Story For Cass

KL, the city bombarded with temptations. Since we've moved here about 6 months ago, we've been comparing the life in KL and PG. Of-course, there's not really any good comparison because frankly the two place is really different.

in KL, it's all about using minimum effort for maximum gain and in PG, it's all about an honest day work. In addition, you can never have enough in KL, there's always things to buy, there's always this next big deal to close, there's always new experience, new friends, new nemesis, new ideas and etc and etc. Contrastingly, in PG, you always have enough. Enough things to do, enough time to do all the things you need, enough place to go to and enough material to satisfied your material need.

I read about how a husband and wife team has been sentenced to jail because of white-collar crime, i read about how people are living in corridor because they have no money to rent a place, i read about how senior citizens are being abandon, i read about how easy those internet scam works, i read about how people fall for different easy-money scheme and i read about how it has ruin life.

Because i know how some heartless people will do all it takes to take all your saving so that they can be listed as top millionaires in the magazine, i sometime does wonder if it's true that you need to gave up all ethic in order to gain ? i sometime wonder where is that thin grey line of gaining fortune and fame versus ditching into darkness and succumb to greed ?

I wonder when will i gave in to all those material gain instead of holding on to my ethic and principles, and it is worth it ?

Now, without any moral compass, one will never know where to draw the line and what's the grey line. That's the reason why, we can see how in the city, people pay a lot of attention to religion. because without religion, there's no moral compass anywhere to tell you to continue doing the rite thing, to continue being kind when others are hatefull, to continue being compassionate when others are being cruel, to continue being yourself when the rest of the world wanted to bring you down.

It's tough, it's tougher to doing it alone and thus it's great to have religion guidance along the way.
