Die for a Cause

The recent happenings (2007) in Myanmar (old Burma) had triggered my thoughts about our purpose and existence. You might wonder why a trouble in Myanmar had cause spark on my head. How could we escape from the responsible of what happens else where on earth. The efforts of the Burmese people to regain freedom are in wane.

I would say that the reason that the people power had failed against the guns were because the people are not ready to shed their blood. Every one needs to have freedom at hardly any cost. A grain must first die to produce more.

All of us would die one day. Why do we preserve our lives for tomorrow? If our lives today could value enough to pay for the freedom of our country or the well-being of our fellow beings, why do we hold it back until its worthless?

Let our lives not be the greed for power and wealth. Let it not be the greed to live long. Let out lives be meaningful and let our death be for the living. Learn to love, love one another. Let’s feel petty for those who are mislead by the world. Let’s not feel angry for those who act insane and stupid because they are drunk with the worldly pleasures.

Let’s be the few who would beat the bush to make a path that a few would find and follow; A path of truth, love, care and concern. Let god fill our hearts with love and make our hearts pure.
