Respect me as a human, please.

On saturday night, we had a dinner at his boss’s house. Breath-taking. Even the walk leading to his house, makes one breathless.. once again, it’s being affirmed. Finance is where the money is..

A few days ago, I was just feeling horrified by the lack of respect one has for others. After the dinner with Mr B’s boss, I took away more valuable thoughts. The importance of knowing what one wants in their life and the various paths one could take to attain his or her goals. To attain financial freedom at an as early age as possible is in the mind of most people. I want that very much too. Yet, I hesitate the paths I have to undertake to attain that freedom. I am very clear on the terms I don’t wish to exchange for to obtain the money. I understand that my positive attributes comes from treating people with sincerity and my constant daily struggle to be one of true individuality and character. This constant tug-of-war between happiness and misery will only become stronger with age.

I believe the people around us are very good examples and mirrors of the kind of person we want ourselves to be or not.

True friendship will stand the test of time. This is very very true. I just received a sms from a once very good friend whom I thought is worth being friends. But now that I looked back, our friendship seems to be superficial where small gestures of showering friends with gifts, food and clubbing seems to be the definition of a good friend. I was sooo wrong. Huge disappointment I must say. A pity.

Like a mirror, this incident showed me how ugly it is to be a person of arrogance and to take others for granted. Speak with your heart and not for who you think you are is what I must remember always.

Relationships should be carried out with dignity. With this incident as a mirror, I must be careful that in my engagement and interaction with others, I do not carry them out without dignity for oneself and others.
