Time is unstoppable, it will continue to move even when we are tired to move from where we stand, it will continue to move forward even if we have lost our passion in this life.
But this is the reality of life, when we feel that we have fought so hard, there are still many sharp pebbles that are still blocking in every step we have, when we have tried, there are still failures that come to us, there are still tears that accompany our path, which does not fit our expectations, especially when we enter these challenging years.
In families, when we are children, we feel less of a parent's attention, and as parents, we feel that children today are very difficult to educate, even though we have tried to do our best for them, then as we age, grandparents, we feel abandoned and neglected, we are lonely.
At work, when we are employed as employees, we feel our energy has been squeezed out by the company and vice versa as the owner of the company, we feel our employees are less dedicated and irresponsible, and just smart demanding. And when it happens to us, when we are struck with these problems, we feel as the most unfortunate creatures, as the most suffering people in the world. We immediately wonder why the world is so unfair, why should we be born to endure these prolonged sufferings?
When a series of events come in repeatedly and the question is unanswered, we are overwhelmed with extreme frustration, we feel so tired, we feel neglected, our bodies feel numb, our pulse stops for a moment, we are immediately caught in a dark room that is not once we know when it ends. Then, before it gets darker, let's open our eyes and hearts, let's take advantage of this time to reflect, examine and seek enlightenment from this little story, the carpenter in this story may awaken our hearts.
