The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..

 

My Saturday Afternoon ...

I just setup the dial up access to my ISP from my office laptop in my study room as my old home PC is confirmed dead. This is the first Saturday afternoon we don't need to setup for HopeKids LIVE! on a Saturday. I did some day dreaming .. what if today I also do not have to prepare for the message tomorrow; What if I will have no visitors for dinner in the evening; What if I do not have to go anywhere this afternoon, or wash the car, or take care of my kids or do the grocery shopping ?

Quite a nice thought I should say .. But then i thought a bit further, what if I don't have anything to do anymore for the rest of my life; What if i spend the rest of my Saturday by myself .. listening to music, eating and watching movies ? What if I don't have a purpose? .. hmm not quite as nice I think.

I think the problem with people is that all of us want to have a life of purpose but is pretty scared of the work that comes with it. So.. therefore many lives have been left unlived. The irony is that those who are living life seldom appears afraid but on the contrary those who are cautious about living it normally appears rather terrified.
