How much is Enough...

 Materialism will not take you too far…one day you will leave stash of cash in your bank accounts to be enjoyed by your kids , wife and family – who may not know how much pain and sacrifice was done to earn that pieces of paper we call money!

All life we are consciously or unconsciously living through the law of Diminishing marginal Utility – we buy our first phone and go ga-ga over it – an iphone may be our best buy , it surely gives us a thing to boast about – an adrenaline rush and boosts our confidence but next year when Apple launches the next version of if – suddenly yours feels not so important or now that you may treat it as just another phone – nothing wrong with you though – it is a basic human propensity and behavior to let loose old things – that is exactly what life is all about.

We are on the run for “MORE” and that is never ending, as we are oblivious to the fact that we have limited time as humans and that materialism wont always give us joy or be our constant companion in our lives – at many instances, it actually acts as a burden !!!

Your anxiety level raises when you get to know that your 2^nd car has been hit in the parking or for that matter someone has creeped through your bank account and siphoned off all of your money – that should give you goose bumps but at the same time what if you had only one car which you so earnestly needed or had money which you could have enjoyed on your day to day living – I am not vouching that we should not save but how much? ….

We have our wardrobes full of clothes for every purpose and also a beeline of shoes and slippers to choose from – not knowing each will serve the same purpose BUT it surely is an ego boost when we have a choice , which many don’t!

We want to buy multiple properties securing our future for the purpose of living an old age with our near and dear ones – but on the contrary, I have seen many oldies living in seclusion of their homes – alone with no one to talk to – kids have taken their own route for betterment of their careers – wife is no more – they have money in their bank accounts, multiple properties – which have been nominated in names of their kids when they would be no more…What kind of old age we are striving for…???

Whole life we are struggling to make ends meet and save a little for our future and for the betterment of our families… many of us do marvelous things in life – achieve great heights and save much for their families only to be left in oblivion and suffer through their old age….

Life is a beautiful reminder that GOD has given us much to cherish… enjoy nature, travel, have long lasting relationships, friends and treasure nature – stop a little, look around and contemplate, how much is enough…the question is for everyone to ponder and think twice before we are too late and time for deliberation has gone foo far off….
