the curse of money

the fact is that money is neither good nor bad - it all depends on whether you are its master or slave. hmm, i really enjoy the short drama screened on every monday night - it is always exploring some heartwarming & meaningful stories.

today's story is about a man who once had a bowl of satisfying porridge and has since been unable to find any that came close to that. in his great dissatifaction and agony, he put up an offer of half million dollars for the best bowl of porridge. as the story unravels his past, the best bowl of porridge was one that was presented to him when he was penniless and shivering out of hunger. hence after having all the delicacies in the world, no amount of money could buy him the best bowl of porridge - for the best is something no amount of money can buy.

i was so touched, and for a split second i wondered if this is a sign for me, since i'm currently in a dilemma. i was just smsing my bf who's in germany right now - should i accept or reject the offer? it's enormous sum of money - should i give it up?

master or slave.....master or slave.........oh crap! the cursed money.....arrgh!
