Work

I remember the last few times I went to my Grandma's house in Kluang, there was this particular incident that happened.

Now Grandma was already reaching 80 and she had begun showing signs of severe forgetfulness. So naturally her children, also my uncles and aunts, had also begun preparing for the worst that could happen. They take turns to take care after her, made sure she does not wander around too much, did her cooking, cleaned her house and such.

My Grandma rejected all that. Her reply was simply,"If you do all the work, what the hell am I supposed to do? (Well, she didn't really cuss, I just wanted to project her feelings into the statement) I cannot just sit and do nothing, I have to do some work!"

An 80 year old woman, craving for work. For the sake of doing something with her time and energy.

In comparison, the ideal life of the modern man nowadays is having lots and lots of money without moving an inch of muscle, while watching football or porn.

Times has definitely changed.
