why live?

i quoted an anonymous from:


http://www.temasekreview.com/2011/07/19/ex-singaporean-in-australia-act-fast-if-you-want-to-emigrate/


is this what living is all about? ermm, but why Australia?


"Well said! Singaporeans are obsessed with branded clothes, branded cars, branded sounding names for condos. In short, many Singaporeans have been brainwashed by the Fapayas’ ‘cheaper betterer faster’ ideology and the equally nonsensical ‘upgrading’ mentality (upgrade from 4-room flat to condo, enslave oneself for another 30 yrs of debt, plenty of daft ones out there doing this, which says it all).

I would think the writer’s point of view is fantastic – a place like Australia gives a person FULL SPACE to develop as an INDIVIDUAL. not to just function as machines and just work for the money. We do need to discover our passions, look more at ourselves instead of what defining ourselves based on what others HAVE, and most importantly, ask ourselves what LIVING is all about."
