So Chinese new years is a blink away and I hear all these kids saying that they can't wait to see those red envelopes for money... That. Pisses. Me. Off.
I'm NOT a materialistic person. If I ever become rich for something that I truly love to do, I'm going to give a good amount of my fortune to charity and all that good feeling stuff.
My parents gave me red envelopes a couple days ago and I didn't bother opening them. I just like the fact that I get something like that, I don't care about how much money I get or all that monetary profit at the end of Chinese new years, I just care that it's a tradition I get to enjoy. I get to visit family that I dont get to see often on a regular basis, be O.K. in believing in luck and good fortune, even though I know that nothing happens out of chance in the real world, and being able to wear new clothes every year for a whole week.
I don't really want to be negative during chinese new years so I'm just to stop there with my rant haha.
Being a younger generation, the stuff we love as a kid and all the morals&manners that our parents taught us are deteriorating like a sand castle with every wave that comes by. By waves, I mean with every new round 8th graders.
