Abstract

eing.</p><p id="bc8d">Finding a life purpose is the modern-day excuse of the lazy. You already know your purpose in life.</p><h1 id="17da">I run after money.</h1><p id="3786">People might hate me for this but I don’t have to care.</p><p id="fa04">Money reduces worries. Money avoids unnecessary struggles. Money buys better feelings that matter more. Money can save someone’s breath from collapsing. Money unlocks freedom.</p><p id="64d1">Freedom to not have to care about spending $2 more for someone’s birthday gift you love. Freedom of not having to worry about medical bills of a family emergency. Freedom to have the confidence to be by your parent’s side when they are in hospital and you don’t yet know why because they never visited the doctor for a checkup.</p><h1 id="c69b">If Reciprocity Is Real, What’s for Your Loved Ones?</h1><p id="3290">You don’t feel or realize this.</p><p id="d971">Imagine laying down straight on the road and 93 buildings falling to your body at a high speed altogether. That’s the pain your mother had to go through to bring you to earth.</p><p id="f6ef">A shock that’s fun and feels good is called orgasm. A shock that’s a pain but feels great is called mother’s love for you you can’t ever fathom.</p><p id="81d6">Your dad and mom suffer throughout their life. They lose their youth, time, passion, dreams— everything for you. In the end, they’ll die and you won’t care. Or when they’re old, you’ll push them to some old-age home and your face to them gets forever rare.</p><p id="e90f">What do your parents expect and get for giving their everything away for you?

o so you be the reason for your parent’s smile. So you are the reason for their first “real” smile in front of you. So you are the reason for them smiling after a long time. They lost everything for you to you raising you, anyway.</p><h1 id="b0a7">This Is the Worst However</h1><p id="81c1">I always run so much after money and success that I spend the least time with family, even though I am blessed I can. That’s the worst tragedy of my life.</p><p id="50f7">Choose family over money. Then, earn money for the family.</p><h1 id="0039">The First True Purpose of Life</h1><p id="f3b6">Your parents can die anytime without notice. Make them proud of giving you birth at least once.</p><p id="c5a9">All they wanted to do is live their life with you through you because they lost everything for you.</p><p id="da84">Your parents are the VIP person in your life. Not having a life purpose is an excuse. Change it with a VIP excuse: my family is my greatest purpose.</p><p id="ec88">You can choose to stop caring about unnecessary people-pleasing and worry about family-happiness-making.</p><p id="d0be">You don’t need people who make you feel suck in your life, anyway.

Medium Stats

Going Viral is Annoying Me

Skewed stats are not worth a buck and a half

Wow, surprise. I went viral. This one article keeps going like the Energizer Bunny. Am I doing a victory lap here? Hardly, 96% of the views are external so no income is getting generated and, since these are not Medium subscribers, they are not becoming my regular readers (do I have any of those?).

I had scoffed previously at becoming a Medium shill through the referral program but considering the number of views was still on the rise I went ahead and edited the story to add the link. I’ll update this story if I use the proceeds to buy a house.

Here I am for the past month looking at my views and reads doubling and tripling but my income down by half. I wrote about this here.

Medium Changes Under the Hood

Something’s fishy and the water is murky

Those were murky waters then but what surfaced overtime was looking at the views and reads columns and guestimating it in my head. Month over a month is a bit better as I would expect from plenty of writing and not producing or promoting clickbait.

Admittedly, it’s been fun to have an article viewed over a thousand times but it is a little deflating that it was a piece written off the cuff.

MacBook Pro is the Chuck Norris of Computing

There’s computing and then there’s bad ass computing

The piece was inspired by something Louis Petrik wrote and I commented on. My comment was expanded into the story which is pretty derivative (as a lot of jokes are). The part I am most proud of though is using an animated GIF of an animated GIF running on the laptop that is the subject of the article. Maybe I will write a sequel but only if I can get Chuck Norris to hold a MacBook Pro with my story displayed on it (no PhotoShop allowed).

The moral of the story is, be careful what you wish for you may get a devil’s bargain as I did.
