Ever noticed how life is one big race after another? Race to fall in love, Race to gather wealth, Race to rule the world..Take a 360 turn around.

Ask a 16 year old, purpose in life? To get acheive the status of coupledom. The concept of being in love, of having another to think about, that thinks about them, the serenity of being in love appeals-little do they know, the tiny little world they built will eventually fall apart and come crashing down. The smart ones kill themselves, the stupid ones live on and say they will try again.

Ask a 21 year old, the call of money is the nearest thing on thier minds. What career path to go, which is more benificial, as in will make the most money(money being currency) within the shortest duration of time. Aim in life is to be rich and famous. Not a bad race if the end results is to have the bank account and assets of Bill Gates and a lifestyle of say, Cameron Diaz? I am going to make a million before i hit 30 :P

However this jetsetting lifestyle sad to say, will never be enough for the greediness of human satisfaction (Lets blame this on Pandora's Box), so ask any 30+ or near 30s? and their race would be to bag a partner settle down, get married have children that grow up to be like you and me and pray for a happily ever after.

Come 40, divorce lawyers are becoming a plentyful profession. Who would get the most out of the divorce. This is pretty much set, the lawyer (*clap clap*) gets the most, and the unsuspecting, unknowing, offspring (if any) looses the most.

Ask old greying men...ultimate aim is to rule the world. Look at Bush and Saddam. Seems to be thier race is Who can rule the world with nuclear weapons? Who can defy all legalities of keeping peace in the world? Who can exert the most power and make the world bow before them?

And then there are those over 26 dreamers who fantasize about taking over the world and becoming the next thing to GOD...genius and insanity have a very fine line.
