Sometimes we find an incredible lesson from the things around us without any awareness. It needs time to contemplate in while and connect it with our life experiences and thoughts. The lesson starts from here.
At that morning, I saw an old woman who was selling vegetables (in the market on the edge of the main street, unfortunately). She sat there behind her stuffs and relished drinking her tea. It looked like that her tea was the most delicious one and as if she savored it in the luxury cafe. Though, the price of that tea was around Rp. 3000,00 (Indonesia’s currency) Do you think as her think? I don’t think so (big smile).
What can I take from that simple scene of life? Some of us don’t realize (included me) that ultimately, the flavor of the tea is the same, whenever we drink it, in the cafe or on the street, the taste is the same. The sensation of the tea only differs when it passes through the throat, and we can say it is sweet or bitter. Thus, after all the taste is disappeared.
That case not only occurs for the tea, but for other things as well. The pleasurable of the expensive mattress will be sensed before we close our eyes and cannot be enjoyed when them are closed. And at the end of the story is the same as the tea. Nothing difference.
So, the life is about the taste (feeling). And it is only for a moment not everlasting and will change for another one. Whatever the taste that we say sadness, happiness and disappointment right now, just try to enjoy them, not to complain. Because these are only temporary. On the other hands we can take a good lesson from them to make us a better person.
Sometimes the bad conditions (sadness or disappointment or unhappiness) can sharp our personality. We know well ourselves in those conditions rather than in good ones. Just accept them as they are and try taking a lesson from them. It will be better rather than to complain.
When you feel your life is at the bottom point, look up on the sky. It still is large, no boundary as if your heart, taking a breath and trying to smile. It is only temporary not forever. It will pass and change. Be strong, "Life does not get easier, it is because you get stronger by time to time"
