Knowledge Or Geary-Khamis Dollar ?

It's a very tricky question akin to an egg and a chicken story, realized only when one's into their twilight years. Whichever comes first, depend on which audiences that we referred to. We may argue till the cows come home as everyone is entitle to his/her opine.

Everyone will go through a love chronology in one's life especially in our teens. Mama Mia, I've fallen in love. Extol with delectable masterpiece acrolect in fairyland. You are everything to me, life is empty without you, can't sleep without hearing your whispering, you are my inspiration. Nothing gonna change my love for you, even an angel in front of me. I'll be with you, no matter you are rich or a pauper.

To digress a bit, I would like to ask the fledgling students, what are your purpose to attend school and from whom you get your money from ? School is for acquiring knowledge and the money is not from your sweat. To the rich, some may just for fun and funky, but to those parents who eek out a living, it may become a difficulties. How to compare a coconut tree with a little bird ?

Pondering with the question which comes first when in love, Knowledge or Material Wealth ? How about Humility and Dignity ? If possible, everyone want all the good things to go in tandem but sometimes it may turned into tatters.

To be more realistically, Geary-Khamis Dollar is the yardstick in today's materialistic society. Money, money, money it's so funny, in a rich man's world. As the Chinese saying hula hula " Very Good" is " Si Peh Ho". The beauty of language may translate it into " When Father Died Is Very Good" where, the fortune could be transfered to his children.

Do money could really buy you everything including Happiness and Filial Piety ? The poor and knowledgeable society will permanently live in Miseries and always be a Flatterer ? How about the obligation of a son/daughter towards their parents especially in their golden years ? How many of us could hold this in our life philosophy "One Who Knows One Has Enough Is Rich" ?

The choice is in your hand. Round peg, square hole or the other way round ?
