The Real World

How does the real world looks like? I assume each and everyone of us have a different definition of the meaning of it. Some says its a fair world, some says that it is an injustine world, some says it great, some says its hard, some says its fair, some says the strongest survives and much more.

To me, the real world is harsh yet its exciting as well. What did you say, you may ask. What i mean is, it is harsh when you look at the poor and the ugly side of it. The beggars in the streets, the war between nations, the results of conflicts and misunderstandings, the harsh world of capitalism, the lack of money that forces parents to sell the kids and so much more.

Yet it is exciting when you look at the bright side of it, the namely rich and successful type of person. The sight of sunrise with your love ones lying on the beach, the aroma of the perfect wine over a fantastic candlelight dinner, the glimpse of the most adorable baby born in the world, the sweetness of the smile when everyone is happy, the sound of laughter that shakes the whole room during festives, the newly bought Ferraris and etc etc etc. Add anything you like to your preference.

I mean seriously, how to you view the above. I picture them once in a while, i see them very often here in China. You can see it everywhere in the world. Somalians dies every year due to malnultrition, lack of hygiene in their drinking water. beggars in China and India waiting for donations here and there.

But, you also can see that billionaires emerged a lot from China and India as well. Economy and shares are surging and rising as bull run, corporations are making good money and shares are surging, more and more beautiful cars being driven on the street and much more. Yet some are still very poor and live on the streets, eats very little and lacks of basic necessity to live. Some are middle class people trying everyway to make their lives to be better for their family, children and for their future. They climb the corporate ladder and goes into rat race to compete with each other while backstabbing to get to their dream career only to find out that roses have thorns too.

What do you think?

P.S. Are they really any choice for people in Somalia? Can they become rich? *go figure*
