Meaning of Life
What are the answers you give to children when they ask, “Why father or mother have to work?” Commonly happens, we as parents say: “Finding the money!” The answer is of course is very logical and reasonable. On the other hand, are not we then become intrigued with the answer?
Am I correct that priority and the reason we worked hard and racked my brain just looking for money? Was not looking for money activities could be heard discordant if the origin of the number of millions, billions, even trillions of rupiah, which was corrupted or engineered by way of “insider trading” of certain elements? If the money is obtained, but the quality of life and personal character does not get better, and there are aggrieved parties, meaningful work that we do?
Many people can not imagine what the money billions or trillions owned and how many of them spent. Although not always been meaning to find the money or the pursuit of profit equally from one individual to another, we too often see how people in today’s crazy about money. People who “are”, drive cool, dressed up with branded goods, is treated with a more respected and given space more respectable. People feel lack of money continues, and issued a statement that the need is endless. As if we look for reasons to be materialists.
Sometimes we confuse yourself why we are stuck in this collective culture of greed. A philosopher describes the current situation as follows: “How much is enough, and why are people willing to risk so much to get more? If money is so alluring, how is it that so many people of great wealth also seem so unhappy? “(How much is enough, and why people are willing to take risks to get more? If the money is so compelling, why so many rich man also does not look happy?)
In an age when young people aged between 20-30 years easily become rich, challenge to find the meaning of money or property also seemed less and less priority. With offers of loans without collateral, the promises of mutual benefit, the more watered down mortgage loans, which are always new gadgets, people forget to question the existence in this world, what the mission and purpose of his life, what is the meaning of life and meaning of work.
