Work and Personal life

Seemingly, the mission life is making us someone we are not!!! If you ask me that, if I ever wanted to be the person I am, my reply would be no. But in reality that is what I have become. Not accepting it is a personal choice, but once accepted it will bring you to a “Y” Junction of life, where path will split in to two. One will lead you be the “humanitarian worker”, who ends up giving out every thing for the cause, personal life and family life would be the cost. The other might be a difficult, is to stick to you what you wanted to be and staying like that you might not get the virus of humanitarian working. Both have +ve and –ve sides. I do enjoy my work and the feeling that my work has direct impact on human lives, but I certainly do not want to become like many senior humanitarian workers, I have seen many in there old life they have done enough and close to retirement they have no family to turn to. Selfish though, but that is the way I think. Things that lead to life with no family life, I would rather resist no matter how enjoyable they are. Call me crazy, but that how I want to think.
