People changed!

It’s funny how people could change into someone they are not used to be. One thing for sure, there is always a battle between two sides, either they become someone who’s adopting something good or they become someone who leave the kindness in them and prefer to go rogue. In my opinion, the perfect definition of each party is still cluttered and it depends on the point of view of every human being.

A close friend of mine once told me that his colleagues were starting to question him how he could be promoted fast. Everyone at his office know that he could get close easily with bosses. Don’t blame him for having a loveable and daring yet opportunist personality. He’s simply opening the right door at the right time. That’s all.

What bugged me the most is that his colleagues which were once my co-workers as well, changed. They’re starting to distrust each other, thinking maybe dirty things involved in the process of their teammate’s promotion, they’re working for something they think better than their idealism, they’re working for money.

The people we knew for so long, whom we went through everything together are gradually leaving us because apparently we don’t have the same vision and mission anymore. We prefer to do things in our own way. But why should money take part in our life?. Why people think money is important?. I’m very aware that money can buy you things, but does money mean everything?. Will you change your idealism for money?, will you die for money, will you kill someone for money?, will having much money makes you happy?.

I’m probably naive or just stupid but i believe there’s still some dignity in humanity. This is why i dare to say that money is important, but it shouldn’t be the goal of our life. Human is a material being, therefore as long as we live, we will always have the needs to fulfill physical matters. Fortune, love, acknowledgement, appreciation, lust, envy, greed, achievement, existence, yadda yadda yadda. I wonder if it is possible for human to be completely detached from material things then find peace and contentment. You finally said enough to yourself and decide to not feeding on those things.

Because feeling better in your own skin is always comforting. Don’t waste you time contemplating on how walking in other people’s shoes. The what if scenarios are tiring and finally will eat you up. After all, there’s always somebody out there who's better, richer, smarter, more good looking, more talented or whatsoever than us. It's like a maze which has no ends. The question is are you stupid enough to go into the maze and get lost or you decide to draw your own path.

Just define who you are, what do you really want to do in your life, plot plans and go without giving a damn care about what people think of you.
