Our Rat Race Culture

Our too much work sometimes ,that we find little time for ourselves and our family, make us wonder if we are the same with the rat running in a maze trying to escape but to no avail. We are like rats in a cage doing everything in escaping from drudgery of life but we find ourselves sticking in a mud. We're sinking everyday until we find that we wasted so much time pursuing money, fame, power, and influence--yet we are not happy but we feel void deep inside us.

I, too is wondering what life is really about with so much work and aspiration to go after. Life is too short to worry on material things and selfish pursuits.

One thing is quite sure: if you only think of your own glory, you will lose your like to disease, worry, and endless efforts. But if you devout to the less fortunate of your brothers, you can find happiness and meaning of your existence. There is something biblical in it.

Everyday we're in the rat race. We hurry. We run. We worry. Until you're sicked that you reflect that life is so fragile and fleeting to be spent only in endless acquisition of material possessions. The more you acquire the more insecure you are until you learn to give back what you own.

Some rich and famous people are awaken today to their corporate social resposiblity that they learn to give their billion of dollars to philantrohic work.

So, before you engage so much in a rat race be sure that you have already reflected your existence thus, you will not regret in the end.
