Remembrance

Just wanna remember someone who was dear to me this day.

I read the following somewhere to this effect.

‘When you came to this world, you were crying while everyone else around you is laughing. But when you leave this world, everyone else around you will be crying while you will be laughing’. (I think the laughing bit at the end would not be true to most people)

Have you ever thought about the day you are going to leave this world?

I do not mean to sound morbid but since there is life, there is also death. Each of us has to face it sooner or later.

I used to be very attached to things that are precious to me. They may be expensive or they may not be. Once I lost something that was of very sentimental value to me, I practically sulked for months and wished that I had not been so careless.

But I do not know when was the exact time that I found myself not to be attached to things anymore. For eg. at the end of the first quarter of this year, I dropped one of my favourite pair of earrings. I did not feel sad at all. I could let go just like that.

For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. (1 Tim. 6:7)

Do you have possessions or people you would not able to let go but when the time comes, you would not have any choice but to let go?

I had also told my family in the event something happens to me and I cease to exist anymore, I want cremation rather than burial. Have you thought about this?
