Minigun,
The practical truth is, money isnt everything. I've been there
and know what's it like, to be fetted like a prince, dismissed
like a beggar and had to crawl back to where I am to realize this.
But who or what I am is not important.
The important one here is you. I had my share
of women in life, to know that there are gold
diggers, but more critically, women who are solid pure gold
themselves. How much money do you really need?
$100k, $1mil, $1bil? Is it ever enough? And for
what?
The reason is only to support a lifestyle.
Do you need to be fed on abalone daily? I've known of
friends who got sick of it and ended up feeding to their
pet dogs. Holidays in Rome? Is it any different on TV
documentary? Skiing in swiss alps? Trudged up in mud? Havent
we have mud in Spore too?
A porche? nothing more than a box in 4 wheels to get to
point A to pt B? Get you to your destination faster, but to do
what? Fear crowds and mingling? Do we live on a secluded
private island where no crowd exists?
I will not deny there are women who prefer the good life, but
there are women who are realistic. All such women want is
security and your sincerity, to take care of them. Some will not
even mind sharing their last piece of bread with you.
However, you as a man must never take such women for granted.
They exist and may be more than you realize. Similarly, they too
are only looking for men who will take care of them, love them,
cherish them, and never to take them for granted, regardless of his
station in life.
The only problem is you - what are you really looking for? Cindy
Crawford ? Paris Hilton? Without which you rather spend your live
alone? Or suffer from the fate of fatalism, having low esteem of
yourself and believing you are incapable of anything in life except
for a small room? Even that, does a small room matters if you are
kept sheltered?
If roadsweepers or cargo hands can get married and have kids,
why not you? And where else in this world does any govt pays you
money while you attend courses so that you can upgrade and earn
more money, nowhere else other than our Singapore society
today?
Sorry, Minigun, I am afraid I cannot rationally accept your
excuses. You alone determine your actions and what you want, and
its performances determine your rewards.
