wise old atm

"the deeper sorrow carves into your being,
the more joy you can contain."
- atm machine

i was withdrawing money from the atm when they displayed this quote while confirming my transaction. i have no idea since when did atm machines start dispensing quotes in addition to money, but strangely they do. i also do not see the purpose or link between money and quotes.

and the quote does look mightily out of place on an atm machine. there is really no relation at all. perhaps a more befitting quote would be

"everyday spend so much money, you think money grow on trees ah?"
- your mother

actually the atm machine did not create the quote, but instead stole it from some khalil g-something fellow. probably an indian wise man or poet. might be related to ghandi or ali g.

anyway regarding khalil g's quote, let's just say i HOPE it really works that way.

  • by the time sorrow eats you up inside completely, you'd be easily contented when something good comes your way.. hence in a way it is true.

  • or maybe it's only after you've experienced PAIN that you'll truly know how to appreciate joy.

    so i wish PAIN upon all of you. for your own good.
