Today 28th September will be my last week before i end my job as Temp.Field Staff after 6 months working. The point is, there's nothing much i have to do within this week. Maybe God let me to have a peaceful break before i began to work next month. hehehe...may be ^__^. Due to my free time, so I read some readers stories on Mother Teresa (M.T) (I guess my viewers could be bored reading my blog because many times I wrote new post and M.T's name always appeared in my blog. Well guys, what to do. She's my inspirational and lots of my thoughts is through her words too. I'm not going to be holy but she's really inspiring person for me and for you also right?)
Actually, my thoughts today was SIMPLICITY. Why? I've read on some readers stories on M.T and suddenly my eyes captured on these word. It's remind me of my phone welcoming note "simplicity-the foundation of my life". I like it.:-). but at the same time it also remind me of the fight between my closest friend and me. We argued so much on this word. My friend really disagree with my opinions on simplicity in life. I hate it :-(.
I still remember his arguments on life. "Life should not just simple or ordinary". You have it all and why should you let go all the opportunities of great life? ..that was really poked my heart and of course i felt down. As if being insulted and my point of view on life is not acceptable at all. Who is he to judge my point of view?? hey, that's my views and it is my way. Is it wrong for me to choose the way my life should be? Do we have to live as greater, as richer, as luxurious as we could? Even though we can afford a greater life but is it necessary to live in that way?
You said that human should have great life especially in today's world of Science and Technology advancement. In the past children doesn't have good life, not enough foods(nutrition), no proper clothes and lack of education. I do agreed with you but i don't agree when u too over-greater in life. As if 'all are all great'..But for me simple is more than enough..yes we need proper food for the next generation so that they will have good health, stamina, energy and so on for their study. But is it achievable enough when we have a very great and luxurious life? Do you know exactly what is the meaning of great life? Do you know how to live happily with a luxurious and greater life as you said?
Not all people in this world have greater life in term of money but they still live life happily. Money is not everything my dear. Of course you can buy many things in this world and you can buy this world also if you want. But you cannot buy true happiness and true love because both are not a things to be bought. Both are to be sought and to be appreciated. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. We may have different views in life but differences always make things perfect. Indeed,nobody is perfect! my life will be simple as i want it to be and your life maybe not as mine but no matter how different we are, we still living in the same world, same earth, same universe. :-)
Have a good day dear.God Bless you in whatever life you choose.

Thanks Suzy. Enjoyed reading your post. I guess different people are different and people can agree to disagree as they say, "lain padang, lain belalang". Guess your friend may have different views.It is often the idea of wealth and richness is the one that is different. My once cent opinion ah, I always believe that the rich are not those who have lots of money but are those who don't need money. There is a difference there. The true nature of man is in the spirit of selfless sacrifice and service to humanity. Just like Mother Teresa. She once said that - We must not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, we need hearts to love them. - This is so fundamental, i think. The sacrifice that goes with service is the true meaning in service. It is wonderful to write a cheque for a million dollars if you are a billionaire but it is far more meaningful to give your plate of rice to another when the only food you have is that plate of rice. The true station of man is when he realises that service to humanity is service to God and that is the best way to thank Him. And to be able to serve others is really a gift to us. Just my 1 sen thought..Thanks again Suzy...
