Too crazy to return?

SINGAPORE is seeing more layoff in the second quarter report. It is downward trend since last year second half. But MOM said they are seeing more new job creation in city state, especially in service sector. In brief, about 3% of Singaporean and PR are currently unemployed according to data finding. If say so, we are lucky to maintain our current jobs with a fair salaries. My wife and I are so far okay at our respective jobs. We are collectively earning about 4.8 million in our local currency which is almost impossible to get if we are working at homeland. No wonder, our family members and relatives urging us to stay here so long as our jobs are okay because our daughter is still very young. 

Our target to return home is before she goes to school which is 3 years away from now. As a buddhist, we are trained to content with what we have in hand. For young professionals back home, working abroad is a dream. After working abroad for a decade time, life perspective has been changed through works and environment. We got to scarify our current life comfort if we appreciate family lifestyle. On the other hand, we cannot become bosses if we keep work for others. We can easily become middle class family if we keep working abroad. It is up to us to choose the way. Life is finally short and we are already mid of our lifespan. If we think of dhamma way, our chasing to money without doing good deeds is stupid enough. Some would say we are crazy to return home amid messy politic and shaky environment. Then, when is the optimum time to return home? Nobody knows it exactly. It is easier said than done and here to return home is no exceptional. We have to courage enough to do so. Hopefully we may have a suitable way to return home in confident soonest possible.
