The need and wants of mankind are endless or should I say end---unless he decides otherwise.That is the truth.One just doesn't want to stop and he or she just wanna more.Be it money, sex, food,pleasure, joy except the dark alleys of sorrow and despair.One gets to learn all these things as he grows up because he wants to compete with the outside world and not with himself.He goes on acquiring more and more and finds himself restricting his sphere of personal space and happiness.Do you think all rich men in this world are happy, genuinely?Is it a facade?Is it true that they need to keep adding more because of a sense of insecurity, or because they want to provide for their next generation/s?Is so what will the next gen do?Sit back , relax and blow up all that wealth where we have umpteen examples, or multiply it till you get addicted .Meetings at unearthly hours, rushing out to check if all is well at their factories and businesses,meeting all those who matter to ensure they prove to be a support rather than a deterrent e.g politicians,goons etc etc.Where can one stop and is it not enough to dispense the wealth that is not required through charity and other ways to uplift the not so privileged.Paying millions of dollars in tax and appearing in the front pages of the daily news is to show how much one earns and how straightforward one is when it comes to business.Filmstars for one.Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are truly rich and do a lot for the community and various causes without much hype.Bill gates drew the line as well and modestly stepped out.Azim Premji and Narayan Murthy are other examples who have a well chalked out personal goal and work towards it.Some just can't get over that craze to get the megabucks and would do anything to reach there.....simply anything.Ethics don't matter.What does one want in life to be honest.A house to shelter you( a 10 bedroom mansion is to show others as you require 25 square foot of space to stretch out really).Food to cater to your body twice a day( majority part of the body is water any way) .A 6 course meal and liquor to complement will be food for 10 days considering that the size of the stomach is as big as the closed fist!!!!What about the phenomenal wastage of the food not consumed?Transportation---12 cylinders gas guzzler or a self propelled 2 wheeler may be a bike at that.More and more people are anyway thinking about car pools and biking etc .Clothes to wear !!!What a shame if I don't wear an Armani and go to that meet ,what will they think about me??Hmm....what will they think?It is what you have to offer on the table using those gray cells given to you rather than the external facade that is flimsy and of no substance.A bunch of genuine friends to hangout with in times of need especially when your life takes you on a roller coaster.The only difference being the more you gun for those mega bucks the steeper and vicious the rides get as you really ride the coasters daily.One may term it as an adventure but is it worth .One can call it being a loser and not ambitious......is it so? Everything has a threshold........shouldn't this as well?
