 Life is fragile.

All can change in a second and leave us in despair.
Marriage can end. Relationship can break down. Job can disappear. And the midst of Coronapandemic we know that death like lurking at us in every single corner.
Facing with uncertainty people will slowly show their true color.
Their true fear will emerge as well as what is their true desire and need. In the brink of abyss of unknown territory people tend to just let go and focus their mind in what is. Our grandparents who were experience living in poverty and war know about this. They have survived the most unthinkable thing in our life time. It what gives them wisdom to live life full of gratitude. It is in such helplessness situation the quality of hero within will surface. They are courage, patient, forgiveness, letting go and all good quality that makes us once again being human.
Yes, life is fragile. And we are as if building a castle in the sand. But the meaning will last forever. It is the moment that we have spent together and create happy memory. It is the lending hand when others in need. The smile on our face that makes other feel safe and welcomed. The good quality that radiates from our inner heart because we choose to raise above all.
A wise men once said, "Even you know the end of time will come and you still have a sapling in your hand, by all means plant it" We might not see the fruit of our good deed, but do it anyway. That's how.
