Two of my friends who live in the same neighborhood went to the police station.

These days, the world seems to give a lot of relative deprivation.

The middle class is shrinking,
the gap between rich and poor is widening..
The days when dragons were born from the sky are becoming a thing of the past.


I eat and live,
but some carry designer bags..and others drive foreign cars in multi-billion won apartments..
It's because we are in a structure where we can feel relative deprivation.

 


When I was young..
Two of my friends who lived in the same neighborhood went to the police academy..
They used to be worse at studying than me.
But they played and
they studied hard and became police officers..
Now they are probably much richer than me.

If I compare myself to those two,
I will only be a loser.
But when people compare unconsciously, it's
money.

But I don't think so.
This is not self-comforting hypnosis, but my honest feelings.
Even though those friends became police officers..and have stable jobs and may earn more than me,
I have something they don't.
Money is not everything in the world..and what I have is as precious as money.

 

 

For example..

Unparalleled barking.

 

 

To those who have read this seriously,

I apologize.

    [KR] 돈으로 비교하는 삶이 얼마나 우울하고 비참한지 머리는 알면서도 가슴으로 잘 안되는게 현실이죠... 돈으로 비교를 하려면 나보다 못한 사람을 보며 위로받고 나보다 잘난 사람을 보며 목표를 삼아 살아야 한다고 하지만... 현실은 그렇지 않죠. 돈을 위주로 비교하는 삶을 사는 사람들에게 이런 이야기를 해봐야... 그러면 다른 가치로 행복을 평가하는건 적당한 기준인가... 라는 반문을 들을까 함구하게 됩니다.


    [EN] We know intellectually how depressing and miserable it is to live by comparing ourselves through money, but our hearts struggle to accept it in reality... They say that if you compare by money, you should find comfort in those worse off than you and take those better off as your goals to strive for... but that's simply not how reality works. When I try to tell this to people who live lives centered on comparing themselves by money... I end up holding my tongue, fearing they might ask back, "Then is evaluating happiness by different values really an appropriate standard?" and I'm left without words.


    [ID] Meski akal mengerti betapa depresinya dan mirisnya hidup yang membandingkan diri dengan uang, pada kenyataannya hati tidak bisa menerima itu... Dikatakan bahwa untuk membandingkan berdasarkan uang, kita harus mendapatkan penghiburan dengan melihat orang yang lebih buruk dari kita, dan menjadikan orang yang lebih baik dari kita sebagai target hidup... namun kenyataannya tidaklah seperti itu. Ketika mencoba berbicara hal semacam itu kepada orang-orang yang hidup dengan membandingkan uang sebagai prioritas utama... kami khawatir akan menerima pertanyaan balik, 'bukankah mengevaluasi kebahagiaan dengan nilai-nilai lain adalah standar yang pantas?'... dan pada akhirnya kami terdiam.

    사람들이 저보고 이상주의자라고 그럼니다..돈이 꼭 최고가 아니다고 말하니까 그런거 같은데..돈도 중요합니다..누군가에게는 돈이 최고의 선이 되는데 그건 그 사람의 기준이거든요..근데 대부분의 사람들이 추구하는 최고의 선을 내가 부정한다해서 내가 잘못된 건 아니죠..저한테는 다른 기준이란게 있거든요..근데 그걸 폄하하는거죠..아직 정신 못차렸다던지..아니면 늙어서 어떻게 하려고 그러느냐..뭐 그런거..늙으면 죽겠죠..돈이 최고의 선인 사람은 돈을 쫒다 죽을것이고..전 제가 추구하는 최고의 선을 쫒다 죽는다는 차이..아니면..조금 더 비싼집에서 비싼옷을 입고 비싼 음식을 먹다 죽는것과 그러지 못한 차이 정도가 아닐까..요..

    People call me an idealist. I think it's because I say money isn't everything. But money is important too. For some people, money becomes the highest good, and that's their standard. But just because I reject the highest good that most people pursue doesn't mean I'm wrong. I have my own criteria. But they look down on that. They say I haven't come to my senses yet, or they ask how I'll manage when I'm old. Things like that. When you're old, you'll die anyway. Someone who sees money as the highest good will die chasing money. I'll die pursuing the highest good that I seek—that's the difference. Or maybe it's just the difference between dying in a more expensive house, wearing expensive clothes, eating expensive food versus not being able to do that.

    Orang-orang mengatakan saya seorang idealis.. mungkin itu karena saya mengatakan uang bukan yang paling penting.. Uang memang penting juga.. Bagi beberapa orang, uang adalah kebaikan tertinggi, itu adalah standar mereka.. Tapi hanya karena saya menolak kebaikan tertinggi yang dikejar sebagian besar orang bukan berarti saya salah.. Saya punya standar yang berbeda.. Tapi mereka merendahkan itu.. Bilang saya belum sepenuhnya sadar.. atau ketika tua nanti, apa mau dikejar.. Hal-hal seperti itu.. Saat tua, mati saja.. Orang yang menganggap uang kebaikan tertinggi akan mati mengejar uang.. Sedangkan saya akan mati mengejar kebaikan tertinggi yang saya kejar, itulah perbedaannya.. Atau.. mungkin hanya perbedaan antara mati di rumah lebih mahal dengan pakaian mahal dan makanan mahal, versus tidak bisa seperti itu.. kira-kira begitu..
