Money, one man's poison, Jane's cry for help.

What's in a bill note?

I know I sound so stupid to be you know all emotional and tied down with the whole money madness. Even the economy is bad. Even the petrol price is sky high sans the 1st September hype about lowering the petrol price. Basically, the cost of living is increasing by the day. Just the other day, mother was saying that the Enfagrow or was it er Snow-T powder milk costs up to Rm60++ today and back during her kids were infants, they only cost Rm20++.

From the textbooks I've learned that little beads used to signify one's status quo, used to be a symbol of one's greatness. And if I'm not mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong, it used to be er money or some sort? Then came the coins back during the Greek era and it grew from there. Who could forget the inflation due to excessive circulation of Duit Pokok Pisang? Foolish Japs. But then, tis' was ages ago. Japanese Yen have ever since has possessed one of the highest currency rate. But now, it's these paper notes you have. Darn these paper notes.

Think about it, even a primary relationship that consists of two interdependent partners could argue about this whole divisions in the financial department. Even siblings could greed over their deceased parents' inheritance.

Politics. This is a whole different story, and much more hectic since it involves the country's welfare. And, it involves both power and money. Corruption? "Saya Anti-Rasuah"? Read this: BULL SHIT. You tell me where can you find 0 corruption - sans Mecca, the holy land. Nama pun holy land.

I mean, WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEIR STUPID HUMANE QUALITIES?

Lets take the classic: The whole feud between siblings about the fight of the inheritance. I mean, what the fuck are these people thinking man? Fine yes they have their own financial crisis and all that bull. Again, this is an easy way out. Who doesn't want an easy way out? Its the fastest way and the most foolish and ignorant people would agree to this. Because they're stupid. They do not know how to fall and stand on their two feet.

Spoon fed, biasa lah. Too immune with all the extra helps given until they have forgotten how to stand on their own.

Funny thing is, is how these people would push the boundaries to bring their opponents down. They shout, they scream, pushing away their rationalities. What ever happened to Love? They are in some ways, standing for their rights yes. But it could always be done in a proper manner.

I might be months late, but to sell that house without informing the "legal" and "rightful" people first not days or weeks after, is just well, inhumane I would say.

It does not matter about the whole bill notes,what is in a bill note anyway? It's the inhumane act that hurts people the most.

So basically, this whole barter system evolution has done us good no doubt because it helps you to get what you want. Not only that, people managed to "level" things up, the whole classification of pasar malam goods and designer items. You have the money, you talk. Otherwise, too bad, so sad. You pay extra for better cuttings, colors and designs. You pay mounts of money for better education. You pay more for a better design for your new luxury SoHo suite.

What ever happened to passion? What ever happen to Love, to Humane acts?

People would literally (and metaphorically) kill for money. They would burn the family ties, tight bonds between individuals to win, to satisfy their quench and greed over these bill notes. Because apparently, these mounted bill notes could buy you a better life. Sad to say, yes it can buy you a better life.

But I guess its how you approach of "buying" that better life of yours. You do not need to kill for money. You do not need to disobey the humane acts for money. You do not need to sacrifice love and bondings for money.

I can only hope that people would just realize that really, what is in this piece of bill note?

Pokok pun dah nak berkurang.
