"Crisis pushes people into joblessness, unemployment, and it's only during those times when everything has been stripped away a human can hear the feelings and meaning in their own life. They can do self-work without all of the distractions, fears, and beeps and emails and everything else that just swarms it out. At the end of the day, being unemployed or jobless doesn't mean that you are useless. Just because you don't have utility doesn't mean that you are meaningless. It's not a binary choice. You can have a meaningful life, and you don't have to be a Buddhist monk that has thrown away all worldly possessions and all jobs." - Jeremy Au
"If you're somebody who’s unemployed or jobless, my simple fact is your life has a meaning that is independent of your job and independent of your worth to other people. The question that you have to ask yourself is, what is your mission? What are your values? Who do you care about? Do you care about your family and providing a living for them? That's your mission. That's your meaning in life." - Jeremy Au
"To have a meaningful life means that you value yourself. You value yourself because you believe in something greater than yourself, whether that's family, country, community, cause, mission, or faith. A job is an independent concept of work that will exist whether you fill it or not. Your utility, your usefulness is determined by your worth or value to others, and your meaningfulness is how much you value your own life, your own values." - Jeremy Au
