Even though, ... birth, life and death are the only three main events in a human life, ... thinking and talking about them have always been ... the major event.
Following are my thoughts ...
Birth may be a matter of a moment ... but it is a unique one... the nine months preceding any birth would, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of greater moment than all the ten years that follow it ...
... "a conservation of the human race" ... is probably a wise definition of the event.
Nothing defines Life as life defines it ... pain ... we begin to live when we conceive life as a tragedy ... a gentle slap in the rear ... look now into the mirror and tell me what you see!.. A slap! ... it is short time though ... that's why we do our best to make it long ... loving ... living the pain I guess ...
... and "it is a permission to know death" as a wise definition of the event.
Death ... is what Birth and Life are all about ... it is also the worst ... that's why it is saved for last ... it's also the most talked about event ... taught starting from birth ...
"breathe d*mmit" ... "we had to save the life of the baby" ... "cross the street after you look in both directions" ... "Hey!, the money or your life?" ... "Drop your weapons!" ...
15,613 dead in a quake measured 7.4 on the Richter scale ... HIV ... "a big disease with a little name" ... "Saving Private Ryan" ... 911 ... Daddddy!?
Booms & Bangs ... dust to dust and the rest is ... silence!
Know the strength of man,
But keep a woman's care!
Be the stream of the universe!
Being the stream of the universe,
Ever true and unswerving,
Become as a little child once more.
Know the white,
But keep the black!
Be an example to the world!
Being an example to the world,
Ever true and unwavering,
Return to the infinite.
Know honor,
Yet keep humility.
Be the valley of the universe!
Being the valley of the universe,
Ever true and resourceful,
Return to the state of the uncarved block.
When the block is carved, it becomes useful.
When the sage uses it, he becomes the ruler.
Thus, "A great tailor cuts little."
O&O, (... tear drops)
