the touch

" Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia...

i kinda like the quote by this witty fella here. what he has stated definitely carries a lot of weight and is very true. What we human need isn't money. Money is secondary. but all of us need love to carry on our daily lives. That's what life is all about. its about caring for one another, honoring one another and to love each other. All of us need the special touch and warmth that a kind word or even a hug bring to all of us. Admit it, all of us yearn to be loved to a certain degree. :)

honestly, sometimes i wonder whether do we realize that we have all been caught up in a rat race. One that has stolen our happiness, our time, our ability to love and spend time with each other. everyone is going crazy over money. ok, even if one has the money, it can't buy you a life, it can't buy you happiness. there will still and always be a vacuum inside of you that yearns for a personal touch.

please don't get me wrong. i'm not saying that we should stop what we are doing and just chill... earning money is good. it serves and contributes to society as well as the economy but we should not let the greed of money control us. we are humans man.... we are made to look out for one another not harm one another.

i think that sometimes just praising someone or affirming someone along the streets every now and then might brighten up someone's day without ur knowing. It is a stressful living here in singapore and people do need love and affirmation. So if you have tons of love to give, be bold, go ahead and affirm that person. :)
seriously, if you are one who is crazy about earning money, i guess u have just earned yourself a PHD - permanent head damage.
