What is life about? Part 1

Sometime ago while chit-chatting with a friend, he mentioned from nothing we came and from nothing we depart. What he meant was we didn't bring anything the moment we came to this life and neither will we bring anything away when we die. Then problems start. What do we do then in between life and death?

My cynical side will say why bother since everything comes to naught anyway in the end. Why study? Why work? Why strive so hard? Why bother?

But then there is this small voice within me that says.....there must be something you want to achieve, something you want to get and something you want to do to fill this gap between life and death. I guess everyone be they religious or not will have this small voice within them sometime in their life.....

So we start our journey to fill this gap between life and death. Most of us are fortunate because we are well taken care of by our parents. But some only knew of hunger, disease and suffering from young. Then we question what did these young souls do to deserve such a life.

Parents fault? Most parents will willingly give their lifes away so that their young will live. I think most parents will do all within their means to provide the best for their young ones. Nevertheless there are some who would put themselves above the children. Well to these parents all I could say is may the children grow up to break the vicious cycle of uncaring for their young ones.
