The working world absorbs all the energy in a person living him feeling as if he is squeezed dry. My only excuse would be work. I've been so tied up I refuse to let any of my impending emotions get in between.
All these societal ideals to how a person should survive in this world makes Mimin a very stressed up person.
Back during the last few months before I ended my time in performing National Service, my men were scurrying to find jobs. I hadn't the slightest idea of the phenomenon manifesting before me. Every single one of my men suddenly had the interest in Newspapers and occasionally the commanders had to take on a case of the missing classified's section.
They were so engrossed in searching fora job, it became the main topic during breakfast, lunch and dinner sessions. Sometimes commanders would have had a hard time accounting strength because we had men booking out for interviews for their prospective jobs.
I believe I must have been too pampered because I felt I didn't need a job and my savings was enough to keep me alive till February.But I thought wrong. When you are twenty-two after National Service, asking your parents for money is a definite no no. So I learn.
I mean come on, after all the military training and lessons in growing up, you should know better than depend on your parents.
The savings slowly depleted and decreased in digits. From a healthy 4 digit now I am left with a measly 2 digit number.
I guess we will only understand the needs of others when we desperately need the needs. And I will say it here, unashamed, that I am in need of money. I should have searched for a job way earlier and I did not take my bank account for granted.
Yesterday, a short meet up with three of my men made me realise how settled they are knowing that at least with a job, they are happy to know that money do come in at the end of the month.
With a diploma I can do more. And yet, I took it for granted. Lesson learnt...
Talking about digits, I am only left with 98 days before I embark on my new journey...
