“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross You don’t ever forget that your partner was unfaithful. You don’t ever forget that you lost a precious child. […]
[虽然我们不看那些看不见的东西,但要看那些看不见的东西。因为看见的是暂时的,看不见的是永恒的。Google translated] while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hidup adalah perjalanan sementara. Sebilangan besar pesakit barah mengaitkan barah dengan prospek kematian. Tetapi sama ada seseorang itu menghidap barah, penyakit lain (Covid-19, serangan jantung, strok, dan lain-lain) atau kecederaan yang tidak disengajakan, hidup adalah sesuatu perjalanan. Menurut Tuan Allan, hidup adalah perjalanan sementara.
Saya berjumpa dengan Tuan Allan di sebuah hospital awam dua dekad yang lalu, ketika saya seorang jururawat muda. Salah satu soalan yang saya ajukan adalah, “bagaimana perasaan anda tentang penyakit anda?”. Sambil mendengarkannya, dia berusaha mencari jalan untuk menjelaskannya kepada saya.
Ini adalah salah satu jawapan paling tenang yang saya dapat ketika itu. – Serena Chen
“Lihat kabel elektrik ini di sini. Ia terpasang pada sumber di dinding. Kehidupan adalah perjalanan sementara (dia menunjuk sepanjang wayar). Menghidap barah hanyalah sebahagian dari perjalanan saya. Tidak lama lagi saya akan kembali ke tempat asal saya. (menunjuk sumber di dinding) – kembali kepada Tuhan, kembali ke syurga. “– Encik Allan

[ “Kami adalah pelawat di planet ini. Kami berada di sini selama seratus tahun paling banyak. Dalam tempoh itu, kita mesti berusaha melakukan sesuatu yang baik, sesuatu yang bermanfaat, dengan kehidupan kita. jika anda menyumbang kepada kebahagiaan orang lain, anda akan menemui erti kehidupan yang sebenarnya. ” – Dalai Lama – google translated]. “We are visitors on this planet.

Today I saw this on social media. It aptly describes that as we age, we must still be moving, even if, SLOWLY!
keep going!
A decade ago, I was trying to persuade my special child to go back on a bicycle. I went up the bicycle to show him, “see, mummy can ride!” … after three decades of not being on a bicycle!
When it was time to get down, I panicked. “Help, I don’t know how to stop!” I had to keep cycling another few rounds slowly, trying to find the courage to stop.
I did…with my bicycle wobbling and slowly, I landed on my side with mild abrasions on my palms and elbows! 🥲
As I was falling, a neighbor sitting and watching us for some times, came running towards me. So did my son.
But both did not catch me in time! 😓
Keeping life momentum is like riding a bicycle, indeed!
altering political systems affecting families and society
the effectiveness outcome, too, depicts a need for stability; an equilibrium.

Quotes:-
A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales. – Rudolf Arnheim
Equilibrium is the profoundest tendency of all human activity. – Jean Piage
