We die when the body (which so happens to 'contain this energy') wears out and cannot hold 'contain' life.<BR/><BR/>So, one is alive as long as the soul is in the body!<BR/><BR/>I usually think about people and their life. They come on earth, get with people, love, get loved, harm, get harmed, and then die...i think life if worth living if you improve the life of those you love. And then when you die, after some generations you are just forgotten, just a picture on a wall..the individuality of the person is lost!!! which is sad! but the plain truth!G@V!Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141062019485330837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-38654662862306387332008-09-17T13:59:00.000+04:002008-09-17T13:59:00.000+04:00Hi Gavin,Thank you for your response and yes you g...Hi Gavin,<BR/>Thank you for your response and yes you guess it lol ur friendly Mauritian compatriote from Australia.As you have notice am fascinated by life and what makes one tick.I agree to a certain extent about your opinions on how humans seem to miss the simplicity of life,and what makes us happy.We all different and I will go along to say we are all unique on this earth,there is only one u and me,and like the saying goes it takes all kind to make a world.As human are fallible beings,we are meant to learn from our mistakes,I dont mean one has to suffer to know the true joy of happiness NOOOOOOOOOO.Havent u notice with some people troubles follow them and they didnt look for it.All things happen for a reason and we cant rationalise and as well as gemneralise.The importance of it all is how we cope with what the universe dish out.Well, what I truely think is one has to acquire wisdom,understanding and knowledge to undertstand who we really are and what is our purpose.Then happiness will come in the form of peace in your inner spirit,show we are equipped to deal with whatever is thrown at us.LOl,think I better end here,or else I will carry on and on,because philosophy fascinates me.<BR/>So happy searching and may u be blessed with wisdom (it can only happen when we are open to deep thoughts).<BR/>Thank you for the insight.<BR/>From NaomiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-14583223355127430852008-09-16T13:51:00.000+04:002008-09-16T13:51:00.000+04:00Dear Friend.au,Well, first, thank you for reading....Dear Friend.au,<BR/>Well, first, thank you for reading.<BR/> I do agree with the fact that we need to go through some pain and suffering to really appreciate happiness, however, sometimes while looking for complicated things to make us happy, we go past the simple things which can brings us joy.<BR/><BR/>I have always wondered the difference could be between Joy, Happiness and Pleasure, then i came up to the conclusion that it may be the duration:<BR/>Pleasure is usually more short-lived than Happiness. Happiness in turn is more short-lived than Joy...well that's my conclusion...What do you think?<BR/><BR/>The best people always fall, what differentiates them from the others is that they get up again, learn a lesson and keep on trying....well that's of course my opinion!G@V!Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141062019485330837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-56657365917468507252008-09-16T10:24:00.000+04:002008-09-16T10:24:00.000+04:00Greeting from Australia,well,while browsing the ne...Greeting from Australia,well,while browsing the net i've stumbled on your blog.I was born in Mauritius but been in Oz for quater of a century now.I will refer to your comment regarding "living".I do agree we are meant to live life to the fullest and not let life controlled us.But in this asthetic world of demands and a need to be the best we lose the point of the true essence of life.But easy said than done,what truely aspires us is our experiences no matter good or bad it will shape your life.It's not a bad thing to be on the other side of the scale that is thriving to be the best and but one should be ready to fall.Then we will come to the understandinf of the meaning of one existence.So,my point we gotta experince pain n suffering to understand happiness.Don't you agree.<BR/>Thank you for allowing me to express my views.Nice to see a Mauritian,so, cheers from AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-80983761158124924662008-07-26T16:06:00.000+04:002008-07-26T16:06:00.000+04:00Hi Mr Gavin,hearty congratulations for your 500 vi...Hi Mr Gavin,<BR/>hearty congratulations for your 500 visitors on your blog. <BR/><BR/>This post is indeed an inspiring and thought provoking one. People nowadays are busy pursuing their career and are as you said, not LIVING.<BR/><BR/>During my holidays, i have tried to do those things which always keep me happy--baby sitting my nieces and nephews...I find great happiness and peace of mind while looking of them, i simply love those kids. I got another niece of 2 months, she's an angel on earth, and looking after her is simply WOW.<BR/><BR/>The last time I was REALLY happy, on the verge of crying was for my 20th birthday, which I want to share. I was in fact participating in a grand prayer which was held for one of my nieces to clear some hurdles in her life, and my birthday happened to be on the before last day. That morning,as I woke up, my 2 nieces,one at a time, sung Happy Birthday for me, and it was really too sweet and i immediately gave them a tight hug. Then the next day, was the final day of prayer which was completed by a Maha Yagya, and it was my niece's birthday as well. After the prayers, there was a small Kirtan organised, and there again the uncles/aunties would sing Happy Birthday again for me and my niece and this time with showers of flowers as blessings, and that moment I cried. Next, we had two birthday cakes, all the people present, along with my dear colleagues at work and all my dears, a small birthday. I think this is the most happiest moment in my life. I really love that moment.<BR/><BR/>I believe that one should devote oneself to being the most loving person one knows and thinking, feeling, and acting as though one is among the greatest people currently on the planet. <BR/><BR/>Your life will never be the same and you will bless many lives.<BR/><BR/>One more thing I would like to say is that, always care for your dear ones and know their importance and role they play in our life...because nowadays people only realise the importance of others,only when they are gone and have regrets. <BR/><BR/>Cherish every little moments spent with your dear ones and parents.<BR/><BR/>Last but not the least, enjoy each and every day as if it's the last dawn and dusk your are experiencing.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>ChayaChayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911222724203254445noreply@blogger.com
