People tend not to feel lost in singspore because they work hard to earn money which they spend on entertainment to keep their lives seemingly full. Live life to the fullest or carpe diem; something that has been said so very often.
Over here in Jakarta, I see teenagers sitting by the street watching traffic go by, I see people working really hard to make ends meet, I see people working very hard but not getting any money to make ends meet. I see many teenagers gathering at the square one day. It is no wonder if they are resigned to feel they are brought into this world to try to find means to survive. It's really quite sad isn't it?
For these Indonesians, life becomes less meaningful and those who find life meaningful find them in things like love and family. I figured that some of them would also be more dependant on God having been forced to humility.
It's easy to find God when one had nothing but it's more difficult to find Him when one possesses more things. I guess tyr lesson is that God always gives us what is best for us. Thsts why the bible says that contentment is great gain. Lord, teach me to be content with what you have provided for me. Amen.
