Demonic life
-
Nowadays working adults are like zombies, working robots, who work from morning til 7pm-8pm average on weekdays and hardly had time for other stuff when they're back home. On weekends, the activities & appointments are either so piled up that it's like another working day, or it's so relaxing that they think they're wasting their time.
Do we really have to work so hard, so long? Is it worth it? If you know you're going to die soon, will you still do that?
Personally i think we have to appreciate every single moment in our life, practicing mindfullness. We only have around 80 yrs to go before we're expired, is it really necessary to work such long hours for the rest of our lifes? If you take away the long hours you spend studying from primary 1-6, then sec 1-4, JC, Poly, University, then working. How much time or mins of your life are you truely living?
We have all we need - fresh air, water, food. They're not at a high cost. The majority of us work because of our fear of getting sicked, medical cost, insurance, burden and our endless craving of more and more and MORE of those material stuff which we don't really need. You are forever in your journey to reach your "destination" which is forever resetted and you'll be forever on your striving stage. This is sad.
Although i understand the need to contribute to the society and play a part in the economy, i think it's equally important to appreciate life. Our present cycle of work, spend, work, spend is really a waste of time!
Yes, Singapore would not remains the leading economy if we slow down, but we will not DIE. It's up to you to see if you think it's worth it. We'll gain more by having less.
A white paper might appear empty and not as colourful as those colours you see, but did you know that a paper is white because it has every colours?
We ought to stop this endless craving of ours, we're living a demonic life! Innocent child are trained to never had enough of everything. The open market had spin the desires of ppl to the point where it's out of control. People are manipulating people in the management, media. Insurance are eating and fueling the insecurities that people have. People are lost, they work and work and work, but they never seem to be happy. They know something is wrong but they can't identify it, because everyone seems to be doing the same thing! People are committing sucides more often.
A world that is currently built on desires, craving (industrialisation, capitalism, consumerism) is dangerous. They're built on the foundation that people can never truely be satisfied, they have to be always on the mode - "looking for more" in order for the economy to work. They're boosting the demonic factors found in every religions.
It's no wonder we're now at the end of times!

This is because you are in the rat race in this free market economy. The only way out from this rat race is to learn to make money and get out from the rat race. You are in the stage of "realisation." Go and read books by Robert Kirosaki to break this cycle.

long working hours are parts and parcels of asians culture..asians are not born smart, that's why they need to work way harder than the westerners
if we emulate the relaxed lifestyle of the westerners, we would be doomed cos we don't possess the level of intellectual ability they have

MOM requirement of at least 44 working hours per week is too long.
Should shorten to 37 hours or less.

the westerners are able to relax because we all do the majority of the work for them, not because they are smart. Someone have to 'sacrifise' in order to benefit another, this is not worldly love among fellow human beings but exploitation of fellow humans.

We need to meditate for peace and happiness, but a good place for meditation is not easy to find.
