Powerful, but lonely
Many men and women have the career, the wealth, the good life, so it seems. But many of these people also do not have the one thing that would make all the wealth worth it – a family. Many have confessed that in their quest to build an empire, they forget to create memories, to date, to bond with someone else, and so in the end all they have is their material possessions.Gloria:Simpson:Chadae:Mark:
How does one get to this stage, and what should people do to ensure that this is not their reality?
It is a sad reality but many people are lonely and so the men chase the frock tails of the underage girls to tickle their fancies, and the women prey on the young men promising them Benz and Range Rover to entice them, and to give themselves a chance at excitement. It is ridiculous!
It is sad but I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable. I am a teacher and I tell my students everyday to ensure that they build a career, but to also create memories and don’t forget to smell the roses. We tend to overlook the simple things in life and when we get to the finish line, we are a bucket filled with regrets.
There is this woman at my office who is super successful but a total mess. She has the power, but it is evident that she is lonely because she is almost 50 years old with no children and no spouse. It is really sad when you have everything – the house and the car – but no one to share it with. I am 27 years old and I am not about to walk that route. Life is for making money, yes, but it is also for spending time enjoying what you worked for.
Money fi mek yes, but mi nah spend my days a slave so much that mi forget to actually live. Life is short and we don’t get a second chance so we just have to make the one chance worth it.
