When did you live!

We got but one life, and what we do, waste it utterly in
Chasing Aspirations, that die , only to give birth to more. Till in the end it all loses all meaning.
Living in a way, which aims gaining approval, recognition, and appreciation of others, which is temporary, and does little for you.
Living in remorse, guilt, repentance of the past or worries of the future.
finally the rat race, in which days, weeks, months even years pass, before you cant even count. After reaching youth, journey to marriage, children, middle age and retirement is so fast, you have joined the company of the retired with the dissatisfaction of not having enjoyed life, not having lived.

So friend forget the past, it never happened, dont brood on the future, it will never come. Today is the day you got, eat drink make merry. Find time for family, walk in the park, playing silly games.
The child in you must not be silenced. The day he dies, you become a zomby too, tracing the beaten track. That child is the you-ness of you. He is your originality. He is your imagination. He is the joy of your life. Watch a child, he never walks soberly, he runs, jumps, dances, falls and if not seen picks up again from there. He is having fun.
Once in a park at evening i saw a poor child, barefeet but happy and singing, playing with just a polybag, swinging it in the air.
It came to me, that with time the cost of happiness will keep rising. To attain same amount of happiness, he will have to make ever increasing efforts and spend more and more, till he can attain it no more.
Be that child to have fun, spoil the child, enjoy more, who said you cant walk in the rain.
Be free! Tao is Freedom! Freedom is Tao!
