Everything is changeable everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
---The Buddha
------------------------------------------------------------When face with difficult people or difficult situations in life. Ask yourself this question, what if you are going to die at any moment, will all these bother you and will these people and situations still matter so much to you? Just when we have flu and fever, we can't be bothered to argue with anyone. So, always remember 'DEATH", it will help you to overcome many difficulties in life. Anyway, no one can escape death.

"What you desire in life is very important, and the realization that it’s important is an essential part of wisdom. All too often we hear that we shouldn’t desire anything, that we should learn how to just stop wanting. But as Ajaan Maha Boowa points out, the only people who have no wants at all are those who are dead. Even arahants have preferences. They would prefer to see people reach the end of suffering just like themselves. They would prefer to see people not harm one another. Of course their happiness doesn’t depend on it. That’s why they’re free. But the fact that they’re free doesn’t mean that they lack compassion or discernment or powers of judgment."
~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu. -

RIDDING OURSELVES OF STRESS
In this modern world, people are constantly saying, “Life is too stressful!” Why are people so stressed out? How can we rid ourselves of stress? Students feel stressed because of heavy schoolwork; parents feel stressed because they have too many chores and family obligations; policemen feel stressed because they have too much work; and workers feel stressed and are unhappy because their work hours are too long.
Every Buddhist should cultivate concentration, wisdom, right thoughts, and good reasoning. There is a Chinese saying,” When enemy troops invade, the commanding generals resist; when floods come, the earth will counter.” So, where is stress?
