Beauty and Money, these are the 2 things which I have set out for myself to achieve, at least for the next 5 years to come. Yea, I do not deny that the above-mentioned are things that are highly superficial and materialistic. And we should aim to achieve things that are more in-depth and highly-spiritual. But before you start denying the 2 things said, please pause for a moment and think: is it not better if you have them when you go out into the society?
No need to say when you go out into the society, they help make things so much easier even when you have them as you grow up! People are still superficial, especially in the modern society. We are consumers of images, because we seldom look beyond the surface unless we have no other alternative. When young, you will easily get the attention and liking of more people just by looking cute. As you grow up, no need to talk about beautiful or handsome, just looking presentable and slightly above average will bring you popularity and easy paths in many things and places. Lastly when you step out into the society, the benefits are endless. There is a reason why make-ups and beauty products sell so well. There is a reason why people buy things that look nice.
There is almost nothing which you cannot buy in the world, despite all the talk about not being able to buy sleep, health, kinship etc with money. Just think about all the products, supplements, inventions, creations these days which you can purchase to help you with achieving the things that have been said to be not attainable with money. And without money, there is really so much you cannot do, so many limitations, so many restrictions, so many walls around. How much things in today's world doesnt require you to pay? How much service in the society these days that you can really get for free? There is a need to have money, so we have to find ways to earn, and as much as possible.
To survive, we have to play by the rules of the game.
