Death

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:25

One of the thing I notice from working in the pharmacy industry is that majority of the people are afraid of death or avoid death. People treat birth as a joyous event and death as a dismal occasion.

In my perspective, death is something that all of us need to celebrate and rejoice. We should have the same attitude for death and birth, birth and death only happen once in our earthly lifetime. Birth is the event when a being start their journey (the joy and the suffering), death is the event when a being stop, rest, and return to the almighty as a winner or loser.

During this Coronavirus outbreak 2020, people are desperately practicing hygiene suddenly. They care so much for they own wellbeing with little care of other. Currently, the number one selling items at the pharmacies are antibacterials, hand sanitizer, alcohol, and masks. One person will buy the whole masks, sanitizer and wipes even though the store has put limit on the items a person can buy. 

I don't understand why people want to prolong their life on earth. The earth is a beautiful place but not that beautiful for us to fight the death at the expense of other beings, and not that beautiful for us to blub and try to hold on so hard to a dying person. So let's us rejoice the deaths as we rejoice the newborns.

For what is life? To me, it is Christ. Death, then, will bring more. 
Phillipians 1:21

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Character vs Skills

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” –Confucius “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” –Theodore Roosevelt "Hire character.  Train skill.” –Peter Schutz Have you ever notice how the recruitment process being done nowadays? The first screening is the employer will judging you from your resume, cover letter and GPA The second screening is they will test your employability skills The next test is group interview and the last test is direct interview with the vendor Through this process, skills definitely come first before the character and ethic. Character and ethics become the last or non existent factors to be considered in. No wonder people are so critical and cut throat at work or at school to be recognised for their skills. And we are wonder how the society become so corrupted?  Hiring competent people with corrupted morale will only bring damage to the society. Low morale people...
