As usual, I was in Facebook, saw few photo updates of few people in my list... and of course some pathetic status updates. Among the photos I saw were pictures of graduation ceremonies, outing with boyfriend, vacation, clubbing outings, and basically what has been happening in their lives... which diverted my thoughts towards few people whom I know ... and their lives... which led to a 'compare and contrast' with my own life... which led to this...
I have many friends...who can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of friends whose lives are basically outlined, drafted and managed by the parents(filthy rich of course) since day 1. They were born, they grew up, went to kindergarten, primary school, high school and entered college. By the time these friends of mine went to high school their parents already mindfucked them saying that "you're becoming a doctor"/"you're becoming a lawyer"/"Be an engineer or kill yourself"... Poor kids, what could they do? They grew up with the thought that they are becoming a lawyer/doctor PROGRAMMED in their heads.
So they finished high school, did whatever the parents wanted them to do, did their pre-U and went abroad, finished their studies and came back. Some are still doing their final few semesters abroad. Some of them are in a steady relationship. Their parents know about them. Some already started taking over their parents' businesses. Some are waiting to come back from abroad and take charge.
Part of me can't help it but to be envious of these people. They've got their paths well constructed in front of them. All they have to do is just pop-out and walk till the end. Everything has been pre-planned for them. What worries do they have? what worries did they have? the only thing they had to do was do well in their education. Some even fucked that up. What happened? parents shouted for few days, pumped in some money and rescued these pampered asses.
After few years, all these doctors and engineers and lawyers are going to come back, and probably take over their parents' businesses or most likely open up their own firms, LEECH on their parents' contacts, establish a good social and business network, come up and let themselves be known, and continue making more money.
The second group consists of friends who just took whatever they wanted. They were born, they grew up, they went to kindergarden and THATS IT!
