Many things are not related, human just wanna connect them.

Quite some time back, I wrote " The Sequence is Not Importan t". The sequence is not important, the end results are or is it? as the end result has been pre-determined, thus the sequence is not important. Recently, I saw another trend. Most or many things that happened are not related, we liked to connect them and give them a reasoning. Is that to comfort ourself? e.g. We need to work to prove that we are useful to society. Err. I think I work for that $$$.  Look at it another way. If you are not working, are you a society pest? Almost all my frens thought that we cannot don't work.  If not, we are wasting our lives. If not, we will become senile. If not, we no longer have relevant skills when we wanted to go back to workforce.

Should I go for the regular 9x5 job or start working as freelance (contract basis) or part-time (with short work hours)?  After a long 5-years working with current company as a regular employee, I decided that enough is enough. The mental tiredness is simply not worth the health risk. I didn't plan for the next job but wanted to take a break. Is it worth the risk of not having a next job before resigning? I don't have the answer for you, I need my time more than the work now.  I actually pre-empted my company way before my resignation, requesting them to quickly hire staff for me to handover but it seems that no action was taken unless you really resigned.  They are proposing that I stay to help in the transition and work on a packag
