Well Friends......I guess it happens in every human soul's life, that suddenly at one point, one discovers oneself in the midst of crossroads(A.l.a Tom Hanks in the last scene of "Cast Away"); unable to decide which road to tread on. Will the path taken lead you to the desired destination or will it turn out to be the one which will lead to another road of opportunity completely unforeseen at the present point or will it squash every hope by terminating in a lifeless dead end? Coz in life, we don't normally have the opportunity to back gear to the point where it all went wrong and start all ova again!!
So in life, its about taking risks at such times(needless to say there's no certainty of reward) :P Leaving this tussle of risk and reward behind, lemme present to you a food for thought-----
Well, think of this beautiful planet called EARTH...where we mortals reside, it is ornamented with unscalable heights, unthinkable depths, diverse terrains, beautiful landscpaes and what not. Not only these, our predecessors have also contributed to its glorious beauty by building many works of WONDERS!! We are all free people with having freedom to travel anywhere and sleep in the lap of our beautiful mother earth.....but just think are we, commoners, really allowed to do so? There is a huge barrier which is called money or moolah , the insignificant looking paper with numbers scribed on it, invented by us for helping some of us to crush the dreams and aspirations of some others of us. This paper, if you have in abundance, at your disposal, will allow you to experience whatever you aspire, will compel you to greed for more.....and which if you have scarce, will make your life devoid of even the basic amenities of life. So, the fact is that even if we live in a democratic(of the people, for the people and by the people: having all the freedom as a citizen) country, if you don't have cash in your wallet, "Sorry bro, you are not free to go anywhere"! So, Money can be termed as for the people(those who have it), against the people(those who don't have it), by the people(created by people). So, even if one feels that one has every right to experience the architecture of the Great Walls or the ferocious Niagara Falls or the romance of Venice; but he/she is not free to do so--the hurdle being money. And even after spending the whole lifetime on this planet, the most intelligent of the animals is even unable to see even one third of it...leave aside the dream of roaming all around the globe!
The social status(rich/poor), the share market, the growth of countries, the corruption, the charity, the happiness of life, the government....each and every thing you point out revolves around money.........Just think--- In the race to be better than one another, aren't we creating obstacles in the path of our won growth? For clarification we refers to we..............the HUMANS......
Think about all these, while I decide the path which I ought to take....
