Do we really live ?

Are really living or just merely passing through ?  Most of us don't really know what we want in life and flowing what other people have been doing or having must be the right thing to do in life ? People struggles for wealth , frame and sex and these achievements must be the target in our life. There was a survey done on the dying and old and sick people and they regretted what they have don't done or the risk that they have not taken.  These are the lasting regrets.

How much do we know what we really want ?  struggling for wealth at the expense of health ? It is bull shit.  At the end of the day, all the wealth is to use to cure the ill health.  Is it for frame ? No. after we die , we will be forgotten in a short time. Is it for wine , women and song ? After getting much of it , it gets bored.  Then what is it we want in life ?

If we slow down and think about it , enough is enough and contentment is everything .  We earned enough , we live well , we eat well  and we do whatever we want to do and fulfill all our desires or cravings we need.  We enjoy the things we want to do and be passionate with life.  We eat what we want to eat, we enjoy without any worries.  We expect nothing but the fulfillment of our dreams which need not much money, power and frame. We come with nothing and we go with nothing. 

But , this is not the case.  We want to compare with others.  Follow the Jones . We want a bigger house, we want a faster car,  we want relationship with as many women or man as possible.  we want more money, We want more power and we are greedy for more. But, all these are passing emotions or illusions.  The more money means more power and more power means more authority over other human beings. Like the face of the moon on the water , it is temporary and illusionary.  With a stone throw, the image is rattled and it is fake. Time will kill all images and memories.

We come into the world so free , we should live as freely as possible and going away without regrets. Everyone have the same journey, so why make it so difficult and complicated.  The start is the same, the journey is the same and the end is the same.   Why being so difficult to yourself ?

People say if we strive on the common project, we will develop the world .  Is the development necessary ? Are there other ways to live better ?  All these are subjective and personal.

Namaste.
