What's having a life to you?
1. Going out, movies, dinner at fancy restaurants, shopping as
an when u like?
2. Making alot of money, monitoring business, stockmarkets?
3. Living in a penthouse, overlooking the sea?
4. Playing golf, surfing, wakeboarding?
5. Climbing the mountains, treking in 3rd world countries?
6. Helping the poor and sick?
7. Making money by soccer betting?
8. etc.
Most of our defination of life is not defined by ourselves, but
rather from what we see, hear and got influenced from
advertisments. Citibank's version might be golfing, being rich,
staying in a great condo, driving a fast car. M1's version will be
going out, being happy in the sun. Some documentaries may show
youths skateboarding throughout the night without a care in the
world, other shows may present being a inventor, inventing creative
technologies from secondary times, spending their life in reseach.
Other shows may be "having life" being some1 with an outlaw
attitude, acting cool, smoking, drugs, lots of gals, easily
provoked, etc.
What is your defination of "having a life"?
Some enjoy their work as a social worker with mininum pay. Some
enjoy golfing, yet some play golf for the sake of it. Some may
enjoy surf net the whole day, others may be spending time with
friends the whole day. Yet there are others who enjoy "getting
gals" at a club, and there are people who love treking to the
himalayans.
What is life to you may not be life to other people. As defined
by a business associate of mine sometime ago, "having life" is
doing what u truely enjoy. It's not about what your friends say, or
what the advertisements advertised.
In this new age world of ours where we are bombarded every
minute with information on others'impression of what is a quality
life, do we still have the capability to choose, to listen to
ourselves what is life to us?
