who got a high score and who's pathetic at which games anymore. it's all about who spends more time online and who has more money! i could not believe myself when i realised that the real reason i'm still addicted to the virtual pet is because of money!!! what is the world coming to when something so cute and pure brings out the worse in humankind???

but that's not all, money is an issue in EVERYTHING. it's the determining factor to what we can or cannot have. it is the route of all greed!!! me and my friend (again) used the internet to book free air tickets for a holiday (as you can see, again, how much we are devoted to our work). it took us the whole day to actually win ourselves two plane tickets for a one night stay in singapore. hur~ the things we do...

with all the complains about money being an issue, there also lie another truth. without money, you can be sure that you will never be able to leave the borders of that tiny box you have built for a home. in the end, there is one thing to say about money... take it or die."

Ironically enough, one of my earlier blog posts ( ' i am free to live in a box ' ) was to complain about the same money issue. One day I'll be RICH!!!! *fingers crossing*
