Day 3
The main goal of almost everyone is to earn money. Without money, it is hard for human to live in the system of current society. Most of the things we do everyday is to earn money to maintain our daily lives such as fulfilling our basic needs and buying a lot of unnecessary things which we suppose would make us happy. In order to earn money, most of us have sacrificed our freedom for it. We stuck in a 8 to 5 weekday work, occasionally take some days off to travel which we mostly call it an “escape” or “get away”. But why would we let ourselves stuck in a situation or work that we constantly want to escape from? Yes, money. It is the almost the first criteria that everyone consider when looking for a job. It is also the main standard for people to judge whether the person is living a good life or not. If someone earns very little, he or she would be viewed as having a tough life or being unfortunate. Even when we pray to gods or making a wish for ourselves or others, wealth is mostly the first thing come to mine.
Of course, you will say that no, I never wish for money; I wish for health and world peace or something else. But that is because you are having enough money to maintain your livelihood. But wanting money does not equal evil, as long as you do not harm other people and earn it legally. However, being too greedy in earning money is not good. You do not just give away your time, freedom, joy; you are also giving away your life. My cousin once suggested me to find part-time jobs during weekend or after my full-time work. Her theory is that if you are busy earning money, you do not have time to spend money. Hence, you will become rich. Although I did not refute, I thought that she was crazy. I am not a money-earning machine nor does anyone. No one should adopt this mindset. Unless you are living in a condition that not earning enough money would put your family in a tough situation; then, you need to do it. Such as students who leave home to attend university, they need to work part-time to support their living. That is the case where they need to work very hard for money (but only temporary). No one should sell all their time to obtain wealth because what they lose is much more than that.
All in all, we should set our priority right. If your family really need financial support from you, then yes, you need to get up early and work out ass off. Of course, only if your family members are dependent people. If they are capable of finding jobs, they should. However, if you trade your time in order to be well-off, I can say that it is not worth it. Please do not lose yourself in front of wealth.
