The ironies in our life

If we slow down and re-look at life and we will know that there are alot of things not right with it. I have read many articles and a good article about life is how we spend a large part of life to earn money at the expense of our health and when we have enough , we used a large part of wealth to support our ill health. You may think that I am exeggerating but just think how expensive medication is now and how much it will increase over the years.

If we come down to the details, we will note that one heart operation cost RM50,000, eye operation cost RM12,000 or more. One MRI scan cost RM3,000 and one night in a hospital cost RM200 and it expensive than a three star hotel room in town. I believe it will become more expensive in the near future with a 10 % increase yearly.

Another irony is that we eat less to save money and become thrifty and when we are old, we eat less and selective in our eating habits  because we have to control our diet to keep good health. This is very true because I have seen how my FIL, J have been controlling his diet and in his later years, he is eating only vegetables and fish and in small quantity. Yet , he died of Cancer.  My advise to all you , readers  is to eat whenever you can eat but moderately. Don't go on a strict diet that you missed out all the good food in life.

Time is another limited factor in life. When we are young, we don't have the time for ourself and our family and when we are in our twilight years and having all the time in the world, our family members do not have the time for us as they will be busing living their lives.

This is a sad thing as even we are aware of these factors or limitations, we still not not do something about it. So awareness itself is not enough and we have to engage it and make the awarenss happen to live a meaningful and fruitful life.  Whatever passions we have or things that we want to do , we have to set ourmind to it and make it happen.  Don't let wealth and greed side track us in our pursuance of our dreams.

So, remember. Awareness is not enough..... engage your dreams and passions.

Namaste.
