I usually like to contemplate everything around me, I am rotating with all others in the same daily life circle.

Sometimes I pause and think for a while, does the life really deserve all of these sadness, hassles, arguments, fights, killing,.....etc

Some events all of us see everyday:

- Malaysian civil plane dropped down intentionally via people from Ukraine - 300 hundred people passed away.
- Israel attacks Gaza by navy, aircraft and ground forces and hundreds of civilians passed away.
- Two coworkers hate each other hardly because of jealousy and hatred.
- Someone killed another because he did not get his money back which he lent earlier.
- Girl hates her sister, boy hates his brother,......etc.

People are so keen about the life like they will live forever, I am not against working hard or being ambitious, but why not people to live the life in peace and love, why it is full of pain, hatred, jealousy, fights and conflicts. No one will live forever, we are visitors and will leave the life sooner or later, no difference then between poor and rich, doorman and president, all people will be turned to dust.

May be I cannot express well what I want to say clearly but I tried to explain as much as I could.
Thanks for this!

Hello, seawhale. You ask pertinent questions. I think the problem is the result of not having the availability of current publications of How to Live For Dummies.
Thanks for this!

I googled "how to live for dummies" but nothing much, could you please further explain this?

Hi, seawhale, I think he was stating that there should be a book for dummies but no one has written one yet. It really is a good idea. Of course, if everyone just lived by the Golden Rule the world would be a better place.

Great contemplations, seawhale.

Thank you for bringing your thoughts to share with us here.

Princess agrees with glok's offering of one reason why and gayleggg's suggestion for a book of the same title. Shall we perhaps endeavor as a group/common effort to write said book? .

It is interesting to contemplate if co-writers could agree upon the content, come to consensus in the process? LOL. Fun to think about nonetheless. We could hand deliver a copy to every political, government, corporate, education, etc office in the country --- just for starters.

Thanks again, seawhale.
Thanks for this!

I agree. A book is in order!! All in favor? Say, Aye!

I'm in agreement about life being like this. Why so much turmoil? Catastrophe? For every sad, heavy hitting news story, I would prefer to find the matching goodness. Good post.

*Returning back to pondering*
