What's the Point

Excessive celebration and opulence. The newest resort in Dubai, Atlantis the Palm, was opened this week with a mega celebration costing a staggering 20 million dollars. Amid lots of critics, the owner said this is a small amount compared to the cost of the resort itself which is about $1.5 billion. The irony is that some people think that Kylie Minogue fully deserved to be paid $4.4 million for her one hour show but piled hatred and called the owner greedy, selfish and self-centred immoral fat cats. The owner is not even a Saudi, a South African to be exact.

Nonetheless it does bring one to think why many people are looking for extravagence and opulence in life. I am not against people aspiring for good life and getting the right rewards, but lets not be too excessive. If only we all take one moment and have thoughts for the hungry and the have-nots, that will hopefully help us to act differently and avoid us being too opulence in life.
