I am not a schemer

Last week, I re-watched my favorite movie of all time - 'The Dark Knight'. In fact, that will be my 4th or 5th time watching it, but I still enjoyed it.

After Harvey Dent was injured in the explosion, losing half of his face, The Joker visited him and tried to corrupt him. At the encounter, The Joker told Harvey that all these were not his fault, he didn't plan all that, he didn't have plan, he was not a schemer, he just DO! His action can be described as a dog chasing a car, he didn't know what to do with it when he caught it.

Indeed, when a dog chases a car, it has a goal, but without a purpose. It chases for the sake of chasing, or by its instinct. Simple thing, but it struck me hard to the bottom of my heart -- Am I like the dog? If someone ask me about my goal, I would say it is wealth. But what do I do after I got it? I can't answer now still at 38.

So, I need to keep on asking myself, "Am I the dog chasing the car?"
