Today was the last ME lesson with miss wong. she showed us 2 slides with pictures showing her volunteery community work in backward villages in Yunnan and nepal. It set me into thinking if i should consider my purpose in life. what is it exactly??? definitely not in academic achievements but the way i use my time right now, it seems like everything is revolved around studies. i really wish to live a life in helping others but why must economic considerations be always taken into consideration? dreams do not always fit in with reality, if u continue insisting on it then i think the ending would probably be the same as 孔乙己that i studied in cl'a'. though i would very much like to go deeper into my thinking of this impt qns, once again econs test was looming around the corner and i had to get back to studying again. Is all my sacrifice for a levels worth it, i do not noe, i can say i am blinding following what the society deems fit for a 17 years old youth. only now do i understand why many change their direction in life when they had already spent years of youth in the course of pursuing their perceived 'ambition' and found out that it is actually nothing at all. At the end of the day its still ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Who cares if u contributed to employment rate or economic growth of singapore, theres no purpose in the continual pursue of higher material living. shouldn't ppl spend more time in making difference to lives of the needy. What is life exactly? i do not noe
