Does love last forever? Is health always follow you? Can youth remain long?
Does your family always stay whole? No. There is no everlasting dinner in
the world. Birth, aged, illness and death are the natural law. Life seams a
very short moment like the rushing water under a bridge. Even a
hundred-year-old age is just a short moment compared with the long history
of the universe. However, some people seam to care nothing about life. They
muddle along, live for money as mammonists, live for beer and skittles,
live in defiance of conventions or even murder for property. These people
will cry their hearts out regretting their ignorance on the faith of life
and feel sorry
for their love, youth, health, wealth and families that have gone forever
like soap bubbles before they could have enjoyed these enough. Their sad
lessons tell us that life is bitter and short if you don’t cherish it. On
the other hand, life is happy and long enough if you have a strong wise faith
of cherishing it. Start from the very beginning of your age to cherish your
life, youth, family, the nature and everything given by the universe, and
your life will be full of love and you will live a beatific peaceful happy life.
When the last day comes, you can say you have enjoyed
the truth, goodness and beauty of life.
My faith of life is to cherish life and all gifts the universe has
given me. This faith has benefited my life in many ways. I live happily
with my family, work favorably and get along well with all around me. I
have learnt to taste each moment of my life and smell each gift of the
world. I feel my life so wonderful, satisfying, rich and pretty long.
A true love in life is my most valuable treasure. I must cherish my
wife’s love. It is said that the true love, your wife, is the good future
or the gift which you had gained by accumulating merits in the heaven for
over thousands of years. I always cherish the love from my wife. I do know
it would be too late to cherish my wife when I have lost love. At noon
everyday, as I come back from work, seeing my wife busy cooking, I
immediately go into the kitchen to help beside her. I always like what she
has made and never complain about. In return, she always tries her best to
cook nice food for me. I cherish my wife in all ways. For example, she has born
me two kids. Each time she went into the delivery room followed by me and I
kept taking good care of her so that she could feel well, calm and safe
with me. I love my two kids, a son and a daughter. I gave my son the name
Happy and my daughter Rose. Everyone on earth, I think, cherishes Happy and
Rose.
But life is not always easy and peaceful like a smooth sailing.
Because of heavy burden of life, hardship of work and complex social
relations, once my wife got so angry that she bunked off. She made a bed in
her office of her company and refused to come home. Such an incident brought
me an inglorious situation. I might have well punished her. But a question
arose in my mind, “Do you cherish this love?” The answer is sure. I began
to think what to do to cherish her. And I began to stand on her place and
think for her whenever she refused to say anything or whatever blames she
throw at me. Again and again I went to her with apologizes and
explanations. Sometimes the idea in the mind is complicated. A flash idea
came upon like “Is she interested in anyone else? How about a divorce?” So
the faith of cherishing life must be firm in deed. The final answer was NO.
In fact, the dark before dawn is the blackest. After waiting perseveringly
with hardest patience, success was coming close. My true feelings and
contain finally gained her forgive. She changed her views in the end and
came with me back home. Gradually, she was getting much more charming than
ever. She loves me more than herself now. In one word, if you cherish love,
the love cherishes you in return.
Actually, there are all sorts of treasures like life for us to
cherish. Your own body and health, for example, is well worth cherishing.
He who has a faith of cherishing life is sure to cherish his own body and
health. You might say, “Everyone in the world cherishes his or her body and
health.” No, not everyone. Those who have no faith in cherishing life are
very likely to damage their health. Take the smokers for example, the
smokers with a firm faith would quit smoking and never pick it up any more
while the ones without a firm faith quit smoking many a time and pick up
smoking again and again until serious illness comes at them. They cherish
cigarettes more than their own bodies. How can they prevent illnesses from
destroying their health? We can see many people, young and old, men and women,
take exercise in the parks every day. Sure they have a much more firm faith
of cherishing life compared with those lazy ones lying in bed until late morning
without eating breakfast. Without regular exercise and diet, how can they
keep fit? The worst enemy of damaging human’s health is the drugpushers and
druggers. All people with a life faith must rise up to fight against them
for human health.
Another example of neglect in cherishing life is the commit suicide.
The suicides look as if they cherished their lives before they try to take
their lives. But they are likely to hesitate while meeting trouble or
difficulty in life for, in fact, they have no faith of cherishing life.
