Topic: Don't choose long life, choose fruitful living
By:
Every night, we go down to sleep and wake the following morning, but we are not conscious of the kind of life that we live. We all pray for long life because like a song writer said "nobody want to die, but we all want to go heaven".
The truth is, what is the benefit of living a long but unfulfilled life? As humans, you need to fine tune your thinking faculty to another frequency because the frequency at which all mankind are tuned to is already overloaded and crowded. When I talk about frequency, I am not referring to the electro-magnetic wave frequency but the HLR (human life realistic) frequency. All humans are common with the mentality of working and making morning for me, myself and I, forgetting that the Supreme being did not strategized life in that dimension.
Life was made on the wing of connectivity, though all human are born alone but God connect one to many because life is like a chain of distribution. Most people prefer to gather wealth and riches unto themselves and for their use alone, yet they had forgotten that they used some people to acquire those treasures.
They close their eyes to see those who are gifted but swimming in poverty and turned deafen ears to the cry of people who are tortured by severe suffering. I guess they have forgotten that all their treasures, wealth and riches can not be taken along with them to the grave when they die. Like the bible referenced that 'what shall it profit who gain the whole world and lose his soul?'
Some people are so greedy and thoughtless that they can not afford to give two percent of their possession to invest in the life of others, yet they can lavish twenty percent of their wealth on material things. They spend more on living an exclusive life, buying expensive materials and driving the best of exotic cars, they have forgotten that even the manufacturer of all these things stated it that they have an expiry date. They do not know that the best and benefiting share in life is investing in the life of others. Life is meant to be shared, that was the reason God created all human in reference to inequality.
We are meant to be fair and sharing because with this attitude, we get connected to each other. Some even go to the extreme, and giving a bad painting about the rich. Imagine some rich people who are noted to be clergy personnel, seeing a person in need of help, either career-wise or financially, some are even dealing with starvation, yet the rich clergy who preach giving will end up counselling them on how to get more committed and closer to the Supreme being, making them pass through pain of faith when they are capable of helping such individual.
At the end of it all, they make the needy become a rebel against the Supreme being for thoughtless and mindless of them, meanwhile it was the fault of the thoughtless rich clergy.
This is not mockery but reality, do you think that on the last day, God will praise you for winning a soul in faith or losing a generation by greed? Now I know that a heart of gold is not by what you have in possession but how impacting you are to your world. Some days ago, I saw a little boy dressed in a tattered singlet and torn short at a cafeteria, running errands for people there and at the end he either receive a very low compensation or insult at its fullest, but what broke my heart was that by evening, I saw this same boy in the slum, giving food to the starving young and feeble old, I was compelled to call him and question him, 'where do you get all things from and why are you sharing all this things that you are meant to use for yourself?' Then this young replied and said, 'I live because of them, if I can strong and vibrant enough, then why can't I be the strength of the weak around me? and moreover, there is nothing we bring to this world and nothing shall we return with'.
I felt bitter in my heart that this indeed a fruitful life, if he die today his memory can not be wiped away because he had lived a life for others despite the little he had and the hardship he go through to get that little never reflect on his giving.
This should give a better painting to us all, that living a wealthy and long life is not an achievement to the creation of humanity but how accountable you are to others as you wipe their tears and give hope to the hopeless makes your life a fruitful one. A fruitful life is an accomplished life, filled with treasure for future generations because the good deeds of the kind hearted can not fade, it will reflect throughout their bloodline
I guess that you can now differentiate that a man who lived for 50 fruitful years on earth is better than a man who lived 100 wealthy and fruitless years. In due time, only your good deeds on earth will help you maintain the wealth you left behind as it guides the path of your lineage. As for me, I choose to live a fruitful life than to live a worthless and unaccountable life, what about you?
Kindly give your comment to the question thank you.
