Isn't it funny?

Isn't it funny how often we take an 'easy' path, only to end up miles from our destination. It is so tempting, in the current financial climate, to follow the quickest and 'easiest' way to get by - but where is this path really leading us? A few hundred dollars closer to paying the mortgage?Further away from our true aspirations?
How can we follow that little mouse like voice inside that leads us to goodness when we are so transfixed by that one that screams "Dentist bill" and "Food" and "Rates" and "That bloody credit card?" And when we try to shake off these burdens (just for a moment's respite) another one tumbles on to us.
Is this why we rush through each day, ignoring those less fortunate, while we juggle around dollars, spending them here and there before we've even received them?
And while I sit here, wasting time spelling out the modern curse to those who are already well acquainted, I leave this list of questions unanswered.
Because, really, I'd be kidding myself if I said I knew.
