Living with a deep awareness of life's impermanence and daily choices can enhance personal fulfillment. Unlike the soul-crushing monotony many face in corporate jobs, where loyalty can lead to sudden abandonment, a life of survival demands clear purpose and direct action. The contrast reveals that a simplified existence, centered on immediate needs, fosters a more meaningful existence. It underscores the importance of recognizing our finite time and the need to stay attuned to what truly matters, challenging us to seek out purpose rather than becoming complacent in the daily grind.
