Lazy Saturday

I was elated at the thought of not going to work today because of my ability in persuasion. In order to celebrate I slept at 6 am, which I thought was very fitting. The time that I awoke was just fine since it was already time for lunch. It dawned to me that in a years time I would be engaging in the same routine that did not appeal to me now. Pulling up my socks and getting to business is not too far off.

The thought of continuing this process seems like a ritual in a way. Nevertheless, it cannot be ignored or discounted as a worthless exercise because everything that you ever wanted to have depends upon it. One wonders the amount of motivation that must be galvanised into a person in order to carry on for such a long time. I have more appreciation for my father now since going to work everyday is not any longer a joke (especially in my opinion). Rather, it seems to me as a duty being fulfilled by many people in order to obtain something better than what they already possess. The wants of people are unlimited (as thought in an economic outlook),while the means to procure such wants are very limited. I fathom different people are driven by numerous needs thus involving in an amplitude of activities that fulfill them.

I came across a story of a math prodigy who has turned, or shall we say willing become an escort –the type that you pay in order to have a bit of amusement and sexual intercourse discreetly- for wealthy men. This I found very appalling because she is not using her intelligence and neither doing something that is morally right. The following link will bring you to light about this matter in detail http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/0604_hooker.shtml. Making matters worse, she is a Muslim and I say she should be stoned. I blame her for the decisions that she took and not for the abuse inflicted upon her by the father. Its so sad to see that people who you perceive to be intelligent make such sinful and myopic decisions.
