Are you Well-settled?

This question we asked ourselves severaltimes during the life time is often. But if we think of the answer, each timewe will extend the list and say no. Is there any difference between Well-settledand settled? I think there is not at all a difference; we all think that if wehave a house then it is settlement in life. But if we see a car we too wish tohave a car and if we achieved it, are we settled down in life?

Again the answer is no. We need to have a huge balance in a bank or apolicy which helps us in our retired life so that we cannot depend on ourchildren and be a burden for them. This attitude makes a person rather drive aperson to make savings more and more. Now can you please tell whether we arewell settled in present as well as future?

Again the answer is no. We see alatest mobile phone or any gadgets in the market, our colleague uses the samehence we wish to get the same even though we have a similar kind (may be theearlier version) in our hand already. We opt for the new one immediatelywithout any question and happy once we brought it. This is similar in case ofcars, laptops, another flat or plot and other accessories. Havewe thought a while what we are going to achieve out of this action. Nothing is gainedexcept extravagance.

But nowadays we ignore usingthese actions in a word called “luxury”. No one of us wanted to use thementioned word when we buy these things rather we justify ourselves sayingthese are the basic needs in today’s life.

Moreover even if we achieved allthese, the person’s next wish is to go for a foreign trip with his family oncein three years. Because we did not know what we can do with the huge money we earned.One side it shows the increase in the purchasing power of a man and welfare ofthe country but on the other hand it affects the other side of an ordinaryperson who earns and spends little. For him an accommodation (rental), food andclothing itself is a nightmare. So mixedeconomy like us has these differences and difficulties in social status which isunavoidable.

So tell me whether the term wellsettled is infinite? From my point I would say it is measured by one’s selfsatisfaction. I want to share your opinion on this. Thanks for reading.

 

Well said sudha mam, only materialistic thing we have not attained self satisfaction, we need to mature enough to tell the word "enough"

 

Rgs mam, ha ha ha may be it shows your cousin's good quality by saying these quotes, well said !!

 

Hai geeven, i like your last line you have mentioned.

 

Dear Stranger, Thanks for reading and fb. From my point of view i do not find any differences in these two. These are framed by ourselves in our mind but practically all need self satisfaction i hope.
