no lah far from being a pastor. free thinker some more.
nope, a mix of elderly and entire families - some things that I never thought I would see in singapore until you really get down there. it almost feels so surreal. Can you imagine 2 families sharing a one room rental flat? with 7 children in all, youngest being an infant and oldest no more than 12? These are the people who do not know how to call for help, nor who to turn to. Just that they are nor reported in the media does not mean they do not exist.
I have also seen and know for myself the very rich - 7 cars, with a couple of supercars. Even an ex-neighbour of mine had 5 cars, and the cheapest was a GTR. and my current neighbour now just got himself a gallardo. both same age as me. It is this huge divide I encounter on a regular basis that I stopped whinning about life and start appreciating what I have, and not dwelling on what I do not have.
At the end of the day there is only so much you can eat and spend. We can choose to give others a hand with an encouraging word - it does not cost a cent. And when you start doing charity, it's pretty addictive. You know you make a difference to someone else's life.
whether the ultra rich do charity or not is beyond my control - I just do what I can.
nothing wrong with being materialistic - I am, too, I do not deny. It's like a revenge mentality I have due to my growing up years in poverty. Now that I can, I will. But also DO reach out to the less privileged. I have been there, so I want to give them this thing called hope.
I give not because I am rich, but because I know the feeling of having nothing.
wall of text and..... honestly I don't know what I'm blabbering on about hahahahahaha
end of the day, if you have a job and can put food on the table, that's all that matters ain't it?
