As much as I don't want to talk about my personal experiences or dramas here on this platform, I just can't. This is the only way I can let out my emotions without intentionally bothering someone. I don't care anymore if I will be judge by others through my articles, what matters the most is that I let out my emotions/ dramas by journaling here and reflecting on them.
Money makes the world move. It motivates us to do more to earn more. It can be destructive. Having money can make us change, about our perception of life and our attitude towards other people. Indeed! I now believe that money is the root of evil. It can turn someone into a monster without them realizing it. Although some people take this as an opportunity to help others.
Why is it that when we have we still have problems like the times that we don't? It is a never-ending cycle of problems for some people that cannot handle it correctly. Money can give way for us to help other people, but if done wrong, it will be a disaster. For instance, helping your sibling pay for his monthly payment in Social Security System (SSS). You help him because of your willingness and love for him. But when he died, you don't want to give the money to his family because you think that they aren't deserving at all. Would you give the money to the grieving family if they themselves didn't bother to take part in the monthly SSS payment?
Let's assess the situation and let me have a storytime. The one who passed away was the sibling of my Grandmother. He has I think six children, four of which do not have a job and still depends on their needs even if they already have a family. For a senior citizen who cannot do much already and still chooses to work just to provide for his family, would you feel sympathy? His other sibling which he helped him pay for his SSS pension loan claimed his money and doesn't want to give it to the family because he thinks that they aren't deserving of it and it was his money that was used to pay for it. Would you be on his side of keeping the family or is it just right that the family should have it?
I can't express how disappointed I am in them because of their feud over money. This is just pure bullsh*t. They can't even respect the dead who was buried a month ago. They kept on quarreling over money.
His good deed of helping his brother is unquestionable. He did it because of his love for him. But it became destructive because he wants to keep it to himself. It is ethical and by law that the first family should have the assets of the deceased. To me, it is just right that he should keep it to himself but, if he wants this to stop, he should just give it to the family. Same with the family, if they know that they are not deserving of it, then why chase over that money that they did not have a fair share on?
My realization for this is that people will chase you if you have something that they are interested in. They will bug you as long as you give up and give them what they want. If only people would come up to their senses and realize that it's not always money, it's about knowing when to step back and knowing when is the right time to take action.

P.S. This wasn't to be posted tonight, I just got triggered and want to let out my emotions.

In this times kasi, mas nagiging dependent karamihan sa pera. 'Yung tipo ba na sa sobrang pagmamahal sa pera is nagiging masama na ang ugali kahit na gaano kaganda ang ugali nila before. Super relate ako dito kasi nangyayari sa amin 'yung ganito eh. Makaginhawa lang is akala mo na napakatataas na nila. Sana lang mas malaman natin kung paano i-lessen ang pagiging toxic, para mas happy ang lahat.
