Last Saturday, I went to the Nirvana Memorial Park with my family to worship my father side grandpa and grandma that had passed away. It was cool and super fresh morning as we reached there. The memorial park had became larger than before. Just like what we did last time during this same day, we put on some fruits, flowers, dumpling and chicken in front of the gravestone and greet them by worshiping as well. Later on, we burned the paper-made items to send them as their gift. Believe it or not, those who are belong to another world can actually receive the gift on the spot. This is what my friend told me and she even witnessed 'them' put on the new clothes immediately as the paper-made stuff being burned! Can you imagine?
'Ching Ming' is a very important and traditional occasion that remind us somehow our ancestors will always stay alive in our memory. It is a precious opportunity for people to show their tribute to their ancestor. It inspired me. I realized that I am afraid of death, in fact. For some people, death is not something to be afraid. Yes, I agree. But for me, I really afraid of it, afraid to see it happen to the person around me, especially parents, my family members. There will be a day where they have to leave me too. This kind of pain is extremely difficult to bear. Silly of me to think that they could stay with me always and forever. Would it be better if everyone can die together at the same timing instead of taking turn? Nobody sad for nobody and nobody cry for nobody.
We won't be able to know about how long we can live. Until 70 years old? Until 100 years old? Or maybe fated to die young? #TOUCH WOOD Therefore, treasure every single moment and be appreciate whenever you can stay together with your family, your BFF, your lover and the people around you. Because there is no one can accompany you and stay with you for forever, unless they are the special immortal creature------VAMPIRE.
