I am still an immature man!

A few days ago, I turned forty-four. I am a husband and a father of three children. I have worked in many kinds of jobs, places and positions. In other words, I have had no less experience than many other people of my age.

Since then, I should be a mature man at least for somewhat. Today, I examine by myself whether I am a right person in my age level. And the answer is - I am still an immature guy with prompt actions and reactions, uncontrolled talks and critics on the others, which are based upon endless emotions.

The Buddha always reminds that "to be mindful" on everything we act upon, in order to appropriately survive as a true human being. As soon as we lose our mindfulness, we die. "We die" hereby means - lost of our moral value, virtue, privilege, being a true human, etc, but not our bodies.

I have to compete by myself to become a mindful person.

I need to try to become a more and more mindful person each day as time goes by!
