Life Is Fragile, Life Is Tough - Van Dusen Garden 8175e

Life is fragile. I have heard the story of a person diagnosed with cancer and passed away in a month’s time.

 

Yet life is strong and tough. Many living beings survive in tough conditions.

 

It looks contradicting. The lesson is like what is being said in Buddhist teachings.

 

There is no constancy in life. There is no norm or constant rule in the world.

 

Don’t ever think these norms are always happening.

 

When you work hard, you will be rewarded.

When you study hard, you will get high grades.

When you make great arts, you will be recognized as a great artist.

When you love, you will be loved.

 

Some people say we should live like life ends tomorrow.

 

Do what you want to do before it is too late. May be this is a hug to yourself?

 

Happy Thursday!
