Why do we need to work?

I often ask myself this question, "Why do we need to work?". And I had a myriad of answers to that question, as follows;

1)To kill time

2)To do something useful with our lives

3)To give ourselves a sense of empowerment that we are independent and not dependent for anything

4) To earn money

5) To earn money

6) Money

7) Money

8) Money

9) $$$$$$$

Yup. Why do we work? For money!!. That's all. There is no other reason why we work. If you say u work because you enjoy the challenge it gives you. You might say that for a while, but over the long haul, it's strictly for the money!! We force ourselves to wake up early in the morning, force ourselves out of bed, put on some nice decent clothes and head to work and mingle with the colleagues and complain about a whole myriad of issues from the the jams on the public transport, to the bosses and other colleagues, etc and then head back home and continue what we were doing.

It makes you think. Why are you doing this exactly. To survive in this world, we need money to pay for our bills, food and so on. And this goes on till our last breath. One life is over. So with this approach, is life worth living? Maybe? No?

"Money is the root of all evil"

"Money is the root of all evil". What a quote. I mean from the minute I have entered the working world and joined many other individuals in the chase for money, one can go mad. It's crazy!!! Everyone needs money to live and more importantly, survive. But the extent to which pple would go to earn money, its crazy. It makes sane pple do insane things to get a bit of money. And you know what, earning money is one thing, but being greedy is another. Some fellas are so rich, and filthy rich that you wonder whether they will be able to spend all their money in this lifetime. I mean come on, how much money do you really need. Pple have made chasing money into a real race. I dont know but I am getting very disillusioned by this insatiable thirst that I see in the people around to get rich. My question to them, when do u stop!! I mean once you are able to buy for yourself a decent set of clothes, get a decent roof over your head and decent food on your table, isnt that enough? Haha. I guess not. They want everything that comes along with money; status, image, power, material goods and respect. I am sorry but in my book, life is not measured by how much rich you are, but how many lives u have touched, changed and improved. Be it a family member, relative, friend or a complete stranger. Life becomes much more meaningful and gratifying if you are able to do that. Happiness is doubled when shared with someone else whom you genuinely want to help from the bottom of heart.

It's been a long time..

I am looking to start a blog on Bollywood. Thats right. I had to. I am hoping to create an online community for fellow Bollymovie viewers to discuss their thoughts abt the movies they have just seen. I desperately need to, coz I would like to compare my views with yours.

So here goes.. www.bollywoodfilmreview.wordpress.com
