I find it disgusting and irritating when one jibed about money being not everything and that health being most important! Who doesn't know that one's health cannot be compromised? GIVEN the pinkest of health, money is indeed EVERYTHING! No money no talk, money walks the talk!
It is common to hear remarks made on the passing of the rich, such as "So what he is wealthy, he can't be buried with his possessions!" I find such remarks petty and uncalled for. Only those envious are capable of such sarcasms! Nothing so vicious will be passed on those who died poor, as perhaps, their existence are so insignificant to warrant nasty envy?..that they deserved to die?
When I was operating the pet shop then, I had customers asking if I provide boarding? stud? services ...... and I never fail to enlighten them that whatever services SPELL $$$$$, I provide!
While some would just take my reply as a joke, others looked at me with raised eyebrows as though questioning if I'm that MONEY FACED!.. and I would, with a smirk smile, send my silent retort across...SO WHAT IDIOTS, IF NOT FOR MONEY, WOULD I FEED AND CLEAN AFTER YOUR PETS' PEES & POOS WHILE YOU ENJOY YOURSELVES, HUH?!!!
Looking back, I wonder WHY I had been slogging away all those years...ain't that inane? for MONEY LAH of course! But WHY? I had once, indulged in self pity when I was left with no maids for a short period of time and had to be cleaning up the doggies' defecation...
WHY subject myself to such misery??....when I already own amongst others,a beautiful by my standard bungalow and had so much stashed in the bank? Very very broke now though, since having over committed in the Quayside seafront resort condominium. I am not one who goes for branded luxury and am just a simple person who enjoys being around home.
The answer?... I guess, like many others, to ensure enough personal estate for the everlasting comfort of our LOVED ONES when we're DEAD AND GONE......
