Mankind must learn to release and relax. If we do not wish to attain something, nothing is lost. At the zoo, the humans are watching the animals or the animals are watching humans? Put them in your shoes, our freedom comes at a price whereas the animals are provided shelter and food in place of their freedom.
The manifestations of mankind in the eons unfold for better or worse. There is little or no more of family values left over. We are busy everyday with material gains. Jealousy and competition takes a new meaning in that we want to be ahead in everything in life.
Even the basic obligation of performing the last rites for a senior family member leaves much to be desired. Not all the younger generation turned up to send the last journey for the grand matriarch. Now, if there are properties and assets to go around, then that there will like bees to honey. That would be a different story.
It is quite pathetic that no one volunteers to guard the wake through the night. The silent of the night and the body lying in the box reflects the sad state of affairs. Its really brings tears to the eyes for such a final journey. Most have forgotten their roots, their beginning. How they were brought to this world.
A pleasant surprise awaits those who stay for the wake. A miracle unfolds as the dearly departed soul came back in the form of a praying mantis, a moth and a bird. The walking style of the mantis reminds of the grand old lady; and the kindly bird taking a last look into the coffin of her own body.
Our earthly life is, but just a few decades. If we forsake the family values, some purposes in life will be lost...
