What are the things in life that is worth dying for?

Just had a good sunday morning ride and breakfast with a good friend.

.

I was commenting that it is sad that alot of people get their sense of identity and self-worth from their jobs. Many people treated their jobs as their lives and invested everything into it. And when they were retrenched, many of them (especially the guys) sank into depression and lost their self-esteem.

.

It is very sad that people derived their self-worth/self-esteem from their work.

Even if you are retrenched, you are still the same person, just having more free time only!!

.

Last year, DBS Bank retrenched for the first time. Another good friend (who worked in the DBS) shared with me that one of his colleagues was retrenched - even though she had been in the bank for 20+ years, and gave her youth and energy to the company, but one week after she had left, all her records were erased from the company's intranet.

Nobody will remember how well you have done in your work.

When you die, nobody is going to say how great you have done at work, or how much sales have you closed, etc... Colleagues and company will eventually forget you.

.

Family and Friends won't.

Those who you have touched their lives won't.

.

So What are the things in life that is worth dying for?

.

Hope i set you thinking.

I am asking myself the same question too.
