Had a discussion with a close friend today from her FB posting about an option between crying in a Merc and a bicycle and her response was in a Toyota of sorts in regards to happiness in life and general musings. When she asked for my answer, I replied a Merc-why? Because it has air-con to dry the tears, kick ass stereo with surround sound for an uplifting jam to lift my spirits and a random bottle of something alcoholic to lift up my spirits ;). In addition tinted windows so that people don't see me cry and my credit card in the car to get me a pair of Jimmy Choos to again-lift up my spirits.
At this queried whether we are too materialistic and I told her my deduction of the situation is that we just want the best in life for ourselves, and who can blame us?
Would you rather cry on a bike in the dust, glaring sun and in public viewing where you could even preng the bike and cause even more public disgrace or in a Merc with dignified poise (mind you, while weeping), privacy and consoling surroundings?
Ponder this and a mzuri weekend people as we cheer on Ghana tonight in the world cup! (",)
