What if we don't know?

What if we don't know? 





Are we going to live on the same like mosquitos,  animals,  birds?


I suppose they do not know either.


But they are living very well like you and me.


Actually we do not know our final fate.


What will happen to the humans a million years later?


We know nothing but still we are living on.


The only difference is that we are trying to live in a better way.


And the more important difference is that we are trying to think in the context of a whole rather than an individual.


What is the fate of our human species?


I've only a few readers. Only a few will share this idea.


That we are still living without knowing where we are going or what will happen.


All we can do is hoping the best, and enjoying the rest.....

How are you to enjoy your life?


Where is the happiness in your life?


I can only assure you one thing.


Sharing is the source of happiness.


We live to share.


What are you going to share?


First you can share only to your 知己,  this is a Chinese term means a "confidential confidant"  some one you can share every bit of your thoughts with.


Seldom can anyone find a completely confidential confidant to share with.


Many can only follow, but few can share.


When I was very young, I followed Alexandre Dumas  (père).


He had told me so many things about life yet I told  him nothing.


It is only recently that I believe he knew me.   He must have known there must be some silly readers like me existed.


He had shared with me.  And I shared with him too.


I am happy with it.


It is very good to be a writer.


But what if you are not a writer?


Yes you can.


You can be a worker,  which is the same.


Your mind is in your work.


It is so wonderful.
