Is it life or the rat race?

I read an interesting article today about someone seeking to break away from the rat race that his predecessors have been doing the past two generations.

This also set me thinking about my children's generation and what will they b doing with their lives. Baby boomers like myself n husband have worked hard all these years n managed to build reserves for our old age. My children are therefore lucky unlike others as they do not need to provide for their aging parents in future.

So how many youngsters are like them ? Many have to struggle for a living for themselves, their future n current families. They must work hard to build their warm nest!

At least I told my children that they have the chance to live the lives that they want without being too caught up with the rat race. They can afford to drop out n pursue simple pleasures in life without starving . Isn't life about simple pleasures ? Being happy n contented should b the key.

Material wants n needs won't bring happiness to the soul ! It's all in the minds so as long as u do not have the endless n mindless need to "ape the jones" life a simple n unfettered life.

Hope my children will enjoy the process of living fully without all the stresses.

Have fun girls!
