Ever since the use of handphones and then smartphones began popularized and became a part of a necessities in developed countries, the lives of many people in many nations have significantly changed.

But is it for Better?
Or for Worse?

Indeed, the primary purpose of inventing such devices was for good intentions. However, the purpose has evolved into a much malice such that humans have now became slaves of technology.

With a phone at hand, even after working hours, they are expected to receive headaching calls from bosses and clients, and also replying work emails.
With a phone at hand, people are constantly looking down and enjoy the comfort in their own private bubble.
With a phone at hand,  the world has become more and more economic driven, more and more competitive, and make use of this convenience to create all sorts of "wonders" and seek to "improve" human lives better.

So if one day, a hand from the sky took away the phone from every human on earth...
Just Imagine.
Without a phone in hand.
The world would probably turn back 20 years ago.
When the world is less complicated...
At least that is what I think...

Ever since I have stepped into the working life, I have heard nothing but people constantly asking how this or that business generate revenue. How can you turn your business into a pool of profits. And when you have attained a stable business, they will start to ask, how would you do to raise the value and earn even more?

Times changed a lot rapidly these 20 years of my life. When I was still a Primary School kid, I hear most working adults are happy with their lives. Having a stable job and a happy family is just simply pleasant. However, after 20 years, I have finally become one of them, but the definition has changed a lot.

People changed. The younger generations have desire for more. People no longer comfortable with sticking to a thing and use it for as long as they one. Once they think it have no use for them anymore, they ditch it and go for a better one. People are no longer satisfied with a stable job. They want to go higher. So high. Until to an altitude that suffocate all the working adults now. Ironically.

People have been constantly saying to make the world better. But in fact. It isn't.

The definition of Capitalism and Economic have driven people crazy. All companies and even government are working their ways not to improve our lives anymore. They are all blinded by the concepts. The only way to survive is not just to feed and shelter and love yourself anymore. The new criterion is to have a strong economic holding. People are now aiming to have a higher foothold.

The word money has reached a whole new level.
Even government in Singapore is going all the way to suck people money...
Openly...
I know I'm ignorant. I know nothing about economics or whatever.
But why people just want to keep going higher? To a height that is no oxygen for them.

Money, the root of all evil.
The statement stands firm.

Let the world continue in the endless World War.
The war which determines which country has the strong currency...

Choosing a simple life is not a choice anymore...
