Simple Living; Higher Thinking!


Today, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye is impeached by the nation's highest court because she was letting her close friends took money from huge Korean companies, according to news.

Once, I wrote about a new English word - FAID. We often do the regretful matters in our lives because of 'faid'. In this word, FAID, F stands for Fear; A stands for Anger; I stands for Ignorance; and D stands for Desire.

D-Desire has played in vital role for this particular case of President Park if all things those  have occurred were correct. Because of her desire or her will of paying favor to her close friends and probably to possess (inappropriate) money!

Then, I am thinking about the consequences those we deserve after we involve in a condition whether which is good or bad. Besides, the higher you are ranking, the hurter you are falling in this kind of scenario. Alright. Park Geun-Hye was a president of one of the most high profile countries in the world, nowadays.

As a follow up thought, I am considering about by myself. I, Oo Thein Maung am nobody in current life pattern, which I am possessing. Nothing to gain - Nothing to lose. Nothing to rise - Nothing to fall. Nothing to expect - Nothing to regret. Since I am not competing anybody, no one can defeat me. How grateful it is!

Please do not accuse me that I am living with culture or belief of Nothingness, though. An Arakanese Proverb (Roe Roe Kyont - Mront Mront Krang) teaches us that - "Live Simply, Think Highly." That is my principle. I am living simply or in the lowest level of world's standard but (sometimes) I am thinking highly.

Moreover, I would like to share a piece of my thinking and feeling with you that since I have nothing to gain, lose, rise, fall, expect, regret, I feel and see that I am in "State of Freedom". My thinking becomes clearer than by the time of - I am getting stuck with a position or money or something like that. I begin to feel and see the truth of a Human's Living, clearer than before through out the Buddha's teaching. Nevertheless, like I said, it is just begining. I still have to go farther and farther away.

Live Simply; Think Highly!
