The truth about life!

We live life. Some are busy building their careers. Others worry about their families. The common habit we all do is the continuous daily planning and preparing. Some prepare to go to college. Others plan to build their dream home.

In reality, we don’t own our life. With all our stresses and struggles planning, life continues to surprise us and tell us: What do you think you are doing? What are you struggling for? Why all the tensions and worries? This is not your place. You are only a guest here. You will leave this place any time, sooner or later. So what is the point?

This doesn’t mean to live your life blindly without a plan or a direction. But it means to let go of the worries and tensions when we do our daily activities. It indicates that life is too short and precious to waste it being anxious and stressed.

I remember this incident when a family have taken many years building their dream home and the home owner passed away before getting a chance to live in his dream home. Another incident when a family travelled for a vacation, a member in the family suddenly died through a heartache and the vacation turned into an unexpected funeral.

These incidents in life tell us that although we put so much efforts into our daily activities, nothing is for sure. We don’t know how long we would stay here. We don’t know on which land our souls will be taken. We don’t know where life could take us. But the certain thing for sure is the continuity of life. That life doesn’t stop here. That our existence here has got a purpose and that life goes on after our death.
