What is it like to have more?
We all know very well that the human's nature is greed. We are all basically never feel satisfied. I've been questioning this all my life: why does God created greed in human's traits?
Can't come up with answers, i try to satisfy my self by saying well.. We need black to know white. It is that simple.
because of greed, humans want more. And more. And much more. In the end, we feel like we never have enough. People who can feel like they already have enough are people who basically are almost perfect. I've been trying hard to appreciate what I have. To be grateful for what I have in life, to be fortunate enough to have a shelter during rainy days. Have an aircon for hot days. And so on, so on and on.
Some humans are rich in materials. The world, they say, is owned by only 10% of men population. This group of 10%, the way I say it, are showering in gold. They obviously have every little thing they need and many more. They don't really care about the price tag anymore. Cause hey, they got more money than anybody else. Who cares how much things cost? They can afford them anyway.
In times where my greed takes over my good angelic sense, i can't help but wonder how it's like to have the world in your hands. To just point at things and own them the next minute witout bothering about the price. Without having to wait for a big sale season.
Is it nice when every little thing you touch turns to gold?
Of course we all know the great king midas. Who literally turns anything to gold just by the touch of his hands. We all know how his 'gift' backfired and became a curse that actually took everyone he loved away from him. Is it just a tall tale or is it really a metaphor to our real world? Is having a 'gold hand' eventually send away our loved ones?
I see rich and effing rich people around me. They seem happy, enjoy life to the fullest. Though there are many who constantly say they're not that happy at heart, I can't help but wonder if it's true. I wonder if we're just envying what they have and we don't have?
In the end, I still have a dream of being inside that group of 10% who own the world. Call it greed, call it useless ambition or a sin. But since i wanna know how it's like to be flooded with money, i actually have to be that person who have money, right? You have to experience it to know how it feels like. Oops.
Until then, i just have to put up with what I have, be forever grateful with it, and maybe, just maybe, someday I wouldn't want more than what I need. *fingercrossed :)
