Make money at all costs or do the right thing at all costs?

It has been almost 20 years since I lived rather high up in a building. Discovering a relatively good value for money deal for a high floor unit in a newly built high rise means I am once again closer to the clouds.

I took some photos of the skies this evening from my balcony as my mood turned contemplative. What do you think I saw in the skies?

When I looked at the skies, I am reminded of how small I am and how there are forces out there that make problems in our mundane lives more mundane.

To some of us, we might also feel that there are divine forces in the skies observing everything that we do. The heavens have eyes, as the Chinese saying goes.

It is good to be reminded that although money is important in modern day life, we should be careful to do the right things to make money.

君子爱财取之有道

Be righteous and make money in righteous ways.

I try to remember this always and that is also why there are certain events or programs I would not want to be a part of. Perhaps, ignorance is bliss but I rather be aware and do the right things. I can't live without air conditioning and hell is way too warm for me.

I was chatting with my mom and she talked about looking at the skies and laughing at the follies of man. I told her she is so poetic and reminded me of 文章. Younger readers might not get the joke.

Have a listen:





I think this was more than 20 years ago. I am feeling my age. Thanks, mom.

I also decided to give myself a lunch treat today and I think it is a lunch that most people would approve of:

Price: $3.50.

Who says AK's lunch is always under $3.00? Who? Who?
