No 1094 of Living Life Series 1
Often when we are have problems in handling life, we go for the guidance of the saints. We think over what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says. The problems and issues of men are many and plentiful.
We know that this is due to lack of living in the Word common to and behind all religions. We must just be good to ourselves and to others and not at expense of ourselves or others.
This in brief is the Word. We know that the Word is God and saints.
It is however easier said than done. So in low spirit, we withdraw to our room to think and to be alone to seek answers and more insight.
Surprisingly in the room we are not alone or rather, the confines of the room can bring out the better part of us. We want more of the answers to life. Our room can be a good companion. Our room can talk to us somehow. Our room can remind us of the true nature as well as the conflicting values of life.
Looking up, the roof says. Aim high.
Then the air conditioner bids us thus. Be cool. Stay calm.
The calendar says. Stay up to date.
The mirror chips in. Always look at yourself.
The clock says. Value time. Waste not time. No sloth or torpor.

Wallet says. Save now and have spare.
Light says. Light up your life and other's life.
Wall and pillar say. Share and lighten other's load.
Window says. Expand your vision.
Door says. Open the doors of life to more life.
But the floor says. Always stay grounded. Stay down to earth.
The stairs say. Do watch your steps in life.
The toilet bowl is not to be left out. Toilet says. Do just let go.
Toilet paper has the last say. Well, do expect shit every day.
Bed says. Rest now and forget your shit in life. But on waking up, the shit is still there.
In the end after going round and round, we realize the truth of life - the Word. Life is never perfect. We have to know that. We need to find peace and it must begin with us and in us.
Just start off everything in life with inner peace. What happens next, be it good or not so good will not affect us if we keep the peace.
We must however use our brains. We must be wise before we can truly be at peace. We can never keep the peace by not thinking at all . We cannot be at peace if we over think.
