Week 31-2021 : The Rat Race of Life?

 In a rather unorthodox update, today is not about stocks but market capitalization data is updated below.

 I have taken a break to emotionally redeem myself. I do feel happier and better connected to my inner self. I did get a second lease on life and it has shown me new realities and a different perspective on life for a better cause. Life is a lot more than wealth and material. It is also about connecting with our real inner self, cherishing great moments of passion, happiness, joy, and making great memories with dear ones. Time once passed will never return. Often tangled in a web of materialism and wealth building, are we trampling our most precious and invaluable life for paper? . One can never feel the true happiness of life without being humble and emphatically connecting with others. 

To give and receive unconditional love, acceptance, trust, honor, loyalty, and respect is truly the greatest joy of this mortal life. To understand that life is merely a phase that must come to an end for everyone, yet we struggle very hard to achieve materialistic possessions but do very little effort to connect with our true inner self and try to understand who are we? We take nothing to our graves and leave nothing behind except great memories. Even material possessions of the deceased left behind are valued for the memories and great moments they remind us of. Let us begin a new struggle in life where accomplishments are not measured in numbers but in emotions, empathy, and passion. A way of life where workaholism is not tolerated, emotions are respected and happiness is cherished over materialism. Where work-life is balanced with healthy personal time to connect with friends and family for creating great memories together. Where every photo, every possession, and every penny earned or spent tells a story of great joy, pleasure, emotions, and feeling alive. 

Let us not be mere mortals who exist to follow a robotic routine but a society where we live and behave more humanely with pure emotions. A pledge to not corrupt that baby-like innocence of our future generations with shadows of fear, greed, and a rat race to the top. Let us build a society that is not about valuing our existence by our wealth and jobs. Where relations are carved out of true passion and emotion. A place where children are raised to feel human first, have empathy as their core values, and be at peace with their true inner self. A culture that is free of pride, prejudice, racism, hate, bigotry, and stereotyping? Can we do that? A new day has come with new questions to think and ponder? As one of my nearest and dearest friends always says, "there is 5% hope even when 95% is gone". Do we all have that hope? 

Have a very nice and bright day and do let us know your views in the comments section below.
