It seems like in today's society, the majority only goes for materials. They slog for it. People are being measured by the amount they earn, the house they stay and the car they drive. Its time to understand that life is not all about materials. There should be emphasis on upbringing and family values because these are the people who will truly stand by you when you are down. So stop neglecting your loved ones because of your busy work schedules and busy earning money just to sustain the wants in life. What is enough? Where is your level of contentment? It's never too late to get a life!

sad to say it may be caused by the society itself.

WHO is to determine that everyone must own a house? ownership of a house is proud? Are houses really assets? Why is everybody programmed to think that setting up a family or getting married must have a house, followed by a car, followed by upgrading of both? Has anyone reaIised that its a waste of life just to slog your life away for all these? Is it really necessary to pay through our noses till we are at our death beds? Examine the lifestyle of other countries and you will understand that the values inculcated in them is so different. Because of that, they have time to themselves to analyse. Spending time with ourselves is very important. How many Singaporeans get to do that? Why not? Only when you have the time, then you can be creative. Advocating creativity into Singaporeans is of no use because creativity has to come from within and not force, which is why many a times we are just facilitators at work and not researchers. Again having time to oneself is the essence. Think hard.

There is a very fine line drawn between a house and a home with warmth.

I do agree with you tt today's society had changed from the last time. Nowadays ppl really loved to compared with each other on everything. When they see their friends living in a more expensive house than them, they get jealous. they will never think tt money or materialistics is enough for them. They are never content with waht they have now.
Personally, I feel it is the kiasuism tt had developed in our minds. We don't want others to brand us as a failure, so wetry very hard to have all those materialistic just to show off. People forget the family values or giving the wrong values to our next generation and as a result of these, those kids in schools also follow our footsteps.
If things don't improve, we will find tt the future will be worst than now.

your points are morally correct and cant be argued with but at the same time coming from someone sitting down writing this question on your 600 dollar computer probably on your 100 dollar computer desk. the fact is possessions are necessary. unless you just want the necessities, therefore go get a jacket a box and a swiss army knife and go sleep on the streets. there is an emphasis on upbringing and family values, those are the people you call your friends, all the others you either dont know or dont like. people are rewarded financially for having certain talents or smarts and for the rest of us we have to get by by working hard, enough is the point that you reach in your own life when you can look around at yourself everything you have and the life that you live and be happy
