Making a choice between two perfect but not-so-perfect worlds can be a very hard decision to take because of the imperfections that come with both worlds, Endless love or Financial stability? Do I want a live a life where I feel all the low in the world but have to struggle to make ends meet or a lonely world where I can afford all the luxury I want, for me, I would rather have a balance of both worlds.
No doubt Financial security is everyone's desire as it helps us have peace of mind knowing no matter what comes our way, we can always afford the expenses and there is that confidence one has when you are financially secure, you can travel the world, be respected, because people especially here in my country respect rich people, and also there I that fulfillment you get when you are in the position to be of help to people, yes, you easily gain people's attention but it isn't always genuine as most friends or relationship you make when you are well to do would most likely be because you are financially stable, hence, finding real love becomes an issue, not just in movies, it's also happens in real life, a rich man disguising as a poor man to find true love.
A common problem for wealthy individuals is that even though they are surrounded by lots of people, friends, staffs, family, etc there is still that feeling of emptiness despite all they have and that Is where genuine endless love has to fill, and sadly, money can't buy that genuine love that gives you pure happiness.
On the other hand, finding people or someone who gives us pure endless love makes us feel peace in our soul, and gives us that genuine happiness because we have someone we can connect with, who understands us and shares our ups and down moment with, a life partner. We feel less pressure and our mental state is healthy because of them, as we create loving and lasting memories that always put a smile on our faces, but when finances start becoming a burden, there is every tendency for the love to diminish, as the attention you focus on each other is suddenly diverted to the stress of trying to meet up with your needs, this is the reason why people fall in love genuinely, get married, have kid and more responsibilities, then finances become an issue as they can't meet up with their added needs, only to end up in a divorce, you begin to wonder if there was even love among them in the first place, of course, there was, the truth remains that< only love can't sustain a relationship, in fact, my people will say "Love is sweeter when there is money"
That being stated, it is necessary to have a balance of both worlds to live a fulfilled life, when you have a supportive partner, they motivate you to keep pushing towards your financial goals and when things are not going well, they support you. I remember when my husband was faced with a serious financial crisis difficulty due to a bad investment decision he took in his business, it made him depressed at some point, but my support emotionally, physically, and financially helped him heal and bounce back from that state.
I would rather have the best of both worlds than one perfect side, well, this is my personal choice, it may be different from someone else, I understand they might have their reasons, also based on their experiences in life, life is a continuous process, it is important to align one's life with values and priorities, it is better to live a life that is fulfilling than to live an unhappy life.
