Instant poetry on the streets

by Ying Ying

I came across this article, and thought it pretty. I read it till the very end.

For how many people can actually have that kind of silent drive to do something so simple yet so out of the norm, and to do it so unquestioningly that passers-by do not doubt you, but silently support you with time to come?

So many of us here now tend the worry about the money, the rent, the non-existent career, or the career whose first stepping stone has been laid out but yet to be unfolded.

We’re all missing the point. The point of living is no longer about preparing for your retirement, about possessing all the selfish gold, or about proving to others who you can be.

I find that voices of passions and freedom are increasingly stronger than ever. People now speak not of how to accumulate wealth as in gold, but how to accumulate wealth as in a fulfilled life with abundant love and passions. And the audience listens attentively and nods in unison.

Money isn’t about everything, world. The only thing money can buy, I admit, is convenience. To take the cab to get home faster instead of the public bus; to pay more for house movers instead of doing it on your own; to book comfortable hotels that provides room service instead of dingy hostels, et cetera.

But really, when your life is filled with passions and your convinced self that you lead a life well led, there is really all the right reasons there that can assure you that accumulated wealth in your pockets aren’t all that there is in life.

Start thinking selflessly, about spreading love and passions, silly as it sounds, but I think our generation now is starting to realise that each of us is capable of inspiring others, with our words and what comes from within the soul, not with money.

Read the article and let me know if you guys get what I’m talking about at all.
