LIfe and Living

First of all I have to thank to ALLAH SWT..My GOD..My Sweet Lord..The Greatest of All, Mr. IT, Sis. IF, and Ed who took me to the right time and the right place when this “lecture” took place. I think it is such a good thing that I have to write here just to share to everyone who (wants to) read it and especially for me as reason how to find the value of my life and living.

It was about a year ago when I first joined in the group at the company I work for. Sis. IF took Ed and me to see around the people who are connected and related to our business process. I can only remember few people who was introduced to me by  her, but for me that’s not the point, I think that was the moment when I could learn how the business run in my group and this company. Until at the end of our “journey”, she took us to see Mr. IT’s room and started to talk about life and living.

He was so familiar and very welcome to us. At the beginning, he thought that we were going to talk about some jobs or else, but Sis. IF told him that she took Ed and me just to see around the people and need some “lecture” from him for us as the new entry. Actually there are three points that he told us that I can remember until now:

·         Life and Living

·         Ego and Super Ego

·         Existence, Vision, and Decision

In this part, I only write about the first one. And for the others will be written soon (as it’s still reminded) at the other posts.

DIfferentiation of Life and Living

I was a little bit confused when he asked me about life and living. It sounded the same to me; it was just about how to pronounce them which one was suitable to the situation at that time I thought.   As he told us and surprised me, life is more about how do you want it ends? And living is more about how do you run your life. Which one do we have to start first…? Decide your life and then your living will follow how it runs to achieve that.  He gave me Mozart’s life as an example. Mozart is a great symphony’s composer; he created so many masterpieces and achieved so many awards from his creation. But he ended his life tragically he hadn’t any funds just even for his funeral. As we can see, there are some people who have a good life but not about the living or vice versa, ideally both (life and living) are in a good way.

This session realized me to decide how my life wants to be ended, because everyone must return to GOD and will be asked for his/her responsibility at the judgment day about every single little thing have been done in time of life. It was so interesting to me so I hadn’t much time to scratch my pen and write it in my book. Everyone should have decided their life, the problem is how about the living..?? Even living follows the life, but a bad living will takes the life into a bad way too.

As I can conclude (meanwhile), life and living are the two components which connected and related in reason- and-impact’s things. The decision for our life will take us how to run it as reflected in living. The living can take us closer or even further to the target that has been decided.  Life for a living or living for a life. Start from the back, how we want to end this life.
