Talk is cheap, it is not easy

Talk is cheap, things are not that easy, wrote one of my friend in her facebook. Yes,  nobody is saying that life is easy. We have to admit that life is difficult and that is why we need to train and manage our mind and ourself.  That is why, we acquire knowledge and wisdom to make our life easier and more plreasnt in our journey through this transit dimension.

I remember of a very good article and I would like to delicate to this friend of mine.  It is about this research fellow who is doing a thesis on butterfly.  He was observing that the birth of the butterfly from a larva to a young butterfly.  Before the butterfly come out of the cocoon, the larva went through a very tedious process of squeezing through a tiny conduit from one chamber to another. The process took a long time and it looks very painful.  So, the research fellow was wondering why is nature so cruel and he decided to speed up the process and cut the conduit wider , sothe c that the larva came speed up the process and come out of the cocoon.  Yes, the butterfuly came out of the cocoon as usual and looks extremely beautiful like it was as the same previous process. But , the butterfly cannot fly.  Nature have create it in such way, that the narrow conduit is needed to drag all the liquid from the wings of the butterfly and straighten the wings to make it strong before the wings can fly. There is a reason for everything.

Similarly, human needs to go through bitterness and pain before they get stronger and become more appreciative of their effort and life.  If everybody is born with a silver spoon in their mouth, then what happen to this world, it will be full of weaklings.  LIke a champion boxer or a kungful fighter, they have to endure blood , sweat and tears to become a champion. There is no short cut.  In this tedious and painful profess, there is where we need to learn to rwe will telax, enjoy and strengthen ourself , otherwise, we will burn out very fast.  So, talking is a way to remind and inspire others and ourself , the need to endure and strength our body, mind and spirit.

Like I say, life is difficult. There are so many things to do at the same time . At times, it is so suffocating and madness. Yes, if you pull together a bunch of chopstick and try to break all the chopsticks at once, it will be very difficult and tough. But, if you separate the chopstick one by one, it will be so much more easier to break. We have to train our mind to be aware and be focus. Take a step at a time and a thousand mile journey will soon be completed.  There is a famous chnese saying " if we can eat the bitterness of the bitter , we will be the man above men".

There is another chinese saying "All of us can eat at the same table but we have to seek wisdom separately ".  This means that all of us have our own way of learning and achieving wisdom. There is an art of living but yet we live differently to achieve wisdom. Nobody's expectation is the same and all of us re-ac differently to different triggers.
