Are you the
man of your words?
Do you
cared about what other people say about you?
Are you
doing the things in life that you wanted for yourself?
I’m a
Chinese man from a Chinese cultured family, so as my dad, so as my grandfather,
so as my mum, so as her parents and families. Chinese are full with customs,
don’t cut your nails at night or don’t point at the moon…superstitions…bunch of
them. I guess other cultures too…
But in this
modern world, human tend to go back and search for their true selves. Meaning
to say that everyone now wanted to do what they wanted even it is against their
culture or families’ best practices. For example me, I’m from a family that
everyone needs to work hard and long to earn money so you can have a car , a
house and a family of your own to be successful in the bigger family and
consider accepted. It makes sense for me when I’m still in the small world of
my own, but it gets funny when I grew older and made discoveries over time. You
don’t have to do that, that is just a trend that the industrial ages made up to
protect the rich being richer and the middle class to continue produce middle
working class people for them to work. My dad is a middleclass working class
guy, a pure one. He works and spend, but I can see that he wanted to get out of
the circle in that rat race but failed a few times and I think that he put up
the white flag, to me it is because he did not invest his time to study well in
how to do business and just invest in money and hope everything to turn out
right, that is the reason why every 90% of new companies closed down after 3
years.
Back to the
culture story, here I am achieving everything I could. 2 cars, a house, a
family, so now? Now what? Can I go do what I want to do?(sit down and play guitar
everyday?) No..i can’t I’m so into the culture stuff that even that I knew but
it seems that I wanted to be….to have all that to feel better. Can I just lose
it all, travel to Tibet and be a monk? Can you lose everything you have now?
Will you?
Can you
give up everything when you are half way through?
What will
happen if you really do it? Will you live another life? DO you have courage to
make this change? If you can’t change from listening to pop songs to heavy
metal, how can you change your life? Can you stop smoking overnight?
Shit
happens.>…But if you know how to control the shit….they might happen
differently and you are prepared…Prepared to accept the Shits………
Shits can
be cruel…shit can be hot or cold…. They can fuckup your life any way they want
and if you let them let loose….You’re in a lot of trouble…
So now
what?
Give peace a chance?
John Lennon?
Yoko Ono?
Or plain Paul?
Money or life?
