Pure Bright Festival

Today is Pure Bright Festival. It is commonplace in China that people visit their forefathers ‘tombs. It is regarded as one of the way to remember the people passing away. Every moment, numerous people are dying and more people are being born. However, the most vital thing is that we cannot figure out the principle of death and birth.
Fear comes from uncertain and ignorance. Therefore, a multitude of people are scared to pass away, especially those affluent or famous ones. In ancient times, some were crazy about finding one kind of herb could help live forever. Now, we try to expand humans’ age by biology methods. However, the truth is that we cannot stop ageing and refuse to die.
With the developing of science and technology, our life span has been greatly enhanced. In addition, with the promotion of the products and increasing of economy, we lead an increasingly high-quality of life. But we still don’t know why we need to die, where we should go after-death, and whether the circling exists. So most of people tend to live longer and avoid talking about the issue of death.
So our value of life is established in this way. Frankly speaking, we are afraid of death, we are afraid of change. Most of us are satisfied with the status quo although we need to struggle hard to make money. Most of us don’t know what is exactly going on after death so we are afraid.
This is why many soldiers even surrender or betray their country but eager to survive; this is why some patients suffering from great pains but hope to live; this is why all the big men are willing to spend large amount of money to live longer.
But changes cannot always be bad. Sometimes we change it, we benefit it. So maybe when we pass away younger, when we enter another world, more opportunities are waiting for us! Maybe when we enter another world, we may stand less pain but enjoy more comfortable life; maybe when we enter another world, we don’t need to worry about money problem and live happy.
So we shouldn’t read a change always by a detrimental way. How long we can exist in the world may have been written. It’s fatal! So there is no need for us to expand our life expectancy in ways as many as possible. And there is no use complaining for the long life or short life. We have to adapt to it. We have to try our best to do it. But also just do it. Do not ask what your life can do for you, but ask what you can do for your life.
In this special day, what we need to is to remember those who devoted their love to us no matter whether we acquaint with. Without them, maybe we cannot exist or even cannot be born. Meanwhile, we also need to mercy those people struggle hard to survive, especially those who still live under poverty and sill in starvations.
