Life is like a bowl of ais kacang...

I see what I wanted to see, I do what I wanted to do..
...is a perception of freedom by most people.
but, is it true?

We are all bound by each other. Mother and son, Mom and Dad, brother and sister, aunt and uncle, friends and neighbour...Each of our actions influence not only our own but others as well.

Let's say if I am hungry now and I went to eat. I order a plate of dish and I pay the restaurant. The restaurant owner received my payment. Therefore my action of buying food affect his life.

Anyway, the fact is, whatever we do, no matter how hard we try to be 'FREE', we are cannot be completely free, there is always connection between people, so although we want to do things we want to do, we must also think of the actions we make could or could not cause bad influence toward others.

Another example, if a person who is young doesn't want to work. He lives in the woods, cultivating his own food, had a peace and quiet live on his own. can we say that he is completely alone? of course no. Think about his family, his mom and dad, brother and sister. What would their friends say? What would their relatives say? Although he can choose to ignore negative comments but his family will have to live their life surrounded by all these comments.

Is this an act of selfishness? or just plain ignorant?

As a reminder to myself and also something to share to those around me. We are not alone in this world. What we do does affect people around us, especially those who love us and who we love.

These are things we like to do, and also there are things we have to do no matter we like it or not.

Think about it and I hope we all found our way of life someday,maybe today is the day..

Love and peace
