Life : My Point Of View
How does one achieve balance in life ? Since I couldn't sleep due to this little insomnia I'm suffering right now , this exquisite mind starts to work me up at this late hour . I was just wondering , the way we live nowadays to survive . Life is about achieving happiness and harmony and all that crap right ? .. but somehow I see that the quality of our lives in general , especially among working adults , is slowly deteriorating . We live in a world where money is required to get us almost everything . When we get to buy what we want , we become happy right ? Ok.
And in order to get money , we need to work . Only then we'll be able to get to do things we want . However , nowadays , I think us working adults are being overworked while earning 'just enough' money for us to survive every month . With oil prices and other things currently on the rise , it has definitely put a strain on our pockets . I feel as if we're gonna have to work our asses off til we die and not really achieve the ultimate purpose : happiness . Every one of us would want to have time for God , ourselves , with family , friends and of course , loved ones . I feel that once you dive into the working environment , things change . You tend to get 'separated' from these things . You have to work and work and work . You're trapped in this thing called 'routine' . Becoming a slave to time . After work , all the time you have left when you get back home , is dinner time and off you go to bed . And the next morning , the cycle continues .. again and again . Why ? because you have to . In my case , its different , my work would definitely suit those bats and jobless draculas out there coz of the shifts .
I wish that there will be lesser days to work , so that we could have ample time for us to achieve our individual happiness . I cannot help but feel pity seeing some people working so hard til it endangers their health hoping to earn that extra $$ . I ask myself , "All that hard work , is he 'happy' ? deep down inside ? " . I wish the world would not be too concerned with money , paying your bills etc... I may sound like a spiritual guru or something , but I just feel that it sux that we cannot be happy and earn enough money at the same time to carry on with life ... stress free . I feel that we all deserve to be happy and deserve an equal amount luck and security amongst each other . I just feel like the idea of having to work while having lesser time to enjoy life is not the way to go . What's the point of earning lots of $$ if you don't have time to spend it ? Before everyone jumps to a conclusion that I'm currently unhappy with my job , let me just clarify that I'm doing just fine :) .
Somehow I think the world lacks this thing called love , you know . Work makes you less compassionate , it distances yourself from those you care about unintentionally , thus people tend to care less for one another . Melodramatic it may sound , but you just can't help but feeling corny once in a while . Seriously , look around you , theres more hate in the world nowadays . Wars and more wars , friends become enemies , broken families etc.. I just wish that we only have one race . A universally unified race , not separated by colour nor creed .
How do we get out of this 'programming' ? study-->work-->die . Can we get out of this vicious cycle ? Can we be free ? If I were going to die , I definitely would not want to die feeling tired of work or anything and not achieving my happiness . I wanna die happy , with a peace of mind , having felt emotions , love , friendship , family values.. having fulfilled what is required of me religious-wise among other things .
Point to ponder , nevertheless . No ?
