living to survive...

weekends have come and gone :(
time seems to be passing faster each time.

There's a saying that once you hit 20, time will fly very fast and before you know it, years might have gone by.

nowadays, my time is spent more wisely than b4. doing loads of stuff. in the past, I'd just let time fly by slacking at home. but yet, whatever I'm doing now is nothing memorable. just plain routine. and this is probably the thing that many has been sucked into without even realising it.

Everyday feels the same and we just go through it without really sitting down to think what we're doing and the purpose of it. for Singaporeans especially, all we do is work and work. get our pay, use it to clear bills and work more. and the worse part is, we don't even get to enjoy the fruit of our labour! it's like, we're living just to survive.

I like this saying found in Ecclesiastes, a book written by King Solomon, also known as the wisest man:
Yet when I had surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.....
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work.

I'll take King Solomon's advice and learn not to live life like a routine. cause it's meaningless. i choose to live life for God and to serve Him all my days rather than to be caught up in the systems of this world. I've found true purpose in doing so... :D
