Life less ordinary....

Saw today's news on the 4th victim who died in his sleep. I pity his wife...must be on her lowest point of her life. They could have start a family soon ....is this fated or is there some scientific answer to this. Beofre he died, it was reported that he was busy opening 2nd clinic and working 15 hours a day! His intention is good as he wants to provide a better life for his family. However, in the midst of his materialistic pursuit, he lost everything overnight. Good thing is he died in the comfort of his home , body intact , breathing his last next to his wife.

But he bought grief to his dear ones, how are they gonna live w/o him? Perhaps he is not to be blamed. The society we live in is the biggest culprit. We lived in a very materialistic society where everything is measured by monetary value and status. In order to survive, we have to pursuit for these and we usually lost more than we gain. But in life, there's no free lunches in this world. Perhaps it would be a good thing to re-evaluate ourselves at different stage of our life...to measure the success we had against the lost we incur and made some neccesary adjustment. ...about the real meaningful things we ought to pursuit.

There can never be the best of everything as human are greedy by nature and we always want more..but there are ppl who are able to see thru this web of deceit and are totally at ease with what they have. Simplicity is pure happiness for them.. could I do that?...I am trying cos I am sick of this fruitless pursuit of materialism back then ....trying to be content with what I have. Trying to give more than to take. It makes me feel good when I see the less fortunate happy. I am trying......
