Individual Contribution to the world/Carlos Pueblo

A Korean Japanese movie on You Tube which was seen by me touched

me greatly after a scenery that a depressed son of the family jumped

to a river to commit suicide. He was living in a very stressful environment

with his parents and three elders sisters during a time after the War. He

was far behind at his private school and was bullied all the time in his

class. At the moment his father found that his failing report couldn’t make

to the next grade, he decided to kill himself. I feel very sad and unfortunate

that his parents can’t come to his rescue. There is a famous paragraph on

a famous poem in China by a famous poet Tai-bai Lee in Tang Dynasty and

the meaning is that all things in their being are good for something. There is

always something which we can do as a meaningful person after we are born

to this world. The school system is not perfect and doing well at school doesn’t

mean anything of the future success in the society.

I always had a question in my mind ever since my son Arthur was born. He

had had tremendous difficulty at the beginning of his life in the first 6 years.

He relied on a tube inserted to his lung for respiration until a successful operation

on the third time to strengthen his wind pipe. I don’t blame him for not working

hard at school or in the society after school. He didn’t do well at schools yet he

had a college degree. We work together for his financial needs in the future and

is very successful. We like to protect him and make sure that he is not alone to

face the challenge of the world. He helps me very much in computer technology.

I believe that he is on a right track to the future and his life will never be miserable.

I always think that I have the responsibility to help my children to help them to live

in a good life. They come to this world because of us and we must help them to get

by. There is no age limit at all and it is forever. Our daughter is a normal child without

the health issue and the rest of school performance problem and I can only say that

she is lucky. My philosophy is very simple, to a goal of financial independence and

money can solve almost 80% of our suffering. You can argue with me for all your life,

yet we must face it and prepare to solve it as early as possible.

I also see some videos of the American poverty, i.e. people are sleeping on the parking

lots of Wal-Mart, political agenda such as healthcare for all, college free, and minimum

wage, etc. They are all money issues. I don’t expect that we can wait until the government

to get them done, we must do them by ourselves first. There is always a usage of our life

after our birth to this world.
