Race Race, Chase Chase.

well, we have a term for the urban lifestyle nowadays.
we call it a rat race.

well, do you find your life kinda stressful?
not seeing the end of things;
workload, exams, tests and everything comes after one another.
after common test you have exams,
then you have a bit of cca proficiency test,
and later you have a bit of common test.
and the cycle goes on and on again.

pretty the same for us teens when we enter the working society.
workload after workload, bills after bills;
then the cycle goes on, we get troubled by things that brings us to nowhere,
except for even more troubles to come.
all these will eventually stop,
at the end point of our earthly life.

sometimes i just wonder what this kind of rat race brought me.
for everyday we wake up, then start rushing for everything;
all we know that this is a routine,
and we have to stick to it to get the society working.
if one person is down, somehow this system will get affected.
all these hard work and troubles, eventually brings us nowhere.

this rat race in life, is inevitable.
often times, the race continues because the world is changing.
changing everyday. we have to race in order to survive.

the pointless chase in life, often bring us to many checkpoints.
many investors and bankers brought themselves vast riches.
what's next? even more riches to come.
and many workers earned themselves promotions after promotions.
what's next? to climb even higher than ever.
and then, many people study after studying various things.
what's after a bachelor? a masters, then PhD, and many more.

perhaps one reason that leads to this rat race,
is not because we have to keep the society going,
or not because we have to struggle to survive.
but because humans are selfish.
when one person is strong,
he or she wants to dominates over others.
subsequently, others wants to overthrow this dominance,
and make themselves the dominance one.
in this way, a pointless and never ending rat race begins.

would many say that socialism, communism are devil's ideas.
and they are created bound to fail, because they don't suit the world.
yes, they don't suit this world;
ideas that wants everyone to work together,
when the human nature is of such high selfishness;
these ideas will not work, no matter how hard we try.

if everyone is humble a bit, and willing to give in a bit,
we won't be competing over little things,
that caused many pointless chasing.
yes, our society or economy will collapse.
but something better will in turn, take its place.

so next time when you wake up in the morning,
ask yourself what's the point of doing your daily routine.
what are you trying to achieve?
and after achieving what you want,
what's next? what's at the end for you?

do you, really enjoy and have fun through all these pointless chases?
