At the End Money Becomes Important
What are we living for?
I ask this question myself most of the times. Each time I got an answer of something like financial freedom, nice family life or a job where I fit into.
Now I started to think about where these ideas came from. It leads me to some other interesting facts. All these three things I mentioned above not just came from inside of me. It's just induced into me. Now the question is 'By whom'?
We all think we are free. We think we chose the lifestyle we live in. Is that true? Are these dreams we have are real? The first thing you needed to understand is you can't think of something you have no information about. So it's all about the information we have. We have a lot of information in our brain. We are aware of just only a few parts of that.
There are a lot of data which we are not aware of, processing inside our brain. The data we got from the society, media and the powerful ones who rule us. Even when we are not aware of that, this information plays an important role in our decision-making process.
The information starts from a celebrity's fashion style we see on the social media to an insurance company's ads. Where you can see a family where everyone's good looking and smiling all the time. All these ads are inside our brain even when we are not aware of that.
Finally, we reach at a place where we want to be the guy in the ad. The one with the perfect wife, perfect family, perfect job and perfect fashion. All this come to the point of earning money. So for that, we need to find a job to earn it. So we apply for jobs in these companies who put the ad on the screen. Finally they got what they really want, hard-working employees and blindly following customers.
Also the mantra of 'Working Hard will only be the way to something' is punched in our brain. So when you don't do something hard you become depressed due to the baggage of this mantra.
What is happening when we work hard? Are we enjoying it? We only care about the reward. The journey towards achieving it is boring to us. Everyone around is making us do it. Because they know we want the reward. What if we care more about is the journey? Nobody can control us. Then only we can say that we are free.
Truly one wants is a smart mindset to live according to the situation and put effort into something he believes in. When you put effort into something valuable for you there is no pain. Even if there is, that pain gives you happiness. The journey becomes interesting. When the journey becomes interesting there will be no problem even if you don't exist for the reward.
Finally, we don't have to live inside the walls with just nice family life, saving a little money and other small things that the society put inside our brain.
It's all about looking inside us and finding the trusted source of information. And with that information living smartly.
What we need to explore is not a fancy lifestyle.
