Perhaps I have finally learnt how to enjoy working. Such a mantality has been preached in almost every "happiness" publication, many of which I have purchased and read thoroughly, but to truly enjoy the moments of slogging was probably too masochistic to fathom.
Nevertheless, as we slowly grasp the concepts of life and its influencing forces, we come to realise the whys and whats, and come to accept the terms of the game.
There are 2 kinds of people in this world - The Players, and the Numbers.
Of the Players, they can be further split into 2 categories - Politicians and Businessmen.
To Politicians, Power is a Numbers Game
To Businessmen, Money is a Numbers Game
As for the Rest, either ways they are merely Numbers
Power is approximately equivalent to Money
Power + Money = Anything
Anything is approximately equivalent to Freedom
All the joy in the world is found in pursuing Freedom
In this game of life, we can't choose to backtrack, pause or opt out. And so we either accept the terms, or live in delusional misery. Should we accept the terms, we should also come to realise that in the game, you face other players, and the ultimate aim is not to be the wealthiest or most powerful, but to be the LAST MAN STANDING.
Perhaps it would be absurd to think that it is acutally possible to achieve such a status in one's short lifespan of approx 70 years. But it should ta least be the ever-resounding objective. It's really just a numbers game, so enjoy it, as games should be :)
