Mediocrity

In my prime of manhood, I start to think of the other side of the world. Let say, tomorrow is my last breathing day, am I contented with my living days? Am I going to die peacefully like most old, pious folks whom had their shot on remorse?

Death, as we all know, is as close to life. And it is also as natural as life. I find it's superficial for those people who is reluctant towards death, and that flock of people include me as well. We are so afraid at the the sight of death. But why?

In most religions on the planet, we hold to the creed that there's another life after death. Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and even pantheist believe so. They say that life after death is more endearing and full of sparks and delight. Everything was under the Blessing of God. Living an eternal life in heaven as endless, is unearthly tantalizing.

But the law of balance says when there's good, there's evil too. Hell is for those people who committed vice and crimes and etc. Here resides the badasses of the world whom in their life was against the Light. And now the punishment is unimaginably unbearable, like being shot dead and resurrected to be shot again. Or immersed in a basin of acid or electrocuted for dozens of years.

The story of the Hereafter, is unquestioningly horrifying and is a sore subject to most. When I hear people around me discuss about the repercussions and the Judgement Day, I will repel myself, so that those thoughts will not consume me.

For some, preaching on Hell, Fire and Wrath won't serve as a torch towards the good. I believe we all know it better, but reminding about the positive things in heaven may enlighten the sincere inklings in the heart, because it is purely devotion, not a half-hearted resolution to prevent the Fire.

For death is on the verge, I start believing in the idea of mediocrity. For start, I don't want to buy Macbook as most of my peers suggest. It's a waste of money, and I'm not used to extreme wealth, and I don't fancy that idea much. I think I'm just cool with a regular laptop, I'm not an electronic-device freak. I don't even know how a Blackberry operates. Sorry boys, I have another plan.

And second, I don't plan to build a huge nest of money. In fact, money is another form of greed and inhumanity. Don't you find people with dozens of maximum bank accounts are dirty-rich? And how many people suffer because of money issue? Money, as many say, is another instrumental of Evil, a trap into the hole of Hell.

I just want to live peacefully, with a little sum of money, a car that will fit a bunch of kins, and a house with lots of love and warmth. Because, when you are away from worldly pleasures, you are closer to yourself, close friends and family. And seeking yourself is way more challenging and seeking money.

a happy family

Money, or sustenance, is from God, and to Him we ask, and to Him we return, and to Him we love and share love with. Because love is Him.

Cheers.   : )
