What a wonderful concept it would have been if all our needs were taken care of and we would not have to work! Oh! to be able to enjoy life to the fullest without any worries. To be able to travel, to have exotic food, to enjoy the beauties of nature everywhere, to enjoy sunrise and sunsets, to hear birds tweet,to enjoy everything as it is,fantastic. But then you realise that is not for you, your parents were not rich, you did not become the sole heir of long lost uncle. You have a family to look after and worry for your own future when you grow old.So you have to work. You have to get up early, rush through your morning chores and join the rush hour traffic every day to bring in the weekly or monthly pay check- you have responsibilities!

Well, it'll be perfect if all of us do not need to work and still have a peaceful life. But most of us have certain degree of desire, we want to enjoy some materialistic life. Even if we only want food, we need to work for that too. We have to plant, water and harvest. I'd really love to spend more time with my family, but we still need to face the reality, and trap into this rat race. But, we can always find a way to run out of the race, I'm thinking and finding the way if I can do so, so that I can spend more time with my family.

If you are very hungry, you would forget all the people.
