What Is Work For?

Last week, I starting thinking about why so many people devote so much of their lives to work, and seem to get so little enjoyment or reward in return. It doesn’t seem to make a great deal of sense. Surveys show that many people, perhaps a majority, feel dissatisfied with some major aspect of their working lives. It may be lack of satisfaction, too little free time, too little reward, or work that bores and frustrates them.

Life isn’t always (or often) fair and few people get all that they want, but to have so many people who feel dissatisfied with a major aspect of their life raises an important question. What is the problem? Why are so many people so unhappy? What is work for?

There is an obvious and superficial answer to the last question: you work to make enough money to support yourself and any family you may have. But that doesn’t seem a good enough answer. If work had no more than this utilitarian purpose, no one would do a single hour of work past the point where they had enough money to sustain life. You could argue that what people see as “enough” varies hugely. Some are content with modest lives; others want the best of everything. But the general point would still hold good.

Well, yes. But that doesn’t explain why ultra-rich people go on working and amassing money far past the point where they are even able to spend it in their lifetime. Nor does it address the phenomenon I tried to think about in my posting Leisure Is the Meaning of Work. It seems for many people today work is no longer a means to an end (whatever that end may be). The reward for work success has become the requirement to work still more . . . and so on, for ever and ever. Amen. A means to a means to a means. Maybe that’s why so many are feeling frustrated and miserable: the end for which work is the means never comes into view. It’s just more work ahead, like in the old Buddhist tale about the guru who told his disciples that the world sits in space on the back of four elephants. The youngest and cheekiest disciple asked what the elephants stood on. “More elephants,” replied the guru. “And what do those elephants stand on?” asked the disciple, trying to show how clever he could be. “Look,” replied the exasperated guru. “It’s elephants all the way down. Get it?”

One aspect of this endless cycle of work for work’s sake seems to be a loss of any great interest in seeking The Common Good. In the past, a willingness to work together for the common good was seen as the natural basis of democracy and the foundation of any society. Today, individualism is rampant, and each person seems to be out for him or herself, regardless of others’ needs. Despite much pious cant about “customer-centric organizations,” the reality is that the managers of an enterprise gain the lion’s share of the rewards. With “ownership” spread between huge financial institutions, many corporations no longer face any effective external control. So long as they make profits for these institutional shareholders, thereby meeting their self-interest, the executives in charge are free to do pretty much as they wish. Maybe it’s all tied up with the epidemic of short-term thinking; the “grab-and-go” style of corporate management. Whatever the reason, it’s making for some miserable working conditions.

Looking to the past brought me to Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who observed and commented on the fledgling American republic in the early 1800s. His argued that true freedom is compromised as soon as people are limited in all the small, daily decisions of life. That struck a chord for me. In The Freedom to Choose . . . and the Time to Do It, I suggested that unless people have the freedom to choose the small things in their lives, any larger freedoms have little meaning. You may have freedom to vote, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech, but if you aren’t free to take some time off occasionally, or decide how you want to balance work with the rest of your life, you will still feel like a slave. Petty tyrannies are rampant in most organizations, breeding mistrust and frustration. Tyranny—be it religious, political, economic, or military—always begins with oppression in the small, seemingly insignificant things of life, before growing to envelope everything else. We should slow down and stop this insidious growth, before it stifles our lives with poisonous tentacles.

靠自己最好

忙碌的生活的确需要一个静思的空间，来观看社会现处的状况。欺骗、抢劫、强奸、谋杀、奸杀...太多的社会问题。我个人的观点是，我们是否有足够的警队来保护所有的受害者。不如，提升个人危机意识，学习自己保护自己。
近期发生于南马新山的两宗又抢又奸的新闻，的确令人共愤及悲哀。共愤的是为何人类能够做出如此狼心狗肺、卑鄙的行为。悲哀的是有关方面对于此事的看待有欠 认真。是因为长期不断都有类似的报案，他们都习惯了。还是现在的匪徒已经不再胆小了，顾及的也不再这么多了。种种原因之下，抛开对警方的要求和批评，在远 离匪徒缺乏人性的行为，笔者认为天下的治安应该从个人开始。至少，危机会立刻降低一半。
没有人能够比自己更清楚自己的情况。因此在依赖他人提援助之前，我们应该从自己身上先打量一下。 自己的行为，衣着，谈吐是否没有"引狼入室"的焦点。曾经有位朋友理直气壮的告诉我，做人应该要学习"放"一点，才容易和他人相处，沟通也比较容易。但是 往往很多人"放"了之后忘了收回来，还不断在话题上"游荡"，最终就会沦落成放荡的结果。同时间再加上个人缺乏安全的衣着，隐藏诱惑的原理，危机当然很快 就会跟着来。
话说回来，无可否认的社会治安出现了问题，也潜藏无数的危机。我们会不断听到，为何不好的事情会不断发生，同时间我们的不断质疑警方是否有足够的能力协助 受害者。就如每回在咖啡室常会听说，谁谁被人打枪，某某被骗。每当问及是否有向警方报案，传来的只有一句:没用的啦，报了案又怎样？笔者认为这应该是有关 方面必须深入探讨了解的问题吧！
可是，在失去信心之前，不妨我们自己提高个人警惕，加强个人危机意识，学习保护自己。所谓靠人，人会跑；靠山，山会倒；靠水，水会流；靠自己，最好！ 对于，已经发生在自己身上的遭遇，依然可以勇敢面对。我们更应该给予赞扬和鼓励，至少她们没有向恶势力低头，并要我们学习更坚强！祝福她们。

人只要知足就是稳定！！

就一群朋友座下来，每回聊的就是成就，经济基础，物质享受。每次都会听到朋友说“钱不够用”，生活还没稳定，不能结婚，不能生小孩等等等等....深入想了想，到底怎样才叫做稳定？以前数百令吉的收入到现在的数千令吉的支出，人还是觉得自己没有稳定的生活。为什么？打从心里最直接最真诚的一个想法就是：人只要知足就是稳定。因为从以前第一天来到这个世界，那是手空空的，尽管限期到了，要走了，我们也必须手空空的离开。人类自早期就被安排好，拟定好。因此，现有的世界，纯粹是一个考验的世界。我们还有另一个真正的世界在等待我们。可是在还未踏上另一个世界的土地之前，上天安排了人类来到现有的世界，要我们学习：什么是爱，钱该怎么花，什么是快乐，又要如何感受悲伤，要我们的人生学习一个抉择。这就是一个考验。经不起的就放弃人生，原以为可以就这样放弃。但是孰知，这个过程还是会被重新安排，再来一次。因为，这的确是必经之路呀！人呀！不要在盲目了，茫然的生活只是一个考验。只要给自己一个时间，再想想，很快您就可以从原点重心出发，又是一个希望的明天呢！所以我们应该以当下简单的心情去体会人生每一个过程：－爱你所爱，没有可不可以，没有能不能，只有你自己决定要不要。
