What is life actually???
This is one of the questions most people got no answer.
If you googgle it, the answer you will most probably get is:

Life (cf. biota) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes ("alive," "living"), from those which do not —either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as "inanimate.
But that is a very technical answer of life.
What I'm asking is of the spiritual form.
What or how we should do in our whole lifetime to avoid having any regrets
when on our deathbed?
  • Some measurable success in your career
  • High education
  • group of filial children
  • Do as much good as possible to benefit all people
  • Help as many people/animals as you can
  • Play as hard as you can so this life won't be wasted
And what's more?

I believe if you ask the people around you, each one will give you a different answer.
But the most probable answer you might get is 'I don't know'.

That's what I got when I spoke with the closest people in my life.
We're like an Olympic athletes training for the big event.
When is the big event? The day you die.
How long do we have to train? The whole lifetime.
Make sure you train well!
Sis told me that.
This was quoted from a Tibetan Lama, according to her.

We're all born to suffer because of our bad karma.
If you have no heavy sins, you would not be born here
but in other (better) realms enjoying the fruits of your good karma.
Mum said this to me.
The good and bad karma here are referring to
those you have accumulated in your past lives.
I believe what she said.
Some things don't just happen like this.
There must be some higher power up there controlling things.
And I believe it is the Power of Karma.

Some other answers I got is like:
  • Just do whatever you want/you like, follow your heart. You just live once. Don't do anything that will make you regret.
But that sounds like rashness to me.
Don't they know that regrets are mostly born out of rashness?


My thoughts:

Career and family, which should come first?
If i spent most of my time in my career,
would I regret next time that I didn't spend enough time with my kids?

If the situation reverse, would I regret too?

No career = No money.
Which in turn also means that I wouldn't be able to give my kids what they want.

But if I put my career first, it would means lesser time spent with my kids
which may cause my kids to be problematic teenagers next time.

What is the correct choice?

Profile

I'm a simple person who dislike complicated things.
I like to take life easy,
but that seems to defy the force of nature.
So here I am, struggling day after day,
trying to make life easier for me & my love ones.

I try to love everyone around me
But I am no saint.
I'm working hard on it.
I love my family.
I love everything I have.

I am extremely stubborn.
I am very mood-swing
And I do things according to my own wish

If you think you know me, read my blog and think again.

I'm imperfect and I'm Lovin' It.

I'm the only witness and the only person who can judge my life.
This is my blog so Click here if you hate it.

Quote of the Day

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
