得失何所求

人生在世,有时因身在俗世而,身不由已,因而随波逐流。事事视人家的意见而决定自已的立场。因而失去自已。悲乎。

有人终日四处劳碌,为三餐而忙之外,还多方寻求更多的钱。因为他们认为只要有钱,他们便拥有快乐。谁知他们日夜在外,忽略了家庭温情,因而使儿女缺乏教养,最终成了社会的垃圾。到时后悔莫及矣!

人的一生,到底是在追求什么呢?

正如一些在第三世界做义工的人,所感触到的一般,他们见证了那一群生活在水深火热的环境中,始终乐在心中,喜在面上!为何?皆为他们深知生活之道!

其实,如果我们回到生活的本质,除却额外的虚荣,生活是相当优游自在的呵!

When old friends meet

It was at the 20th anniversary Dinner, when all the old friends met. I had been with the organization for more than 15 years. There were thousands of people went passed me through this organization. That particular night, i.e. the 20th Anniversary Dinner Night; lots of these people came back to meet up with long lost friends.

I saw people neglecting the food but to go around tables and look for friends. People were cheering, screaming and hugging. Of course, lots of photo taking too. These are the happy faces. They share their past with their friends, exchanging contact number, etc.

Several young friends came up to me that night. We exchanged greetings. With a particular friend, I asked: Are you happy with your life now? She hesitated awhile and said: It could be better. I felt a bit relief with her answer. At least, she was not so unhappy with her life. They are lots of people these days, who are not unhappy with their life at all.

Come to think about this, I really wonder how many out there really like her, thinking seriously about one's own life??? There are people who lives like a piece of drift wood. They just follow the tide. Happiness to them is all but superficial.

Recently read a piece of article, regarding this issue. The author believed that you could be much more happier, if you give more than you gain from this world. But the concept of giving is not only limited to materialism. It also include spiritual giving; moral supporting.

May be we should move out of this materialistic world and re-examine our existence in this planet. Are we here to conquer, to manipulate, to impose, and to control other?

What if we do away with these constraints? Will we be happier?

I do not really know. But it is worth for us to think about it.
