The RED QUEEN..

The red queen tells Alice that she will have run very fast just to stay where she is, its known as the red queen phenomena.
When I was in school, i got 72% in the 9th grade 1st term, my mom tells me, 'look at your cousin sister, she got 76%', i study hard, get 76% in the next term. Guess what, my cousin has moved on to 78%
When I went to college, I wear this faded jeans and old shirt, then i see this guy wearing this sweatshirt, i save money to buy that, cos thats in, and guess what now sweatshirts are passe and i am still where i was, basically nowhere.
Then i get a job, and I am all worked up about it, so the first acquaintance i see, I go and brag about how i work in an investment bank and all, he gives me a blank stare and tells me 'i know about you, by the way i am working with lehmann brothers'.
This happens in everything, you buy the latest mobile phone, next month there is a updated version and worse, for the same cost
when does this running stop
you run your whole life
just to keep with the Jones's
you keep on running
and then you die
to keep up with the guy next door
