Just a thought...

Are we earning to live or are we living to earn?

Just a thought that crossed my mind today. Actually got an unexpected salary hike today from the office. And the happiness on the faces was worth more than a notice for sure. People forgot all the worries and there was happiness all around. A rare sight to be seen. Some already happy with the hike, and the others happily waiting for their mail to come as if destiny is going to change after this. Then, it was realised that everyone has not got this hike and its a particular band of people who got it. Then there were mixed emotions. The question now with most of the unlucky lot was - "Why did they get the hike" whereas I thought that - "why did I not get it" would have made more sense. Anyways, that's digressing from the topic I believe.

So coming back, I saw people forgetting all their worries with the declaration of this small, rather meagre, hike. And then this question crossed my mind. Thought a lot but it is still to be answered. Where are we heading...
