In Australia, If car is 19000, after ten years, it will be less
than 500, give you because no 2nd hand dealer want it, if you go
along blue mountain and some long highway along australia and USA,
you can find throw away car in quite good condition, even have key
inside, just start and move on...but these places are damn ulu,
full of vultures and coyotes, who want to go..only those who want
to get rid of their own car but dealer do not want to take will
throw there, then take a ride from friend to go back.
When I was in USA, travelling from states to state to board a
vessel, the driver said, if you too slow, some can cut you and pull
a gun and shoot at you off the road, so you find some car lying
along the desert highway with a skeleton on the driver seat.
You see, everyone of us have our own suffering, not only you and
me, be it rich, poor, can do or cannot do in life, all have
suffering, from erectile dyfunction to poor health to no money to
divorcing to wearing green hat to childrens betraying father to
relatives killing each other for the assets and so on.
The day you are conceived inside your mother womb, the suffering
started, you start to struggle to survive, struggle to come out,
struggle for milk, struggle for sweet, toys, foods and love...then
as you grow up, with egos and pride, you struggle to maintain them,
struggle to beat and challenge your peer, your neighbour, your
fellow Taxis drivers and so on.
And as you suffer and struggle, you tend to see other pasture
are greener and better, and coupled with someone telling you, it
add on your hallucination, many are suffering, in fact all of us,
but seldom are there people who like to admit it, and in return
praise their life and their living conditon is good, this is pride
and ego at play,
just like you, drive red, must said red good, if not, no
face, lack of ego, no pride, drive silver, said silver good, drive
silver skoda, said skoda is good, you are very happy in driving it,
no fight on the road, said until like it is a best taxis in the
world, but deep inside you, is suffering.
Mai lah, let us be more frank with ourselves, a man will alway
see another man wife nicer, another man house better, another man
country brighter and another man life smoother, but in actual fact,
all are suffering. As we age, lack go of those youthful ego and
pride, be simple and live simple, if today huat, buy better food
for family, if today OBK, buy veges cheaper and good for health.
Remember, the biggest enemy is yourselves, if you can outbeat
yourself, you will be in control of your mind and at peace
