Zen

Had a conversation with my very good old friend. Like vintage wine. We spoke about men and money.

Why are people obsessed with making money or getting anxious over how more others made? Or seemingly make.

Why are people concerned over leaving their men alone for some time? Do all men stray? Why do some people kick up a fuss over an affair, while others choose escapism, while a further subset choose to accept the fact that all men will have their flings and mistresses.

Do we forgive our partners for a one time fling? For an affair that lasted over a period of time? Or for keeping a mistress? Is there a difference - in affairs that are brief or long lasting? Do we handle them differently?

Can we really forgive and accept affairs our partners have had / may have ? Do we accept affairs that our friends may have? Do our views change depending on the geographical location we are in and the social norms?

有谁人是一张白纸 － 只有将来没有过去？

My friend stressed over money and lamented that people are owning more properties, getting more well to do. This had been an on going topic we have been msn-ing over.

And finally she commented that I am like a monk. Very zen.

I guess I am, after all we are all transient on earth. Our time on earth will come to an end one day. When I leave, I will go with no regrets, at peace, in tranquility. And each day I am alive, I endeavour to make this happen.

Wealth is a relative term. We are all wealthy in our own ways. God provides for all. Lets not compare or be envious. For each richer person there is, there will be one that is poorer than oneself.

Let's be grateful for all that we have been endowed with, and not be envious of what we do not have.
