珍惜生命, 所有生命

Life? It's very strange!
Some people, because of some unknown fears, gave up on life!
Some people, just so they could continue to see, to breathe, fight for life!
One lives, one dies? Who can control? Yet who can prevent?
Some people, because of youthful recklessness, created life!
Some people, because of regretful mistakes, injured life!
Life? Who decides? To give or to take?
So long as one still has a breath left, live life to the fullest, savor it!
When life is at its end, close the eyes in remembrance, go in peace!
Everything but everything is the will of Heaven!
Wish to stay, wish to leave? Don’t ask, don’t fret. It’s all what will be will be.
Perhaps, those who wish to leave shouldn’t! Wish to stay, then let them stay!
This, perhaps is life, predestined, but more so, it’s fate!
We should not exploit, or be exploited!
Like walking, the road is right in front of us.
To continue? To stop? It’s all in our hands!
To face life may be tough, but to flee from life is tougher still!
Why bother? Go, taste the nectar from the hardships!
Why do it? Go, experience the gains from the risks !
To have the courage to face life, more than anything else, makes it more meaningful!

Thank you everyone for your response!
Why do I like to ponder on life?
Isn’t it tiring? Or boring?
Why ask why?
Negative? Pessimistic? – Not at all!
To ponder life, to question life, is depressing? gloomy? helpless? troubled?
Not at all!
It is: courage, to confront, to open up, and to be positive!
This, to me, is my way of treasuring, a kind of attitude!
Up to now, my encounters with birth, old age, illness and death, may not be numerous,
yet, they are not few.
Everytime, when I witness new life, I’m inspired!
Everytime, when an elder talks of the past, I listen attentively!
Everytime, when friends and relatives suffer illness, I feel helpless!
Everytime, when a life comes to a natural end, I'm resigned!
But all these do not change my attitude.
Life experiences make people stronger, more resilient! So, what is there to fear?
What is to fear are: apathy and indifference!
Why not: treasure, value, explore, and seek!
And strive together!
