People say money makes the world go round... I beg to differ. To me, I think that status makes the world go round.
In school, leaders are selected from the student population, differenciating the different status and ranks of the students. Students are instilled that they would be considered 'better' if they are a leader. Besides this, students are also, sometimes unknowingly, being classified by the number of friends they have. The more friends you have, the more popular you are, the 'higher' your status.
In the workforce, isn't a promotion what some work for? Why do they work for promotions? Simple. For Status and power.
My question to all this fight for status and power is WHY?
Is power and status that important? Why is there a need for you to claim such status and power? Sometimes even to the extent of putting yourself in front of someone, who may mean something to you?
Through all these status and power seeking, some even forget their real purpose. Some because they are status and power hungry, and some because they become greedy and manipulative after they have the status and power.
Is status and power really that important in life? Isn't happiness and enjoying yourself and what you do more important?
Probably the way I think is still too naive... And you might not agree. I hope no one takes this post to heart or anything... Its justa random thought I had...
Hehe :D
