This topic comes to me whenever I see the people around me. I am not talking about only about enjoyment in ones life. This is more in relation to money making and other things. It is natural for anyone to take up jobs which offer better pay. The question here is what are you going to do with all that money. Ofcourse you will try spending it but here's the catch, you are busy making money. Therefore you are stuck in a vicious circle.
Instances is what people want. Okay, I see people in Bangalore leave for their jobs in the morning around 7-8 am so that they can make it to their offices which can start anywhere between 9-10:30 am. So well done if one reaches on time in traffic conditions of Bangalore. Once in the office, people are busy trying to meet deadlines or finishing up with their work. If anyone finishes his job by 5pm he is lucky to be back home or somewhere enjoying sometime. If you leave late, you are tired enough to just show up at your home and have dinner. Then you crash for the night. This process continues throughout the week. When weekend shows up, and you have 2 days holiday then thats another blessing to spend time. Even if you get only a Sunday off then you atleast get to relax. But what happens, some chores are left, like paying bills, getting this and that etc. So life moves on. Currently this is the way of life.
There was a time when we knew which day used to pass by, but currently we have to keep track of which week or month passes by as everything is zooming past us all at a fast rate. People have to learn to respect their life and earnings. Once I heard from a senior citizen, why are you cutting on sweets and salty stuff. He said "Have it now because once you get old you will end up with Diabetes or High blood pressure, then none of this can be taken. If you are planning to enjoy later in life, then forget it". Those days are gone when people were healthy in their 60s. Now crossing you late 40s are itself scary and a challenge.
I am not saying to spend all you savings. Savings is an important part of life but I am just saying that one should know how to have some fun when you have the age also. Stay in touch with friends and take care of your loved ones. Life expectancy is nowadays reducing a lot. Even if Medical field have found many ways to save human life then also thousands die each day due to Technology which itself brings good and bad events. Also major diseases keep poping up in different times. Another example, Small Pox and Polio was a problem once in the 70s and 80s. It has been nearly eradicated due to the hard work by the medical professionals but we have ended up with deadly diseases like HIV and AIDS, now Mutated Bird Flu. Anyways once we get a solution to this, we will end up having something more dangerous. It is nature.
