  There are few questions that worth asking ourselves:
  
  1. Who am I? (after your name removed)
  2. Why am I here? (not elsewhere better/worst)
  3. What do I want in this life? (at last breathe before death)
  4. Where I come from & go to?(who decide & how)
  
  These questions prevail over our worldly affairs in this short life. Everyone pivot it over family, wealth, fame, power,...but none can tell us the answer other than ourselves to realize before our death.
  
  One way is to surf through many philosophies/religions at our free time. But which is True in this vast sea of knowledge? To avoid taking wrong path, we must always remember not to believe by blind faith, or thorough just reading/hearing, but to realize by practising and experience it. If we find its logical, harmonizing, improve goodness to all beings, increase others & yours happiness, and most importantly develop you to a higher state of ability to realize the Truth of life, then we should dutifully uphold it and confidently thread the path with clear mind in search of final realization of True Meaning in life.
  
  So what's your answer to those questions?

  Ask our Lord Jesus to forgive our sins and accept us into his kingdom... no regrets about what I have or not have done in my life... hopefully.

  Dear,
  
  Many people refuse to face the reality that we do live in a world of unknown(delusion?). And everyone tried to bury that fear in either traditional religion practice or chasing after some impermanent dream in whole life.
  
  But how can we be sure our believe is true? Every different one claim their God to be the only truth, its certain that billions of unlucky faith followers will end up putting their life in wrong hand.
  
  Hence there is an wise advise that we come across: "Accept my words only when you have examined them for yourselves; do not accept them simply because of the reverence you have for me. Those who only have faith in me and affection for me will not find the final freedom. But those who have faith in the truth and are determined on the path(to realize the truth), they will find awakening." And this Truth shall be universal to all beings goodness with no exclusiveness to one particular group.
  
  So what's your answer to those questions now?
