It's true that sometimes it is necessary to heed the advice of others. Most of the time your friends or relatives gave you advice because they care about you. Well, most of the time. Some people gave advice to create conversation, others may have an alternative motives which we may not always guess it right. Anyway, whether or not you should heed the advice given to you is entirely within your control.
Yes, you may be in a financial pinch and someone just came to you saying that, "hey, you know I know someone who is able to help with the financial pinch. No worries, since we are friends he shouldn't charge you a high interest." Times are difficult, most of us may have faced such times in some point of our life. However, people wouldn't help without them being able to gain something. At least, the so-called friends won't. Hence, please think twice before you resort to such people for help. You know that they may claim to be your friends and may be trying to help you. In fact, their ulterior motive is just to earn some bucks from perhaps interest be it legally or illegally.
I am not sure about the vast majority of the crowds. As the people and environment around us have been changing rapidly in recent year, there are no time for us to adapt well to a state. Once we think that we have adapted to the change, another change(s) had taken place. If even youngster feels this way, how about the older portion of the population. I bet they felt even more dejected. There are nothing much for them to vent on. Signing up on a course requires money, well, in fact, everywhere you go you will be charged an amount. For the middle and lower income class of senior citizens who have retired, they will have barely enough money set aside for their retirement. Well, that is because we will never earn enough to meet the minimum sum set by regulation. Due to the increase in population due to influx of humans, and limited job positions, even people who read a little about economics would know that the wage rate will not increase because of the increase in population and limited job position. In addition to that, as there is a need to provide to the increasing population when the supply are not increasing readily enough, inflation on different goods and services in different part of the markets had been surfacing. It's no wonder that the seniors would have barely enough to support themselves. It's quite pathetic to see the state we are in right now.
Yes, people earning sufficiently enough may not think that living cost is a problem. However, they aren't a majority of the crowd. Most of us know that it would take 90% of the wealth are saturated with only 10% of the population. It may not be true for which somewhere in the outer space where another earth-like planet may exist with life, and the population there all be living comfortably. They might be more knowledgeable and technologically advance compared to us. Of course, this is in terms of our language not their. Knowledgeable might not mean a single thing to them at all. Perhaps, there is something lacking in our system resulting in such scenarios. Talking about decreasing the world's poverty rate, that's only when we write about our inspiration we have during school days. Once we experience how the society is like, perhaps, we are all too busy in finding a way to survive in the society that we overlook things that are fundamentally important.
Then again, maybe I am just wrong in the way in which things are represented. Or perhaps I think too much to what was presented. Either way shows that the truth is yet close to being revealed.
Have a good weekend as usual. Hope you have enjoyed the break and refresh yourself for another long work week ahead. Have fun and smiles!
