I Watched Too Much Documentaries
Finally, I'm able to stay connect with the WWW for a short while after much absenteeism. Streamyx @home was down for a coupla days and notebook hasn't sent for a fix; luckily my boyfriend brought home his G4. But I've noticed pretty much features are designed with the use of Windows -_-''
And fucking hell!!! I don't fucking know how to use even the simpler 'just click on the bloody upload image button and get the photos uploaded' steps. Sheesh. It just didn't seem to work; took ages to load what seemed to be never ending loading of the image(s) which defeat my whole purpose of this post - to upload more photos of another awesome villa to lookout for in Phuket which I've found a week or more ago, Sri Panwa :P
That asides, I've been watching A LOT A LOT A LOT of National Geographic and Discovery Channel in the recent months. Sometimes, Travel and Living too. Earlier this evening on Travel and Living was this documentary about Europe's Richest People and how they've and are living their lives until this moment. One of the celebrities is Uri Gennel (Pardon me, I don't quite remember his name) who earned millions of dollars every month in the 70s and how he'd mentioned in this interview that the more in tact he was with the material world, the more he had lost touch of himself, his real self and the meaning of life. And how John Lennon was the one who saved him from falling into what, to many, seem to believe money can buy everything with just one question - "What is spirituality to you?" At that point of time, he sold his houses in Manhattan and Connecticut, packed all his belongings and left for Japan together with his mother and wife. He then went straight to Mt. Fuji and stayed in the forest and meditated for a year or more with no connections with the outside world. He then returned to the States to start a new life as he'd found the whole new meaning of life.And he gave his two cents worth on materialism and staying away from it.
For one who'd achieved that much in life to say that, it's definitely easy-peasy; but what about those who constantly have to worry whether they'll have enough money to feed their families/themselves for just one meal? Would they think about 'rediscovering themselves' at this point of time or find whatever ways they could to earn just enough money to survive? Ok, maybe not to that situation as the answer is obvious. What about those middle-class earners who have families/themselves to feed and bills to pay every single month? One left with no choice but to chase for money to fulfil his/her commitments. Until the point when one no longer chase for money but letting the money to chase him/her, that's when his/her financial is so strong that he/she, may then consider of 'rediscovering his-/herself' (Sometimes I try to explain things which I, myself find it rather confusing =P)
What I'm trying to say is I do agree to an extent money is not everything but without money, one cannot achieve what he/she wants in life and; Please bear in mind, we cannot deny the fact that almost each of us has fallen into the 'materialism trap' in this jet-propelled world today.
