My friend of over 30 years broke down and cried before me, deep in a state of depression only managing to utter four words, was it worth it. My friend spent all her adult life in pursuit of success, she had all the right goals and determination but forgot to live her life. She spent years accumulating knowledge and wealth but unfortunately all that did not train her on what was to unfold after all that has been gained.
Her marriages did not last, her relations with her children were strained and she just did not understand the need to bond with family members. Her success was her life and she wanted nothing to stand in her way of achieving her dreams.
Unfortunately time goes on and people grow old and they need to exit the employment sector. This is the time my friend discovered that success is not everything when you have no one to enjoy it with, the wealth she accumulated has no value because she is alone and people especially her children and family have maintained the distance she desired.
My friend has learned the hardest way that money and success is nothing when one has no one to spend it with. My silent answer to her was it was definitely not worth it to distance people, no one lives in an island we all need love and care and we all need to understand the value of love. #smed12
