Without Love, I am Bankrupt.

Taking time off from work has made me realize that life is all about relationships. Eversince I started working my ass off, I have become like an ass myself. I wasn’t able to nurture intimate relationships with my colleagues. I wasn’t able to maintain the close relationships I had with my friends. I had become a stranger to my family. - All because of work - work - work! I tried to work to keep myself from being bankrupt. I tried to make myself happy by buying new things. But all work ever did was create an emptiness that I found hard to control. The more I worked, the more money I had. But then, busyness is the death of any relationship. So now I am trying to patch things up with my close friends. Slowly, I am building the relationship where we left off. Now, I have more time talking with my family. I am not a boarder anymore, nor am I a stranger. It’s sad to think that I have wasted my time on things that don’t even matter. Apostle Paul once said, "No matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do, without love, I am bankrupt." When I was working, I thought I would never be bankrupt. I was dead wrong! You know what, now that I have patched up my relationships, I am richer than ever. Life is about relationships. Now I have a life.
