Search your inner self.
Mind is the forerunner of everything.
External problem is like a Web.
You can never get out completely.
Everything in life, good or bad is just an experience.
Like a dream, like an illusion, like a bubble....
Our inner self, our spiritual journey..
The way to happiness and peace.

You need a life coach to find meaning. Start with getting rid of your negative thoughts... and focus only on positive thoughts.

Life is great but it starts in your mind.

If you keep thinking it is bad, it will get worse. Do u want that?

Well for me is to feed children and support my parents. If none of these exist, I would have earned enough in my working life to retire at this very moment! Earn a living to feed and support others on top of feed ownself is cham tiring when will it end? Parents up lorry. Children all go out to work. Aha now I can throw letter retire.

Your chance will surely come. It's a matter of time.
You look after your parents, your children will eventually look after you.

You asked a profound question.
I will attempt a profound answer.

1. Why is the purpose of society and our role in society?

2. In Singapore every citizen is an economic cog that is part of an economic engine.

3. As he gets old productivity drops and his role in our society is diminished.

4. Hence the despair.

Basically it's the value system of our society. You are measured by your ability to make money

Well that is the signal our MIW sent to us peasants. They demand to be paid millions so can work. This means monies super lagi important. Hence peasants like us take cue from their stand and vow to earn as much monies as possible even though we know we can never reach their status in terms of monies paid.

You wrong liao. Now the children is stick out hand ask for monies. Don't give or give enough they argue why you give birth to them?!?! Times are different now the children talk as if we parents owe them a living! I prefer to be single so now I can retire liao no need feed them and they argue back to you.
