September...

Four days into the new month - I realized...

I was paid my monthly wages on the 24th of August and by the 29th of the same month - I was down to my last 1,365 naira...

I considered the futility of my situation, I thought long and hard about the purpose of my "life"...
Then suddenly out of nowhere - i had one of those moments of self realization:
chinedu - you're working for others...
You're not doing enough for you.
It came suddenly like a drop of water in a calm pond...
I considered how much I was paid in a month and how much went out and I nearly wept - actually that would be rather weird... I just sat there, not knowing what angered me more: Making the money or giving it away so casually?

Was it wrong to be tight fisted? Would it be better to deny requests to all concerned and simply tell them that things where tough? Was I giving it all away or was I not giving enough?

Mase was so right: More Money, More problems...
Not less, More...

I didn't see things this way before now I know better...

I used to accuse my friends and relatives of being tight fisted, stingy etc but I guess the shoes on the other foot now...

Perspective is a point of view but like anything it can be changed - they say the mark of a genius is being able to see different perspectives...

Apparently that ranks me with the rest of humanity's pathetic lot...

Point of consideration - for me at least!
