What's wrong with,

What's wrong with just getting by?
What's wrong with having just enough.
You always say, we must save up save up save up.
But when we die, doesn't it all return void?
Whatever we have saved up here on earth, we wouldn't be able to bring it to eternity.
Why do we need so much?
Why do we desire so much?
Money, a good career, money, more money, money money money.
Why does the world revolve around money?
Why?
Why can't we don't have the kind of job that requires us to be at work all the time, so we can spend more time with our family?
Though we might earn less, and though maybe sometimes we might encounter a crisis, shouldn't it be the time where we become more dependent on God?
If we're so rich, it gets to our head that we did it on our own, that we don't need God to provide.
Because we have it all planned out, "Wow, you see, because I saved so much, I managed to avoid this crisis here, blah blah blah"
But if we just have enough to get by, we would say something like, "I know I can trust God to provide me in this time, so that at the end of this trial we can stand and glorify God with an awesome testimony."
Shouldn't that be the way?
Rather than trying so hard to earn more money, that you forsake time spent with your family, that you skip church meetings and services because you have to be overseas working.
Why do people even do that?
Especially as Christians.
What makes us different from the rest of the world if we follow the standards of the world by trying to gain wordly possessions?
It's just so, disappointing, when I think about it.
It makes me sick to think what Christian parents are drilling into the minds of their children.
Nuff said, I'm just feeling so, so disappointed...
