Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

People want to be rich, it's a given fact. Even if you aren't materialistic or shallow, I am confident that every single person wants to be wealthy if for nothing else, so that they can life comfortably. The wealthy/rich people tend to have more fun in their lives; what does their life consist of? A lot of parties, alcohol, probably drugs and sex. They have disposable income so it's easy for them to attain all of these things. I am sure doing these things and having that lifestyle is fun but it's one of those things that you get tired of.

I strongly believe that the rich have a social responsibility to be the 'good examples.' Now wealthy people are stereotyped, they are shown to have big and clean homes, listen to classical music, dress properly, etc., these are the good things that lifestyle brings. The problem arises when life is all about having fun with your money and living life like it's one big party. The more money you have, the more good you should be doing with it; you have a responsibility. Wise people will tell you that having a lot of money can be a curse because there is so much responsibility that comes with it and not everybody can handle that.

The richest people should set a good example, like I said. They should be smart, responsible, noble and most importantly, humble. If having money wasn't related to this wild, "rock star"kind of life, I think the trend would eventually go away. People who aren't rich live that kind of lifestyle because they want to feel like they are famous, if even for a moment.

I'm (Almost) Done watching WWE

I have been watching wrestling consistently every week for about 11 1/2 years now. I still remember the first show I watched in November of 1999. I saw Degeneration X beat up Test and break his nose. I saw The Rock but I don't remember what exactly he did but I was hooked from that first show. A friend of mine had asked me earlier that day about wrestling and I pretended like I watched it and just along with it. He kept on quoting The Rock and when I got home from school, I started quoting The Rock too. My brother said that I don't even watch WWF so I shouldn't be quoting the wrestlers so in an effort to validate myself, I started watching and have not stopped. Wrestling used to be so entertaining. The personalities were so defined and the storyline was enthralling. Around 2002, it started to get a little bit worse but overall, still entertaining. It was still fun to watch up until around 2009. Wrestling for me was more than a show. It's no secret that I was bulli...

The Beauty of Brotherhood in Islam

Last night I went to the Masjid to help be part of a youth program that links middle school kids to high schoolers to college kids. Then I met up with someone who was helping me land a job in the IT field. He was teaching me the basics of IT security that I need to know for interviews. Afterwards, we prayed Isha and I was about to head out buy saw a friend who is still in high school. I know his older brother and asked about him. He told me that his brother was at a halaqa and that I should go. I asked how he was getting home and he said he needed a ride so I happily offered one. I said that I was hungry so I was going to get some food on the way back. His brother then called me when I was nearing the drive through saying that there is food at the persons house he was at and that we should come by. We arrived and to my amazement, there were about 15 brothers barbecuing chicken, hot dogs, burgers and kabobs. I felt bad showing up like that but as soon as I walked in, I ...
