Money really does make the world go round, we love to hate it and hate to love it. I caught myself thinking about money on my way to work this morning, I think it's on my mind so often that it's become second nature to think about, like the action of brushing your teeth or flushing the toilet. I envisioned winning the lottery, buying myself a great big mansion, a flashy sports car and starting my own magazine, the sky's the limit when the wallet's sorted out. But then of course, as I'm sure many do, I started justifying it to myself, if I won the lottery I would give to charity, yes that's it! I'd have to win because I would be generous and worthy of receiving such a blessing!
But truth be told, money comes with it's own set of problems, and if you had so much would you really be willing to give it away? I think we would inevitably want more and more, it's the way of the world, once you've bought everything you're heart desires, what else is there to want but more money?? Money, money, money, money, I'm pretty much sick of it, I'm sick of not having it, I'm sick of always wanting it and I'm sick of it taking over my mind. Can there be another Secret? The first one is clearly not working out.....
That's exactly how I felt when I came across a story in the news that made me want to scream with laughter! A British man flew into Madrid yesterday after inheriting a pretty sum of money, in his drunken state he started handing out thousands of euros to people passing by. It wasn't long before people began flocking towards him, once again proving that money really does make the world go round. Authorities intercepted and sent him right back to where he came from.
I sit in an office with two very different people and after telling them about this story one of them said "What a legend!" and the other said, "One man's loser is another man's legend." So true...
I personally think he's a legend, the story doesnt tell you very much about why he did it or if he even knew what he was doing but I like to think that he's a man who puts more faith and energy into himself and life than a piece of paper. I know that's probably not the case, but for today and the way I'm feeling about the benjamins, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
