The True Essence of Living June 30, 2006

This poetic piece was written while I was waiting for a friend who happened to be a priest. McDonald store was the location and I drafted the poem using the tissue papers(napkin) served after buying a meal. So, while waiting for about half an hour for my friend to come, I was able to finish this simple and free verse poem - Existence. I was inspired to write this while thinking of my friend who is serving God forever. With his devotion to our Creator, I was reminded of how we lived our life on earth for the past years and years to come, and searching the true meaning of living!
Existence…
We always question every sad moment in our lives, but we never ask why happy moment exists.
We always see other people’s weaknesses, but we ignore everyone’s strengths.
We always doubt our own capabilities, and never believe in one’s potential.
We always see failure, a threat to our undertaking, but not using it an opportunity to succeed.
We always complain why there’s pain and suffering, instead of enduring it for victory and happiness.
We always search the true meaning of human existence, without finding the true essence of God’s holiness.
