Never ending Struggle of Job Vs Family

almost 2 years ago

Hi, beautiful people of Hive. This is me again after a long time.

For the past couple of months, I have been very busy with my new job. Free time is a blessing now. I started working in a city away far from my maniacally it has bis been a struggle so far. Why struggle you may ask.

Well, I sat down after so long and questioned everything I am doing. I haven't been talking to any friends the way I used to, and the frequency of phone calls and messages with my Mom is reducing per day. All because of some Job that is supposed to improve my standard of living?

I want to ask how wearing slightly expensive clothes and eating expensive meals is in any way comparable to the sacrifice one has to make to his inner peace and happiness? How come a meal cooked with love from your mother is in any way better than exotic cuisines?

How did we come to this point where we just think in terms of finance all the time. Why not think about the basic form of currency, the currency of love and caring, the currency of valuable time with your loved ones. How do we fix this? Is it our education system which is manufacturing just robots?

I have decided to resign from my current position and look for a better job, better not in terms of money but a job that can provide me with a good balance in life. I don't want to spend my prime years working maniacally and then regretting later in life. You can change your job but can't change your family. Time lost is never gonna come back to you.

I could be regretting this decision later but at least I think I am going towards a position goal. Results are not always in our hands but the process is what defines us.
