The other day I heard a talk from a certain Mr. AB about how passionate he was about his life. This made me think about an average human. Here's how an average human spends his 24 hours of the day-
8 hours sleep
3 hours personal time
3 hours socialising ( includes food n timepass)
10 hours of work
So we know that a major part of our day, our month,our year ,our life is spent WORKING !!
We have an opinion, a choice in everything we do, be it to buy clothes, build a home, choosing a holiday destination but in work ? Do we really decide what , where and how we want to work ? Do we choose our work ? People might say work is a necessity . True, but for what ? A necessity to earn a living - food , shelter and ? Is only physical well being a necessity ? What about mental well being and peace ?
It is a hard-proven fact that most battles are fought and won on a mental level. In fact even physical disabilities are overcome by mental perseverance. Humankind places the mind over everything else. But at the end of the day, one does not WORK for its well-being ! It's ironical !
The society has conditioned us to work for our existence not for our living. For, if we were working for our living , would'nt we approach each day with zest and bubbling exuberance? If we were working for our living, each day our mind would buzz with an amazing expectancy for yet another beautiful day of mind-boggling deadlines, deals and a heap of mounting work which we love to do !
At the end of the day one should remember, "The essence of existence is living." LIVE LIFE KING SIZE!
