Myself
In the past years' experience in traveling to various countries, I am always thinking of my life. How shall I spend my life and how will I end up my life. One of the friends I met during traveling is a Greek boy of about 35 years old at that time in loose white shirt and white pant when we talked. Through the conversion, I found that he had been traveled for a long time and his spirit and attitude towards life enlightened me. What’s the value of living and why we live by asking me a question “How will you like to die?” I scrapped my head at the moment and spent a few minutes to think of his question and I have got no clear idea of a solid answer. I can tell what I expect after my earth life, but I did not know how to answer the simple and important question if I have an option of the way of dying. About five minutes later, he was too eager to tell me his thinking; he would choose to sit under a coconut tree and end by a falling coconut.
He explained to me that even though the opportunity of a man's life ended by a falling coconut from the tree top is very rare. He liked this way because he could imagine that the moment before the coconut hitting him, he should have watching the ocean relaxed with peaceful mood and could enjoying the scenery in an island beach. The falling coconut is very hard and his life would be ended happily, which would carry forward to the eternity.
I was impressed and wanted to say “excellent” in my heart. After this, I am always asking myself what I want and need in my earth life.
