Sorry for the plagiarism now but this line from jerry Maguire was too irresistible to pass and the roll of events in the recent past had been picture perfect and fitting for this quote. Well ok the annual major and gala event occurred recently in college and everyone (well those who cared) were very very eagerly looking forward to that. All fun all freaking out all expecting a lot…..and there’s the catch in the whole affair. Money. Payment. For organization. For preparation. For extravagance. For basic amenities and props. For showcasing the best possible. This is what piqued me now….M O N E Y. despite reliable assurances of detailed accounting for the cash …I am just sorry for not going along as per plan guys. And that’s where it snapped….lol the glassy stares, the monotonous talk and the whole guilt trip. Time and space totally imploded and chaos reigned supreme…..lol that’s as dramatic as I can ever get.
I got to see many kinds of people now.
I got to see many kinds of people now.
- paid and totally involved and actively participating.
- paid and totally involved…..in cheering their guts out.
- paid and actively interested.
- paid and passively interested.
- paid and disinterested.
- paid and aloof.
- unpaid.
I wouldn’t go into specific details for each but I need to point out the difference between “paid and disinterested” and “paid and aloof” as there’s “fear” involved in the former while there’s “irritation and ignorance” involved in the latter. By the way for your information, unpaid is just unpaid…interest, participation notwithstanding.
Now my viewpoint is that “can money do the trick?”. Sure money can make people play tricks whatsoever. I just felt that what can’t be achieved with talent cannot be achieved with money. The combination of both should not be exploited as it is done popularly now. On the whole I jus got the miser tag anyway.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddd…here a peek into my mind -- I enjoy being the miser. Whose money have I got to spend now? Nothing adds up to me and nothing works. But well money is among the few things that works now in this man eat man world. But then I am equally miserly in all aspects now. I have donated blood only twice in these 4 four eligible years. I have visited an orphanage only twice so far. I have visited a retirement home only once so far.
Fine….the purpose of money is in spending it but then what is the purpose behind spending the money? The CBSE certified definition of money - “Money is what money does.” I also do agree that man’s imagination can be egged on tremendously when money can be put behind all that effort. That’s when even the sky isn’t the limit if the driving factor for the cause is hot cash.
