"other people make a living, we make a life"

talked with my indian friend Vivek about something in life. we actually love to share these thoughts.

A taxi driver said he's gambling soccer and horse racing to kill free time. To Vivek and me, "to do something to kill free time" seems to be the most luxury waste... where other people like us don't have this luxury.

to us, it's like a westerner talking to some starved children in Africa: i am too full to eat the food on the table. let's throw them away.

At first we would think, "oh that's cool, they have free time to spend, and we are busy like hell" then after a minute i think that they are so poor coz they have nothing meaningful to do in life, and we stuffed our life with all kinds of things. we lives life to the max!

thus Vivek comes up an indian word or wisdom: "other people make a living, we make a life"
