I just want to talk about something. Money.
A friend of mine randomly asked me a few days ago.
"Hey you're rich right?"
And honestly speaking, I'm stunned by it. Not because it's reverse psychology, and I don't know how to answer it, and I got shocked. But just because... I don't know how to answer the question. And honestly speaking, it's a pretty weird and uncertain question to be asked, yet alone, answered. But oh well, what if, there are two scenarios.
If I'm actually poor:
Nope, I'm not rich... I came from a poor family.
If I'm actually middle-income:
Nope I'm not. I come from a middle income family!
If I'm actually rich:
I'm not rich. Even if I am rich, I don't want to feel rich, and I don't want to be rich.
I once came up with the quote. To be rich, without feeling rich. And to be poor without feeling poor. That's one of life's greatest bliss. And I think it's pretty true. I just want to live a simple life. A normal life where it's all balanced. As a matter of fact, I would rather dine in simple and homy restaurants rather than those high class restaurant. I would buy simple clothings rather than branded ones. I would just rather live a simple life.
So to actually ask me such questions, I'm a bit shocked. Cause I simply don't know how to answer the question. And as you can see, my answer above. It would be pretty weird, and confusing if I were to give that answer. And I'm sure my question will lead to that two words - reverse psychology. And thus, there's no definite answer is there?
But yes, that's my answer. I don't count myself as being rich. I don't want to feel rich. Even if I'm rich, I don't want to indulge myself, lavish myself with money. I don't think it's something right, something worth doing.
Cause at the end of the day, you will leave this earth with the legacy you left on life.
You will not leave your price tag on earth.
