Which is more important, Love or Money? What is your answer?
The idealistic answer is love.
The realistic answer is money.
Sometimes life is not as straightforward. Even for the most idealistic person, there will be circumstances that make the person choose money.
Let me give you a scenario.
Girl and Boy are childhood sweethearts. They grew up in a small town and then went to KL to live and work. The girl advances much faster in her career than the boy. Boy struggles to keep a steady job. He feels disillusioned, although he tries hard but it seems like luck is just not on his side. Meanwhile his girl advances up in her career and mixes with the corporate and professional people. Boy does not fit in to the crowd. Girl’s boss takes on interested on her and pursues her. He is stable, doing well in career and provides the security that Boy does not have. While she loves Boy now, she also feel they have drifted apart and she is thinking of her future. She also believes that he will eventually succeed but just that it is not happening now. She may not love her boss as much but she feels she can grow to love him for he is a good man.
So, should she be realistic or idealistic?
Should she choose money and stability?
Or should she stay put with a struggling man all because of love?
