VANITY.....
I recall my dad tellin me about a man in my Neighborhood
who 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 deliverd avery 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'...
