I have given it a thought and come to accept that most of us won’t get ALL that we want in life.
We can dream for a nice house, fancy cars, beautiful wife and kids, gentle understanding husband, bank account with a lot of zeros – the list is never ending.

The world is full of stories about rich people with enough money for the next 7 generations, but after they passed away, the heir starts fighting among each other for a bigger portion of the pie. The lawyers ended up being the actual winner each time.

Famous celebrities with millions of followers on socmed; ever seen the photos of them hounded everywhere by paparazzis? You can’t go anywhere without camera flash blinding you and people shouting, at times to get that angry response which in turns sells the tabloid more.

We will realise what we are actually chasing is happiness, peace with one self.

You want to leave a legacy? Fine. But at some stage people will forget that you exist. 100 years down the road your descendants might not know you exist.

I asked my mum about her grandfather; she doesn’t have any recollection of him. I heard some cultures like the Arabs would memorise their forefathers names for generations.

Better start working on that family tree scrap book now.

Stay hungry, stay safe.
