Well, to be honest.
We tend to be afraid, worried or fearful of something. Because we do not understand how things truly work in life.
I’d say and Confucius have said, “Life is simple but we tend/insist to make it complicated”.
We were never in control of the circumstances and scenarios in life. So, why worry? Just make do with whatever you have with whatever you can do at the moment. No matter what happens, like you said, life goes on.
And in terms of a relationship, it is okay to depend on one another but even when we are separated from our partners, both must learn to stand on their own. An advice I found from a magazine, a romantic relationship must be like two trees, connected with a branch. Not hogging/hugging each other at once. There must be a balance of interdependence and independence. Now showing off here, I’ve had rough times in my past relationships, I had to move on with them gone, no matter what.
Nothing is perfect nor absolute, we just make do and get by.
The journey may not be easy but it will be worthwhile for those who dare to make it worthwhile.
Either way, I wish you all the best with whatever obstacles that you are facing, along with your loved ones.
January 28, 2016 at 7:27 pm #94142Yean ThoongParticipantI have many pals who believed my legacy from impacting many lives, will be continued by my kin.
I would rather not burden that idea onto my future kin or loved ones. Their life is their own ‘legacy’ (whatever they want to do with it).
Personally, I do not really bother about the idea of it at first. Because to me, I am only being compassionate because I know what it is like to not receive it from the bullies in my past.
Seeing laughter, smiles and the emittance of joy of those who I have helped, fills me with joy and for some who told me, I gave them hope (that itself, encouraged me to continue doing so).
But as time goes by, it is true that whatever we do will be forgotten someday.
For the most part to me, it is, what kind of impact you have left on the hearts of those whom you have met and have interacted with.
I suppose my legacy is being as another living proof as a really, really compassionate person towards all kinds of life: fellow humans, animals, plants and spirits.
Although, I am not perfect, at least I am helping others out more than condemning others and causing trouble.
I hope that my research and archiving of our potentials and capabilities of human beings, will prove useful to those who have forgotten our natural capability to continuously evolve (physically, mentally and spiritually).
Along with information on our brethren from the spiritual realm, in which many of our ancestors (not forefathers) have made contact with them, interacted and worked with them.
Along with the archives of mythical and legendary beings and creatures that used to be among us. This info will help to remind and rekindle the fire (of living passionately and glee) in many lives. My heart and soul was brought back to live and joy when I found out the European dragon I saw as a kid, was not of my imagination. I then discussed this with my close friend after a very long while since I last saw him, he too happily and excitedly squealed along with me when he told me that he saw a white dragon in the sky when he was working oversea.
I dare say, there is more to this World and this Universe, than any of us can even imagine.
We think we know everything, but that is not the case. When we are presented with new experiences and meetings, will one stay in their comfort zones and stick to their cognitive dissonance?
Or learn to embrace the new and moving on from the old ways of thinking and doing?
Additionally, I am also very proud to say that I am not the only one who is doing this little project.
Well, I suppose I hope to inspire others to dare.
Dare to adventure (explore), dare to love, dare to live, dare to challenge oneself, dare to evolve (improve) oneself, dare to learn (from mistakes), dare to investigate (be curious and discover), dare to embrace one’s strengths, dare to admit one’s mistakes, fears and darkness (only then we can move on to the next step, dealing with it), etc.
For the moment we do these things, only then we can give it or spread it to another.
Ah boy, I must have blabbered away again… XD
Anyway, I don’t think about it so much but whatever I am going to do, it will not only impact my life, it is bound to impact the lives of others too.
I will live true to myself and through pleasurable and painful experiences now and ahead of me.
I do not bother if I am forgotten, I care the most about the well-being of those who are receiving my help, assistance or company.
And I am very thankful that, that itself was being given back to me when I least expect it. That inspired to me continue my little adventure and journey.
I’d say, thanks for taking the time to start this forum/discussion.
