The only thing you can't escape in life is death and taxes

Actually I can think of a lot of things you cannot escape but lets keep to the traditional ones lah. So what does that tell you about life? There are some things that are inevitable and some that you can avert. The worst thing comes when yuo get used to something in life and you just cannot live a life without it. Money and power does come to mind. For me, I try to live a simple life and try to keep things simple. So for me, if I have none of the money or power, it does not affect me at all. Some people who get used to it just cannot live on anymore or will try to hold on to it and keep it at all means. For this, I am not saying it and pointing it at any party either living or past.

I had a guy who was like a mini Hitler in a company I worked for in Japan. He was just a normal employee supposed to help out in the warehouse and to learn and earn and then if he proved himself worth it, he would rise in rank and also power. He was the elder brother of the company president, but all he ever wanted to do was to be an actor. He sucked at being an actor and had a face that a dog woudl run away from, so his career was pretty short. In the end, he made life terrible for all because he would always try to push people around saying that he was the brother of the president and so he was a senior and so on. But power and money are earned, they are not given and even if they are given, it will soon be spent. For us, we all have our mini hitlers and Paris Hiltons who are either too rich for us or too power hungry, but in the end, if we live our lives as we feel is right, then there is nothing any one can do to make us less happy.
