IamKashyBaby:



I disagree with this write up..

Becoz U are spreading words that ppol shud to be sober instead of giving them hope..

Be careful what u write and the message u wanna send..

What if there are ppol out there who are terminally ill and read this? How wud they feel about this? How about those suicidal? Those ppol who are emotionally distressed? Those who are suffering from depression? Have u ever think about them?

Its not bcoz u are free to write anything, u will juz write anyhow..

I believe intelligent ppol motivate others to progress, enjoy their lives to the fullest..encourage others to change their lives that has a positive impact..

Talking abouth death? Why not CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE INSTEAD?

hanassholesolo:


She's giving you a dose of an inevitable reality. Your reaction is natural, especially when the truth is being told.

RoyalBlak007:

♤ When you die

♤it doesn't end there...I know you're a Christian...so you won't believe me. Do you believe in reincarnation?

MhisTahrah:
But you know deep down who these people are.

Dasherz:


oya swallow this chill pill jor

Mariinee:
Babe. What do you think of the write up too?

sexybbstar:
People who wants to be rich fall into temptation and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into destruction. Some have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Kimcutie:
I don't think I know, am not religious, I go to church whenever I feel like and am not pentecostal christian, I attend catholic... But I know there are bad eggs among the good ones, in your first comment, it seems like every pastor is an entrepreneur.

Dasherz:


that shii is a suicide note o

kinda crappy, life should be celebrated it doesn't matter how long you live just stay happy while living not sulkin on what you gonna live behind

WORDWORLD:


The above quote is the CRUX of her piece of writing. Anything else she has written is supportive to that CORE MESSAGE above which she is trying to pass to all. Not that it is VAIN to be rich or strive to be rich but to strive to be rich at ALL and ANY COST as described above in that quote is indeed VANITY.

Any piece of writing is open to interpretation and indeed is interpreted differently depending K9 on the reader's nature and personality.

Someone who is shallow, and superficial will always interprete his or her reading supperficially ignoring DETAILS. A profoundly deep person approaches it with profundity, trying as much as possible to grasp the message and more than the message to understand the MOTIVE. An arrogant person approaches his readings with arrogance and looks for passages or sentences to justify his or her arrogance. SEEKERS AFTER TRUTH approach a book or writing with the TRUEST, PUREST LIGHT their heart can give and INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY, hence with CONSCIENCE and are CONSCIETIOUS.

'THE WORLD IS VANITY UPON VANITY' is a statement not at all new. The major problem really is that not many people understands what that statement means. Which is 'a' teaching by all prophets and great teachers of spirituality. IT SIMPLE MEANS TO SEEK AFTER THE ESSENCE OF LIFE. It is that discovery of the ESSENCE by your sincere search that fills that VOID called 'VANITY' hence life becomes MEANINGFUL and not meaningless a FULFILMENT.

"Birth is okay and death is okay if we know that they are only concepts. REALITY transends both birth and death". (The heart of Buddha's teaching: Tranforming suffering into peace, joy, and liberation a beautiful book by Thich Nhat Hanh)

The Last Prophet of Islam was report to have said "DIE BEFORE YOU DIE". How do you die before you die what does it mean. Firstl it means like the teachings of Buddha death is a concept,

Her writing title Vanity vs Reality makes DEATH to be remembered as an inevitable we must all embrace hence, which goes back to the core of her message again, has already being quoted above.

CAN WE DENY THE FACT THAT TODAY'S WORLD HAS BEEN MADE TO SEEM SO MEANINGLESS TO SO MANY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE CONSUMERIST CULTURE AT PLAY, OF MUTUAL COMPETITION AND RIVALRY, THE LUST AND DESIRE TO PILE UP THINGS EPHEMERAL AT THE DETERIMENT OF OTHERS?

Now, as to LIFE and DEATH itself. Here is a REALITY, TRUE LIFE STUDY by a nurse to ponder as supporting the message she is trying to pass.

"You're lying in a bed. Maybe you're surrounded by friends and family. Maybe you'er alone. Perhaps you knew it was coming, or may be it came by total surprise. The nurse comes in with a look on her face that tells you what you already know. She says it'll be a matter of days and its time to prepare for what's ahead. And in that moment, what will run through your mind? Your children? Your best friend? The one who got away? The job of your dreams? And if you are asked the question, 'IF YOU COULD LIVE LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?' -what would you say? Katie Zeak.

In her book, THE FIVE REGRETS OF THE DYING,Bronie Ware a palliative nurse who had counselled the dying in their last days
revealed that dying comes with CLARITY OF VISION, the veils of fantasy are removed from the dying's eyes. THEY CAN PRETEND NO MORE. THEY ARE FACED WITH TRUTH, DEATH, THEIR VISION BECOMES SO CLEAR. THEY CAN LIE TO THEMSELVES NO MORE. 

She highlights these FIVE REGRETS of the dying, which is a documentation of her experience as a nurse who help people to die,a job she does for a living. Take note of these REGRETS, as numbered 1 to 5 so you won't be counted as one when the time comes as you are privilege to be alive today to learn how to live to die FULFILLED.


1.“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”.



AIN'T THE CHOICE OF HOW MOST PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES MOSTLY AN EFFORT SEEKING FOR PRESTIGE, TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLES TO BE RICH AT ALL COST?

"the purpose of a rose is to be a rose. Your purpose is to be yourself. You don’t have to run anywhere to become someone else. You are wonderful just as you are.
(Thich Nhat Hanh , The Heart of the Buddha's
Teaching)



*Prestige means the respect and admiration that someone or something gets because of their success or important position in the society. Hence, we trample upon each other for prestige, a life of SHOW OFF, of MUTUAL RIVALRY for piling up the vanities of life. With each unfolding day, the more the people DEVIATE from their TRUE SELF seeking to be somebody else........looking up to the BILL GATES and being so UNHAPPY for the little you have. So we start to feel SUFFERINGS as the WORLD is suffering today because it is on a RACE to pile up and with GREED without COMPASSION.

2. “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”

3. “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.”

4. “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.”

5. “I wish that I had let myself be happier.”



THE WORLD IS WHAT IT IS TODAY FULL OF GRIEF BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMPASSION. DO WE KNOW THAT THE WEALTH OF THE FIRST 100 RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF WORLDS POVERTY FOUR TIMES OVER? SO, WHAT LIFE ARE THEY LIVING IF NOT VANITY BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFINATELY NOT GOING ANY WHERE WITH THAT WEALTH BUT ITS A COMPETITION FOR WHO IS MOST VAIN AND WITH THE MOST OF VANITIES, A RANKIN TO BOAST ABOUT.

I hope to continue later i gat to attend to a few things.
