Life's so unpredictable
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
It's hard to predict anything at all, especially if it has something to do with what we do with life. One day you could be young and healthy, and the next thing you know, you may end up sick and possibly dead the next day. I realised that life's too short to be taken for granted, and to be wasted away.
Sounds scary right? But being scary is what life is about. Anything is so uncertain. You could go around and say that you do not fear death, but think deep and hard: do you really not fear death, or you fear death so much that you proclaimed otherwise to make people think that you are strong?
Lord Buddha says that death is something certain; life isn't. You were born, became sick, grew old and eventually die - that's the circle of life. You can't escape that circle of life, even if you are someone great and influential.
Sounds creepy? Don't worry - I'm still very much alive :) Just needed to get this out of my mind.
