Just finished this movie at home: Click. This is suggested by a FF in Church. What an inspiring movie! After the movie and look back at my own life, I, like many others on the world, may also put too much focus on our working life. After all, what is the purpose of working? Do we not have enough to live, to eat, or to wear? Why are so many people in the world chasing for fame, chasing for something that is meaningless? I am not saying work is emptiness. For there is a purpose in life, and it is to glorify God. If our work is on the path in glorifying God, it is not a problem. But if we mixed up the means and the purpose, and make chasing for emptiness becomes our purpose, we ended up in trouble, trouble that is beyond our imagination. For after the incident in 2007, I found life's purpose: first is glorifying God, second is family and friends. Money and career, though important, should not be above these two.
Quoting from Ecclesiastes:
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. (12:13-14)
