Greater expectations

Having more does not make things any easier. Now, you have more to lose. There are those who will be only too happy if you were to lose everything.

Along with greater resources come greater expectations. Others will make financial decisions for you. What is not taken could end up frittered away.

Many people must live with unfulfilled needs. But they tend to obsess over the things that they want. So, the little they get will inevitably be wasted.

Society takes notice of those who have means. Prospects will be scrutinized and offers made. In the end, little is given and yet much is expected.

Love comes easy when pockets are deep. It goes just as easily when the money runs out. Such relationships really only have value on paper.

The ones who dream of going far tend to lose sight of themselves. Do not be afraid to enjoy what is earned. Rather, resist the urge to get lost in it.

  1. Indeed having more of the world does not make anything easier. If one neglects the spirit they will be lost to the grind of the world.

    1. The world is there to grind you into the dirt, quite literally. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of our labors. Just know that the more you have, the more there is to lose.

  2. So.. this is one of these weeks where you are sounding repetitive again. All the words jumbled up in my mind. Granted, I went into this with a massive headache, but still... I just get annoyed that you always dump out boiler plate wisdom like a printing press with diarrhea rather than promoting yourself as a writer.

    Also the first two sentences were stupid.

    1. In a world where people are obsessed with getting things, it is important to recognize where that leads. People will expect more from you while giving very little. Do not let the stars in your eyes blind you.
