There's someone that's getting quite a bit of my attention couple of months back, personality's so intriguing, her voice, her smile made me much more curious. Yes, just curious, why only curious? I'll let you guys know 2 years from now, I promise, so do not ask, it will not be answered anyways.
Not sure if people are usually comfortable around me, willing to share most of their stuff, there's not much ways to validate anyways so I usually listen. It's really easy for me ever since I've stepped into the path of Sociology, the keen interest in how each and everyone think, feels, behaves tingle almost every senses, it's one of the most pleasurable experiences getting answers that are beyond what my pathetic ignorant mind could think of. Sex, probably the only thing that beat this, but what do I know haha.
So we've been chatting or rather she's been sharing and we came across this topic while talking about ex-es, how would life be, for her then and now, and when she really wishes to get married. And of course I'll usually start by being aggressively ignorant about the world and bringing up how materialistic women are these days.
The answer I received was sublime, at least to me.
"To marry a rich man that will never love me, the least I'd get is a fortune. BUT to marry someone poor whom loves me, he cannot guarantee the same love when he becomes successful. Every men that has been bestowed with power became pricks, and that's the facts of life, which, you can't blame women these days for trying to stay afloat, to survive"
We've all heard the stories of rags to riches, but few have known how men turned. And yes, I was caught absolutely off-guard, and even till now, I've yet to find any solid argument to turn this into a fair fight for men, less turning this whole materialistic claim around.
No matter what people say about True Love and how MONEY isn't EVERYTHING and MONEY can't buy HAPPINESS or LOVE, I shit you not, MONEY is just about everything, not everything but close.
It's not that I'm conceding defeat to the power and wonders of wealth but I'm merely accepting the triumphant side of wealth and still searching for the other flip side of the fairy tale ending I yearn to have or believe it to be real.
Life's a journey, life ends when you stop going on a journey...
