okay another one of those think-y posts.

yeah i agree with joan's post,(one about money)
to quote part of her blog post:

oh. i want to be a doctor when i grow up so i can make lots of money. they should go oh, i want to be a doctor when i grow up because i want to save the lives of others.

that makes a lot of sense to me.if you have a bunch of people who want to be doctors for money's sake, i think you'd get a buncha doctors who do the job just because it pays well.
not because they want to help others.
not because they want to rid the world of illness.
not because they want to save lives.
how sad.
there's no will to do the job well.
just that of getting your paycheck.
why does our society sometimes be so...so...money motivated?
i mean, i want to be a writer when i grow up.
but not because i want to be uber-famous and earn millions of dollars.
not because i want people to google my name and so i can get my books made into hollywood movies.
it's because i really love writing. and i want others to know my stories, evoke a reaction. i want them to feel what the character in my book feel, to be able to relate to what they are reading.
i want to introduce the readers to my world. the world as i see it.
i don't want to grow up so i can earn lots and lots of money if it means i will feel nothing for what i'm doing.
