Singapore time: 2.45 pm 30th Apr 2007
This is what Lim Boon Heng said today in the ST report.
How long are we to work to save for old age ? 55 or 62 years old ? We are human beings not animals. Our purpose in coming into this world is to have a decent life and wait for death to come. This is Nature, till the Salvation comes to bring us back.
Life is not about money. It is the quality of life that we lead, that is more important. If we just eat porridge with salted egg and bean sprouts for a meal, that is enough for us to survive. Why must we go for shark fins, abalone, fish, chicken, duck, pork, mutton, beef etc. Is eating these make our life more enjoyable and pleasurable to live ?
My advice is for you to have some money and when you reach 55 years of age, go vegetarian and retire for self cultivation. Self cultivation is for self, for family and the country. Don't think you cultivate is only for yourself. If you have a wife and children, your cultivation will affect them. You can change them for the better without taking any action, just cultivate self.
PAP government want Singaporeans to work, work and work, so the GDP can be higher. They don't care about your health if you have to work 12 hours a day. What they care is that you make more money for the country, ask you to upgrade your house, purchase more new gadgets for your home etc. They value you by how much you are worth, not the quality of life you lead. This is materialism worship.
Try to be yourself. Don't let others pull you by your nose.
