I'm in my early forty now and I fell that as my age increases, I become more reflective and contemplative. The search for the meaning of life is always integrated in my thinking. I usually think that life indeed is short and we are all but just moment sunlight here on Earth. I reflect before sleeping that we're all pilgrims journeying to the eternity according to the religious inclination that we believe in.
I entertain works or achievements that not only benefit me but will also serve as my legacy to other people. Money to me is also important but only secondary to what is really essential in living. Good name and refutation are more important to me than the glitter of gold. Money without a good name for me is nonsense; money is useless if the source is not good.
I always wish good things to everyone. Though sometimes I'm also angry for those who brags and proud yet I control myself not to wish evil thoughts for those people.
I'm not so combative now in my argument which is unlike before that I loved to debate in every issue.
Maybe this feeling is associated with aging because my aggressiveness is lessening too. But this feeling is good for me and I love it. I love the peace of mind it gives me. Problems to me now are not hard to solve as before.
I hope my contemplative nature will continue to bring good thoughts and ideas which can help me transform them for the good of all people I come in contact with. Amen.
