RE: The Value Of $5 In A Higher Or Smaller Proportion
Hmmm.. Some deep post right here.
Well let's start with the using a 5$ bill t forget the sorrows of a 500$ problem.
I see this a lot and most people behave as if the problem goes when the problem still remains.
So I think it makes no sense in using something to temporarily forget a problem when it can reduce the problem.
According to the richest man in Babylon, he says no matter what you do save 10% of your income and pay debts with another 10%.
In this case scenario, 5$ is not 10%, it is however 1%. Which goes a long way.
Now if we look at it in bigger terms...vsay you had a million dollar problem, would you rather spend 10k$ to forget it or put it to reduce the problem?
Then the environment and how successful one can be is a very valid thing.
Even if you are a provider, you should know when to stop or else you will be providing at the expense of your moving forward.
I think, a lot of people aren't even looking at how big their problem is, they're more concerned about they can escape, drift away into nothingness where they can pretend that their problems doesn't exist. In reality, we tend to underestimate how much we want to forget about our problems especially when we don't have the means to solve them. It's why we have people taking to alcohol, sex and even gambling. These indulgences are cheaper because we think there's always a "tomorrow" even if we cannot solve our problems today.
Being an Igbo, you cannot escape that burden of being a provider, because you naturally slot into it without given the permission to choose if you want it or not.
Well, I dont know how it is for Ibo people and how it is for someone with a big family but I can definitely say that people should act their wage.
If you make a million naira, you are not allowed to give 59% whether you are Ibo or not.
Same way if you earn a hundred thousand naira. I feel these are the principles tho
