Are we living in a Materialistic world?
Sometimes I wonder whether isit the society who forces us to become the ugly human we are or we ourselves are blinded by our desires and greed. Quoting myself as an example, I leave my homeland (away from my parents and friends) to seek for a better future. Yesh, I am getting higher pay and a better quality style of life right now but am I not persuing the Materialistic factor in life by doing so? Leaving my family and friends is always a very tough choice for me and my wife and sometimes I do wonder whether it is the right thing to do.
However, watching my friends slogging their life away back in my homeland and thus spending a lot less quality time with family and friends is also equivalent to my situations.
Whats the point of working so hard and spending so little quality time when I can work lesser and spend more quality time when I go back for a holidays. Delimma situations? I guess this is another which come first -chicken or egg type of question.
Being in Perth for 3-4 years really force me to grow up and learn to make tough choices. I got a good job currently however I wish to move on from the constant stress IT line. I guess I will take some extra course to enrich myself and of course , secure more promotions and higher pay (sighz.... how materialistic I am).
Sometimes I do wish just to strike some big lotto and return to homeland with no worries~ Dreams dreams Dreams again~~

haha.. its gd to feel grown up agn ma.. society chg us or we're blinded by our own greed? on the surface, society chg us.. society is a v powerful force.. human influence is v strong.. everyone wan to hav power, status, money.. but ultimately, we're blinded by our greed.. its deep inside ourselves that make up this society.. if everyone is satisfied with juz enough food and shelter, tis current unhealthy society wont exist.. but it doesnt mean we mus be completely devoid of everything.. as long as we hav e basic needs, (wont die of hunger, safe from harm) we can try to be satisfied.. but how many of us can reali be satisfied with such "low life"? i oso cant make it now in my life.. so here i am "talking soldier on the paper.. lolz..
At least u got a nice new job right?
