The greatest thief of anyone's time and life is regret. There is this cosiness about feeling sorry for yourself, what could have been, what was supposed to be and what should have been. But wait a minute, what if you had the life of say, a mosquito! Yes. That small little irritating thing that most people just swat without a second thought. What if that was a human being's life, the sum total of it? Born, look for some tender spot in some mammal, draw blood, overfeed, puke and die, is that what they do? I think, (no offense meant here) a lot of people in the fourthworld do live the lives of mosquitos.
The year, meant to end on a somewhat low note, suddenly looks different. I have been content to work hard to become a millionaire, now I met someone who wants to be a billionaire. Where I think of ordinary utility life-easing gadgets, they talk these figures,and whats more, this is someone who has lived that life - and lost it all, and they have every intention of working to get it all back! We are talking and the more they talk, the better I like what I am hearing!
Sometimes, its not about money, but matching needs, the desire to succeed, hard work, ambition and what and how one is going to go about getting their cents... or dollars. Hello December!
