SIP Blues

I was just writing my resume and cover letter earlier in the morning. I have sent to a few companies that i have short-listed. Hopefully I will hear from them soon. But actually, I really don't fancy any one of those but have gotten no choice.

That brings us to another point i always wanted to blog about. Why have we become slave to the system of the world? When life restrict us to do things we truely want to do? Many times, I have heard people complaining about things that they need to do but don't really want to. I feel sad for them. And for me too. Because I know when i go out to work, I'll be like them.

Why can't we live for ourself? Simply because we can't. As much as I want to. To live by the beach in some exotic coastal area. Have a beach house that caters to tourists all over the world. Have a beachboy by my side, sipping wine and watching the sun goes down. Dancing and swimming in the moonlight. I know it is too far fetch.

I'll be stuck in a job that will not interest me as much. A payroll that can't support my lifestyle. Movies, coffee and shopping mall. Maybe a boring guy that I go home to everyday. A few kids down the road.

Why can't we do what we want? Because we conform to the norms of our society? Or is it because we dare not really step out of the comfort zone that has protected us so well from the outside world?

Like the SIP, I know that I want more than what was offer. But I gotta struck with it because it is part of assignment. I know I am capable of more than that, but the opportunities are lacking. I don't want to live like that anymore. I want to break free from this viscious cycle that i am in.


Yearning to be set free.
