Death-Is it scary?

Been thinking on the issue of Death recently again.

Many people are scare of Death as they do not want to lose whatever they want in the living world and be gone just like that. Their attachment to the world create their fear of Death. Hence come the saying, Death is not fearsome, the process of waiting for Death is.

Do they realize that Birth is a more painful process when they come to this world from the Womb?

Death erases all your pain. When you die, you lose everything in this world except memories of you to others. You stop all the sufferings and also all the happiness, excitement, etc.

Birth creates pain. From the second that you emerge from the womb, you are entitled to receipt of pain-both physically and mentally.

Hence, do not be afraid of Death, its the end of all sufferings. But also do not forgo Birth, it is part of the cycle for you to end all sufferings

Failed to see the bigger picture!

Every time in the library, never fail to notice that The Straits Times Classified recruitment section is always the most popular. Can't blame it as the unemployment rate remains at a relatively high level. Why spend 80 cents on the paper everyday while they can get the required information for free in the library!

Another observation is that many thrifty ones copy whatever they need on a piece of paper and head home with a hope.Some actually took out their mobile and called up to enquiry the job on the spot. The call duration is more than 3 minutes per call and more than 3 calls per time.

The Straits Times costs 80 cents while 3 calls with 3 minute duration each adds up to be more than 80 cents.

So why don't they go buy the paper and do the calling at home!
