Recently, I was at the bank with Matt to start a joint account. There, the executive was trying to sell us plans and products related to wealth accumulation. She spent more than an hour explaining to us how the different plans worked and why the plans are good for us.
I walked out the bank feeling nonchalent, except, I guess that a seed has sprouted in mind. I had a new idea, or maybe only new to me.
Has Faith in our fellow humankind dwindled to such an extent that we have to place our trust in something called 'Money'? Everyone is rushing to put their money in institutions in the hope that one day, when they need the money, they would have more than what they really have. Well, perhaps it is true to some extent that money comes in useful in times of need. But, are we carrying it too far with our obsession?
Can we still depend or trust the people around us when something happens? It seems that this trust level is decreasing at an exponential rate. Or am I the one being difficult and distrusting all these years?
I tell people that no amount of money would help if I lose Matt. If he is gone, I will be the next one to go, most probably. If I have been cursed with misfortunes, I would rather end my life and be gotten rid off in the simplest way possible so that I will not be a burden to anyone on Earth. Am I extreme? (I do not want to die so early cos I am very happy with my life now. BUt if it does happen?
I am still wondering and thinking........
