Wednesday, it is the highlight of my week. Wednesday is payday and this brings me much joy. And like every other payday, I planned on venturing out into the chilly winter weather to spend my hard earned money that was burning in my pocket. Today I was treating myself to a full head of foils (I was going to get my hair done).
So I got my hair done, I brought a CD and DVD and various products for my hair. In no less than 2 hours I had managed to spend just little under $200. I seemed happy with myself and headed home. But when I got home, moaning over the fact that I had just been called into work, I looked in the mirror at my new hair and I realised that deep down a head full of foils hadn't really made me feel any better. Deep down I didn't feel anymore fulfilled.
I began to realise that it would seem that life really did not have much purpose. Was this to be my life, a continuous circle of materialistic nothingness? I worked only to spend my money on those little material items, only to be left wondering is there more to life than this?
It would seem that I have reached that point in my life where I am left asking, what is the mere meaning of life? What is the point of our existence?
All I know is that the sun will rise tomorrow and I will rise from a blissful slumber to work yet another day only to spend my hard earned money the following Wednesday. And so the cycle continues.