Many times the police have saved suicides one after another who hate living
on. When asked why he or she must take his or her life, their answers are
different but with a common reason that they find it no need to cherish
their lives any more. They cherish their glory, wealth, money, friendship
or passion more than life. After saved, tended and enlightened in hospital,
some are awakened and regretted for they again feel the worthy of life.
Some feel grateful to the police. So you see, these people should have
taught to have a firm faith in life so that fewer dangerous situations
appear, less human damage happens and less loss arises.
Besides our bodies, we are given all sorts of valuable gifts such as
jobs, animals, the nature and many more else all round us. First of all,
everyone has to work for themselves, their family and society. Most people
do cherish their jobs, enjoying their work no matter how hard their jobs
are, for they always show love to life and the gifts from the universe. But
quiet a few people do not cherish their jobs when they have enough money,
or find their jobs harder than someone else’s. They begin to goldbrick or
quit. Their go-slow in work sometimes would cause the companies or
factories serious losses. Even worse, their careless work would cause
accidents with blood and deaths. You see, those who do not have a life
faith of cherishing their jobs may bring trouble to the society.
Trees, grass, animals, water, air and so on are all our friends we
must cherish. We will find it a noble tusk to cherish a deep love for them.
Foolish things were done to our friends by those without a faith of life
cherish. Here is a true story as an example. 50 Years ago in China,
trees are cut down everywhere, to take the place of coal, for steel-making.
Within only half a year or so, many mountains all over the county became
bald. Strange accidents happened one after another after trees are cut
down. For example, wolves in group came into villages in the daytime and
pigs, goats, and farmers young and old were bitten to death here and there.
Some of the deaths had never seen a wolf before. An old farmer, wounded by
a wolf, told his family that he had thought it was a big dig, for he had
never seen one. This lesson is worth learning and we must have a firm faith
of cherishing our friends ----the gifts the universe gives.
As a life faith of cherishing what the universe gives, it should be a
wise one. I know a famous saying “We never cherish any
unrealistic fancies about those desperate criminals.”
What we cherish is welldoing and no evildoing is
worth cherishing. Terrorists all over the world have brought us too much
trouble, loss and damage and too many deaths. Never shall we show any pity
on these evildoers. We shall express our gratitude to those who are fighting a battle against
terrorists. And it is also foolish to cherish every death. While watching
TV, we may see a wolf kills a rabbit or a lion bites a goat to death. It is
a balance of living nature. Don’t think that the rabbit or the goat ought
to be cherished and wolf or lion to be a terrorist.
What’s more, what we should cherish are so many that we have to choose
between primary and secondary. Lack of the wise faith, sometimes one is
likely to have no idea which to cherish in time of danger. Here is a story
taken as an example of wrong action in cherishing life. Just before off
duty time, a masked man broke into a cash office where only a young girl
clerk was working. Hearing a shout “Money or life”, the girl, who cherished
both her life and the money, made a mistake at the razor-edge. She rose up
to fight against the robber and soon got killed. She ought to have chosen
her life rather than money. Life is given you once while money whenever. There
is a Chinese Saying “With a green mountain remained, there will be no worry
about firewood for cook”. As a piece of advice, it teaches one to choose
life safety first of all in time of danger except some other especial political
cases that can be discussed next time. Therefore, it is a must to have a
wise faith of cherishing life and all gifts given.
Usually people with a wise faith of life will have good manners. They
are able to choose when to cherish others instead of themselves. Sometimes
on a bus you may find that a strong young man is pretending taking no
notice of a sick old man until another boy or girl gives his or her seat to
that old sick man. The young man must have seen that old man and have been
wondering whether he should cherish himself or the old man. He fails to
give away his seat because he thinks it reasonable to cherish himself. How
does such a mistaken choice occur? It is the young man’s unwise faith of
life that causes the mistake. With the unwise faith, he has never thinks
that he, too, will become a sick old man one day. He should have been wise
enough to think that he ought to be given a seat when old. That is, a faith
of cherishing life is not enough. We hope everyone has a wise one.
Should everyone have a strong wise faith of cherishing both life and
the gifts the universe gives, there would be far less accidents, deaths or
damages in the world. Live and cherish life, and you will enjoy your life
and love the nature, the families and everything round you. A strong wise faith
of cherishing life helps you to live to the last moment of your life with a
satisfaction at your long enough days of life. When the last day comes, you
can say you have enjoyed the truth, goodness and beauty of your long
enough life.
