The Endless Cycle of Pain
The first taste of pain and sorrow of my heart when I lost my pet chicken during my childhood and the observance of death around me had let me to constantly wonder why do human beings have such a life cycle. A baby is born, grow up, study, work, married, have their own children, grow old, get sick, and die. When one person die, say the parents, the children is sad and all crying. This process is never ending. It is an endless cycle of pain — children crying over the loss of their parents and the children’s children crying over the death of their parents in the future. Until now, it is still like that. Why is that so, when there are so much suffering, raising children, going to lose our parents in future etc etc but people still continue to have children, people still continue to live, work and be merry. If we know that life is as such, why do we have to bring more lives to this earth to let them suffer? This is what I thought of when I was in my lower Primary, perhaps as early as Primary one.
Questions That Have No Answers
This question never leave me at all. While traveling on the road, I question myself in the car, with my parents beside me. I always followed my parents anywhere. I would sit in between them. I never ask anyone this questions at all. It is just in my heart. Watching my pets died, the surrounding people died, I was scared to lose my parents too.
Going to Church, they never tell you about all these. What everything they said is all about God, but never on Life. What they say was all prayer and read from bible too. Sins are passed down, started from Eve and Adam…..and so on. But what is it all about then, an endless cycle. This is a never ending story of human pain and suffering.
These questions never seem to have answers. I continue my studies, read the bible and the only thing I can do is to pray. Jesus Christ seems to be the only one whom I can visualize more, since there is a physical body and statue. I prayed to Jesus every night for my parents’ health and safety as well as that of my brothers and sister, and family peace and world peace.
Life is all studies, play and family time. The questions never left me and now still exist. They were just put aside when there are so many things for me to accomplish. There were lots of things to do, homework, projects and examinations. There were ECAs too. Time just passed by so fast and soon I had managed to overcome all obstacles and completed my studies. I had set goals, telling myself what I want, and at the same time I had constantly prayed for it, seeking assistance from God or Jesus Christ. Come to think of it, what I asked for, I got it eventually.
