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.

The Topic of Love

Please be advised, the following is from my own analysis, personal experiences and insight. Everything I am saying could be completely wrong. It’s funny to me how much the word "love" is thrown around. It’s such a powerful expression that I dislike using casually. I’ve been told by a good amount of people that they “love” me but what does that really mean? I don’t think any affinity they may have for me is not at the level of love. I don’t think there is one way to define love but there are certainly action that correspond with the feeling. Obviously in life, certain people will love you for the sake of having to but it is very rare to meet somebody outside of familial or obligatory relationships that feels such a way. “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”, this is bogus. Love is unbreakable, Love is not a finite thing. I do not believe that you can  fall out of love … If there was somebody in your life that you truly love(d), you wo...

Seasonal Solitude

As Winter extends its last reach to inhume us all in its powdery white overlay, I am reflecting on this year's blistery season. I must be clear that I do not consider Winter's start date as the day of the Equinox but rather when the weather starts to truly be cold (sub 40°). The cold and I had a falling out many a year and we do not intend to reconcile at any point in the near future. Living in the D.C. suburbs of northern Virginia, our Autumns last about two weeks. Sadly, the changing of the season is all-too-brief. A few days ago, we received our first (and most likely only) snow storm of the season. Here in Virginia, we received about 2 1/2 inches which is borderline menial. My view is that if the weather is cold, it may as well snow! Do you know what is the worst? Cold rain. It's painful. When the Autumnal foliage sets upon the east coast and the world is decorated in hues of gold, orange, red, and maroon, so sets in a different version of myself; one more...

Break Out of the Bubble

It's been quite some time since I've posted in this so hopefully this post will be the first of my return to this mental outlet. This post has much to do with the fact that I had much more caffeine today than usual and my mind is moving at a mile a minute. I have had the pleasure and privilege of growing up in a culture far different than many of those I have met. I am of Pakistani descent (by way of India and Afghanistan). I grew up in a very privileged culture of predominantly upper-middle class Caucasian Americans. To me, that's what I consider the norm and probably the group I identify most as "my people". I am a devout Muslim who also feels at home when I am among my Muslim brothers and sisters. Overall, if I had to choose who I felt more comfortable with, I would say my non-Muslim friends. There are a few reasons for this: 1) Most of them have seen my changes through my life from a blonde-haired prep to a wannabe Indie Rocker to what many like to label me a...
