Epiphany

This one is real!

So today one of the most tragic things happened. My house was robbed. But anyway, to the point of this post. I realized that my mom's money hiding place was flipped inside out. Though I wasn't too worried about the jewelry and handbags that were stolen (and luckily none of the laptops/computers), I knew my mom was saving cash in an absurd range. Now, this made me extremely worried, but I proceeded to work. I got a call from my dad saying that my mom had, just a few days prior, left the money elsewhere and forgot to put it back in the proper spot. Now either this was a stroke of luck or a higher being was trying to teach me a very valuable lesson. 1) Money should not be scoffed at, as I sometimes take for granted. 2) Some do not work nearly as hard to get what they want. The burglars probably don't know what it means to work up a sweat. This got me thinking, and I can be compared in a similar context as the burglar. I get free money without having to work so hard and in return my parents bear all the burden (as represented in a tax on a perfectly elastic demand curve). I am, in a way, undeserving and learned my lesson the really hard way. My alertness on money has risen and my comfortable life will be more appreciated. Too bad for my mom though. =T My next paycheck shall be devoted to buying her a piece of decent jewelry.
