Maybe, Maybe Not

It's ironic how things can change so fast you barely even notice that the tables has suddenly been turned upon you. My new job that's supposed to start next Monday is now under murky waters. This is how it happened. I submitted my resignation letter yesterday morning to my supervisor and boss. After a series of unwanted events which I must say is a very long story to tell, I later found out that my supervisor was made to resign effective that day as well. Then I got a call from my uncle asking me to reconsider my decision, which left me all the more confused. I wanted the new job badly. But I would also feel guilty if I will not give in to my uncle's request. To further make matters complicated, my dad is also forcing me to stay despite my insistence of wanting the new job. Nobody seems to be listening to me! It is so frustrating. Very. I'm not even torn with having to choose between the two because I am not even given a choice to decide in the first place. I feel tied down by their own choices and maybe by their own personal reasons as well. I don't know if I should just go ahead with what I want or if I should postpone my own happiness for their sake. I pray that whatever the outcome will be, everybody will be happy. Including me.

I've learned a valuable lesson from my supervisor's supposed resignation. Greed corrupts absolutely. Greed can give you a distorted view of reality. It can really mess up your judgment of what's right and what's wrong. My mind can't comprehend why some people are willing to give up on their principles just so they could have more in terms of material wealth. Is it really worth it? I don't think so. It's not a healthy way to live life. I can't imagine how one could even face God everytime he or she prays. Won't he or she be ashamed? Besides there are a lot of right and positive ways to achieve material wealth if that is what one truly wants. It is just so unfortunate that because some people are so driven with their own selfish interests, they fail to see this. They are driven to having more and more eggs, even if they already have enough in the basket. While I don't see anything wrong with having more than the usual, I find it unacceptable if one attains them through wrong means. I also find it inadmissable if one tries to justify their wrongdoings with something they perceive would be able to contribute to a good cause. The end does not justify the means! Not always. Anyhow, I believe that greedy people are bound to meet their consequences. What goes around certainly comes around. There will be huge payoffs in the end. There will be painful realizations as well. I just hope it would not be too late for them.
