Enslaved Chaos.

"We've got much more control than money. You can't get everything. We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. We chose. Control is freedom. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. Controlling what we do is being free. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing. A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses." - Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Daft Punk.

I couldn't agree more, wholeheartedly concur.

We let ourselves to be the absolute victims and be controlled in exchange to the money and fame, where we are totally weak to resist, letting souls annihilation in progress.

Let us know now, that the taste of fame is a case of temporary sweetness. Ironically, said by the humble people who have got all of the money and fame where in a view they have seen what's the rave about having lots of fans and fortune (astonishingly with forever under their robotic mask).


p.s : Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character. OK, this's not mine. Taken from a philosopher who thinks charisma's better than relying on pretty face for praise. We should start to worry on sinking in a world that settles with who audaciously flashes more flesh flawlessly wins. False courage, isn't it?

p.p.s : Baru pulang daripada Singapura dan merasakan Singapura adalah sebuah negara yang stress. OK, mempunyai habit off topic lagi.

control and money (or lack thereof) is implication of the mentality one puts forth..those billionaires didn't do petty work that other people wanted them to do to get to where they are. They had control over their destiny and what they did. But perhaps this is more accurate about control and fame.
Gua punya kata sposen jo la.

Singapura stress kerna mereka sebenarnya bandar besar dan bukan negara (dari pemandangan kasar dan bukan politik). Mereka tiada natural resources yang tinggi untuk kebanyakkan mereka mencari kewangan. Limited job bubble. Semua mengejar benda yang sama (dalam keadaan yang laju).
Itu gua punya kata duaposen.
