Let's face it -- I hate my job. It's a means to an end, and now the end is looking dimmer by the day. There's really no point having an end full of materialistic joy in momentous nature -- all the communications that distance people and entertainments that distort reality.
I've meant to do some good, something really mean something to this world or the existence of life. Anything that entices or augments self satisfaction is just aggravating self-centeredness. I've known by now, as I'd known once upon a time, that joy to others is joy to real existence. Giving monetary donation of sort is just a dirty trick of telling myself, there, I've done my share to give back to society.
Granted, indirectly through our daily lives we've helped someone -- colleagues, friends, neighbours, kins -- to have improved their lives and others'. Yet, this is no salvation for me.
I need to do some thing meaning, maybe some charity work with sweat, maybe something with young or elderly. Periodical schedule seems better. Practical suggestions are greatly appreciated.
It's at this point of my life I think, if I've not done anything meaningful, there's no meaning in my existence. Let the outside world perish, let the world within us prosper.

突然寫英文，讓我對用什麼語文留言感到遲疑。
不同階段不同煩惱。你會煩這個，也說明了你已經想從獨善其身的階段走出來。
想兼利天下，也許可以考慮參與政治活動。我有個同事目前正在砂拉越那裡助選。
相當義工，可以考慮慈善團體如慈濟。想定期捐款，可參與世界宣明會的領養兒童活動。不定期捐款就乾脆捐錢給我們的母校吧，只可惜不能扣稅。
中年危機！開始想到底人生的意義是什麼了。找到自己活下去的意義很重要，如果你有了孩子，就算找到了。
lets save the poor ppl in da world~
d;))
@tt, as stated, donation is no salvation to me. Chiji is being considered. Politics is no answer.
@surface, child-having/raising for meaning of life is shallow to me. It does move the focus from self to the kids but sorry, i'm not a kid person. In fact I think having kids has higher chance of aggravating pollution to the world and hence end of human race (unless ur kids became the messiah who invented pollution reversal technology). Adoption is better idea (since they are already here) but for Chinese, can you accept it? Can your parents accept it?
@Singyer, yea, save the poor, with heart and sweat ;)
Heard of this organisation while in Newcastle Uni last time. See if you like it?
