I had an invitation for a wedding dinner yesterday. I was 50-50 mood to participate that. Suddenly I had to drive somebody for a funeral of a lady; so I decided not to go for the dinner. It was a Christian funeral well organized like English style. Most in the black suit / dresses and the coffin was handling by funeral organizers. Not only coffin, the A-Z program was handling by them. Learned from somebody that the lady's son is in New Zealand and haven't met his mother for last 5 years. Finally when he arrived, his mother's flight already took off. The person was asking me, is this must to wear black dress on a funeral day? I said, people in this country follows the western culture for everything. You can wear any descent dress, but not a bright one to attract many as the occasion is not for the joyful.
I had one invitation for a joy of union and an unplanned function of the grief. In a human life, there are 2 circles. One is the circle of life, where a human born and ends at death. Second is the family life or the union with his/her loved one and the separation. Second circle is the subset of first. It won't happen to all people's life; only for blessed ones. At one side, invited to participate the joy of his lovely moment but at other side, chose to share with their grief. For the first and ultimate circle of life, we coming from nothing and going off as like we came by leaving behind everything. But where is the real matter? Real matter is, what you have done to others, how you could change others through your life and how others can inspire your life? It's a biggest question to all people. Each human being must ask the question to themselves. A husband can inspire his wife and wife can inspire her husband. Parents can inspire their children, brother can inspire his brother / sister and so on. Inspiration is the only ultimate? No. There are many things. But this is the at least one thing we can do to others. Make your life to help others, then it will be fruitful.
I should quote a conversation in a movie clip here. In that movie, a girl, only one child to her mother, who is a widow, is working hard to make money and want to go abroad. A stranger, who accidentally meet this mother and understand that she finds joy to go around with her daughter. But her daughter doesn't have time. Finally he took her out and it was a joyful moment for that mother. When they came back, the daughter was angry with this stranger. In response, he was telling "Why are you working so hard? To make money, then go abroad, later take your mother with you and live happily, right? What if tomorrow your mother passed away? Your dreams will have an end and your mother was never joyful as you / she expected. You will be worried about your unaccomplished wish that you could do to your mother." It is an inspirational conversation and should ask ourselves the same question. When the person told me, the son came from abroad after 5 years and his lovely mother is no longer in this world, I was thinking about this. Why do we working so hard? What are we gaining? We are neither live happily or peacefully nor our loved ones. Everybody is worried about something. When you get something, you may be happy for a while. But when you see somebody else gets better than yours, you started worrying. As your time flies away, you must realize that each of your moment is a blessing from God, even this seconds breath is his mercy. We must be thankful to him for each seconds life.
When you get a job / runs own business, you works so hard to achieve something and trying to get compliments from others. For your work under a company, you gets paid and you works hard. For your own business, that for your benefit, you works hard. But remember you are employed in this world by God. What are you giving back to God? Are you working so hard to achieve the expectation set by your employer? You may shoot back a question, what am I getting? The best ever answer I can say, the breath in this second you took. When you employed at a company, you can't get a paid off for an year. But in God's enterprise, you are always off with pay. Your employer never complained on your misconduct. Have you ever thought of it? What profit you made for that enterprise?
We are running against time to gain / achieve something; for what? God given you a nice family. If the head of the family is not supplying the correct value to its members, then all are lost. If the head gives correct value and the members are not following and set their own value, then there is no mean as a family. A human value of kind, love, compassion etc are rising from a family. In the long / short run of your life from its beginning to end, keep to achieve the best value and mark it as good so others may follow. From life to death, there are lots of things we can do. Obey your employer and achieve something for him.
