A Simple Life

Sometimes, I yearn to be detatched from all worldly pleasures and lead a simple life.

With high standards in today's life, it is hard for people to resist working hard/earning more to enjoy life.

I found myself living almost like a nun for 6 months last year. I enjoyed the process. Only some works during certain days and enough for me to survive and even save! No shopping and I am always at home sleeping or meditating or exercising when free. Less internet and TV too. Spending on phone, food and travel was like only $200 plus, necessaties was $100 per 3-4 months.

If life can be that simple... and continues.

No relationships troubles, no money problems, no crisis in our health, no worries, no need to worry about children, no cravings and desires, no sins, and no obstacles.

In the end, I found out that it is not a time for me to become a nun totally.

Parents are getting older, younger siblings are not being well taken care of. Why are all these happening?

Although saw alot of problems coming out, I have learnt to be independent too. The experience is worthwhile and I learnt alot. I am upset is because I am worried about my younger siblings. They are still so young, and they have to go through life without much company by their busy parents.

My mum is always busy with works because she is very responsible and she want us to have good life.

All I know is to tear for her and many times, I always pray for her a much better life.

Many great things about her; simple, courageous, hardworking and responsible. It was very hard to realize all these traits when she always nag at me in the past. Haha!
