Controversial issues

Well, I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" yesterday and I must say it sort of stimulated my brain cells and set me thinking. Similarly to the movie "Click", "The Devil Wears Prada" addresses issues pertaining to balancing interpersonal relationships and work commitments. Tough as it seems, sometimes it is only when we lose something or someone do we start to realise that we've missed out on alot more of other things as well, and that we're actually not as happy as we were before.

Some people spend a large part of their youth trying to earn as much $$ as possible, hoping that this will help pave the way for a better life with all the luxuries when you grow older. True, living a luxury life gives you the status and confidence you yearn for, but if doing that makes you lose your loved ones and reshapes your character to someone whom you yourself can't even recognise, what's the point? If being rich cause you to lose your friends, I would rather remain a pauper and bask in the love of my friends and family.

Money can buy ANYTHING but love. This cold hard fact can't be changed. Hence, no matter how rich you are, you wouldn't be happy without your loved ones around. Though yes, money can promise a better life and new-found friends, but can you be sure those so-called "friends" are not sticking around with you bcos of your $$? Your family will always be there for you, but only friends who stick with you thru thick and thin are true friends of yours. Shunning you at times of trouble shows you how much that friend cares.

Maybe it's time for us to slow down our footsteps and look around you. Identify who are the ones who really care for you. Ask yourself if you've been treating the person with the same amount of care and concern they've shown for you. If not, there's still time for amendments. Even if your whole life falls down on you, just remember that you still have great pals who will be there for you, and you'll feel more consoled.
