When the Alarm Clock Feels Like a Verdict
Picture yourself on Sunday evening, that sinking feeling creeping in as Monday looms. Is that dread about your job, or something deeper-a question about whether the life you're building is the one you actually want? This isn't just career anxiety; it's an existential crisis playing out in millions of lives simultaneously. After the Great Resignation shook the foundations of how we think about work, we're left with a more fundamental question: not just whether to stay or go, but whether our work is genuinely worth the finite hours of life we're trading for it. Consider Wong Jun-Chow, a Chinese general who fled to Brazil in 1949, failed in business, yet continued "working" unpaid into old age-sharing wisdom and Confucian values with his family. His story reveals something crucial: work isn't just what pays the bills. It's purposeful, effortful, and recognized by society-though each element contains contradictions that make defining "worthy work" far more complex than it appears.
