living my dull life in a colourful world**
if one day i just died.
i don't want any tears. i want smiles. i don't want regrets. but to cherish.
nobody knows for sure what will happen. be it gd or bad.
that's life.
a few days back i was having lunchie with my colleagues and we as usual we talked about Buddhism over lunch. Just want to share this story with all those who happens to chance upon my blog..
One day, there was a woman who refused to believe that her child had died. Upon hearing that Buddha was around the area and would be passing by her area, she anxiously brought her child in front of the Buddha and wailed. She wanted Buddha to help to revive her boy. Buddha agreed, but on one condition - to find (mustard i think) from a house where no death had occured. She thought, 'ah, easy!' So eagerly she went knocking door by door to ask for mustard but to her great disappointment, there was no one house where no death had occured. Suddenly, she was enlightened that death is nothing but just a part of life.
There are always two sides to a coin. Gd/bad, just as it is with life and death. Why should we be so fearful of death? Just because we aren't aware of what lies on 'the OTHER side'? Or that we cling on to the material things in our living days that we find it just so hard to detach from all these relationships, money, etc.. Perhaps many forgot that we came into this world with nothing at all, hence isn't it logical to leave with nothing at all?
Emotional heartpain is inavoidable.. but don't let that affect you for too long. Life still goes on. Time and tide waits for no man.. Don't regret what you shouldn't have done or what you hadn't done enough.. Instead, cherish what has been done and let it be a motivation to treat your living loved ones better.. c-h-e-r-i-s-h
If i died suddenly.. perhaps i would be lost but i hope i would be able to put down everything and just leave peacefully to a world without pain and sufferings, without heartaches and disappointments, without disasters, without arguments and distrust.. This world's just too harsh.. too selfish, too practical and materialistic.. I hope i can leave with a smile on my face.. don't miss me.. for nothing's indefinite anyway.. (:
That's life.
that's life.. but i don't know why my tears keep falling...
