New world view
The need for greed
and the need to win and compete
are the old world view.
We are moving into a new world view.
So many stick to greed in the hope to get happiness,
but it does not work
and they allow their greed to get bigger and bigger.
The new world view is sharing.
No compulsory sharing like in communism
but voluntary sharing for the sheer happiness
and peace of mind that it brings.
Some people cling to the old view
like an old grumpy typist sticking to an old typewriter.
But soon everyone will see the truth
and typewriters and greed will be a thing from the past. :)

Experience
I was staying in Kuala Lumpur with my children.
Everything was fine and we stayed in a nice hotel.
The hotel-breakfast was really very expensive
and we had decided to take breakfast somewhere else.
While it felt like a good example for the children,
not to be wasteful with the money,
I think we as a family missed the special experience
of pampering ourselves and have a sumptuous breakfast together
during our very short holiday.
Surely, when considering the price of the food in the hotel,
it was far too expensive, but to have breakfast in a special place,
is more than the price of the food. It is the experience too.
On one side, it feels good to save money,
On the other side, experiences are what life is made off.
I am fully against overspending,
but over-saving may also deprive us from living life to its fullest.
Finding a balance between the two is a bit the art of life, I think.

Eternal peace
Just now I went to visit the wife of a dear fried who died last week.
My friend was a little bit handicapped at his feet even though he could walk.
He was a teacher at a school for disabled children and had truly a golden heart.
I loved him for who he was.
I will not meet him again in this world.
But my memories of him will be alive.
When came back from his place,
I was in quite a deep and pensive mood.
I had all those negative feelings about death
and about missing him for the rest of my life.
As I thought deeper and deeper about death,
I became a bit less
Then I think about the encounters with each person at my work.
Today I met with so many people, each enriching my soul at least a bit.
The students, I met.
The datuk professors.
The nurses
The babies I took care off
The parents of my patients
My wife, my children,
My neighbours.
The love I experienced,
I end this small reflection with a heart filled with thanks.
Thanks to all the wonderful beings I was blessed to meet
Thanks to our Creator for allowing me to meet them.
Thanks for being able to make this small reflection a
and share it with all my friends here.
Best wishes to you!
