The room at the top of the stairs

It is the name of a beautiful love song and in one part, it is a stairways to heaven as the room is used as a lover's hunt and why it is heaven because the feeling is great and it is like floating in heaven. Sorry to be frank as I believe we should be open and be accepting as well.

Well, this room I talking about is a room at my sister's house which once belongs to my eldest brother. He have passed away from many years ago due a heart attack. Since, my sister-in-law moved out on her own after buying her own house, it has be vacant. Many times, the room was offered to my youngest sister or our guest but it was turned down because it was occupied by a dead man before. There is a lot of stigma which is linked to room and it was turned into a store room. Why are people so scare to live in the room? Do they think that the spirit is still occupying the room ? Or it will bring bad luck to stay in the room? It is so silly but such belief have already become our mental habits because since young, we are influence by books, stories and movies linking negative things to the dead. But, if we do not know ,what had happen,it would be okay. How sure are we that we are not using things which have been owned or used by the dead? Do we need ot get a "a special machine " to test the things we used? Well, it would be just like the movies.

In Asian cultures, people are so superstitous as we are so god and devil fearing. It is just so rediculously silly. I have seen people who is so scare of touching coffin or look the face of dead people when they are place in the coffin. They see these things a bad lucks and touching it will bring them bad luck. These people is so lack in confidence that they depend on luck to live in this world. I don't mean to offend anyone but I would like to ask the readers to be logical and have more self confident instead of forming thier opinion from based on self imposed fear or influence by our friends, peers and parent. Lets live in world free of fear and make each moment real and good.

Namaste.
