The Blessed Life

  As is, as one thinking human, you and I are aware of many things.  As is, as one egoistic human, you and I feel insulted when others say we lack the sense of awareness.  At a glance, all humans – and they include you and I, tend to be self aware.  We can think.  We feel.  We act and react accordingly.  We would say we know what is good or bad and what is right or wrong.   In short, we claim that we are aware of ourselves.  We would probably admit - intellectually and with experiences - we understand the world around us.  Humans pride with having the sense of awareness which allows each one of us – including you and I - to perceive, process, act and react to our surroundings, based on what we think we know.  Our pride would also say of what we know to be our sense of awareness that is filled with good guarded conscientious mindset.  However, the sense of awareness is usually a subjective experience which may be distorted,...

A new dusk to a new dawn with a new beginning.   Year 2 0 2 4 – a combination of number 8, which is considered ‘very lucky’ in Chinese culture, had been a good year for me.  From a twist of event to the previous year 2023, where I lost (another) sister, 2024 started with new resolution.  2 0 2 3 was a year of spiritual awakening and it gave me the insight to make things right.

In January, I found new meaning to what I had previously lost.  The first month, January 2024, brought new meaning to my life.  It was camaraderie of love all over again.  Love, to which I had lost, was found again.  With new meaning, new wealth, new hope of benefiting from an old idea t...
