Pensive: Masquerading Around!

By Sarah Mahmood

Weighing relationships in terms of monetary benefits is but another ill gifted to us by the capitalist world. I have seen many people around me who have been on excellent terms with a certain few, those who could in any way benefit them. The ultimate aim of all these contacts is of course $$$! You are either looking to save some, or to make a few more. One way or the other, it is all but a game of charades, of manipulation, of pretentious facades...a masquerade to secure what really does not deliver in the end: MONEY!
