Copied:Food for thought
I Recall as a kid that a man in my
Neighborhood became popular for
engaging in money rituals just to
buy the 80's edition of the Honda
Prelude. You wouldn't buy that
car for 50k today.
I Remember as a kid, my whole
street converged to watch a truck
deliver a very large satellite dish
to my neighbor's house. Today a
dish one tenth that size delivers 5
times the value and is in almost
every student hostel room.
What about the Volkswagen
Santana, Mercedes Benz V booth,
505 cocaine, all overtaken by
Camry,Honda discussions and
Infinity? .... Vanity.
A friend declared drinks for the
boys because he just launched the
Nokia Communicator for over a
hundred grand in 2002. Today
that phone would embarrass the
owner and is a joke compared to
the low cost and everyday phone.
What about d MTN sim card dat
many people went extra miles b4
dey bought it for over 30k, today
u will not buy it at N200.
People are still making the most
amazing sacrifices over the
'vainest' of things, make enemies
over worthless material things.
What can I Say? Look back at that
one thing you want to kill or die
for today and see what becomes
of it tomorrow.
Slow down with the sense of
attachment and blind pursuit of
things, for today's 'gold' is
tomorrow's 'copper'....
Cheers. Have a nice day
