The meaning of work:
Previously I mentioned that I slacked offĀ
I took a 3 days leave and planned to chill in Hong Kong
But then I realised not doing any work at all could be very boring
āDuring that 3 days, I read, went to the gym, had coffee and drinks with my friends
I did not touch any work at all
š¹ Yet even after all that I still found myself with plenty of free time.
Eventually I went back to work for a short period on my 3rd day of leaveĀ
My parents think I was insaneĀ
But the feeling of idleness was just too much for me to bear
I realized I really dislike the sensation of doing nothing
It makes me feel useless to society
š¢ This led me to reflect on the deeper meaning of work.
Many people continue to work even after retirement
I think thatās because work gives us a sense of purpose and fulfillment
š° Itās not just about earning a paycheck
Itās about contributing, staying engaged, and finding meaning in our daily lives.
So Iām curious:Ā
š§ How do you find meaning in your work?Ā
š§ Have you ever felt uneasy doing ānothingā?
