Matters of The Heart - Money. Your Life Purpose?
Is Money Really Our Life Purpose?
An average Singaporean works about 50 hours a week all in the name of earning money. Most carry the responsibility of feeding their family, pleasing their partners, satisfying their personal desires and fulfilling medical bills. We work like crazy but at the end of the day the hard earned money still flows back into the economy.
Work like crazy -> Receive Salary -> Feed the economy -> Work like crazy -> Receive Salary -> Feed the economy -> Work like crazy -> Receive Salary -> Feed the economy -> Work like crazy -> Receive Salary -> Feed the economy and the cycle goes on.
Many make money their life purpose unconsciously. But is there more out there for us to look forward to when we wake up from our bed instead of just pay day? Some count life as a journey and working is part and parcel of that walk we need to take to become an experienced member of society so that the younger generation would have a mentor to hold their hand.
Money is never my life purpose. In my opinion, love, family and friendship are on the top of my list as they are priceless compared wealth. At least when I wake up I do not feel empty from the inside of me knowing that when I fail in certain battles such as earning big money, I have people who would still accept me for who I am.
How about you? Is money your number one priority in life or life isn’t really all about money?

We become slaves of money.
That's how sad life is ;)
In order to live happily, we need money to survive.
Den again, with money, it's not necessary you're able to buy everything on earth. Some things really can't use money to exchange.
Just dun betray yourself for money. Guess that's the minimum one can do nowadays in this society.
