The Moley Prophet

I used to think that money is the most important reason why I live on this Earth. The reason why I continue to study in a school is for the sake of my future. Money is still important to me. However, I have found that money doesn’t lure me away from betraying myself, my integrity and my own happiness.

Sometime ago, I left a job which I started for a brief period, for a single reason, I wasn’t happy with it. Its concept did not make sense to me to continue working there. Of course, it may have been a different issue altogether if I were the boss. I do not like to be bossed around, I do not like for my work to interfere with my personal time. When I’m saying personal time, I mean working full time during hours when I want to work on other stuff. I’m never bothered about bringing work home but I do not want to be tied at work, especially one which I do not like.

Some people may never understand why I’m happy being where I am today, volunteering full time, and taking on ad-hoc relief teaching. It doesn’t matter to me because they have not understood the spirit of volunteerism. Being not able to grasp this concept is why some people never got out of the rat race. They are stuck in the world of earning that petty salary which they bring home at the end of the month. Money means too much to them that they would never let go of even the smallest amount and they would rather live on that stable income than go for something big. Sorry man, that is not the life I want.
