This is called Fairy Tale because we all have ideas of what our life is supposed to be and we spend the rest of our life shooting for those ideas. We put a lot of effort, like shooting a movie for our life. Rinse and repeat continuously. But what is the real result for life? Where is our life heading? The Enlightened One taught, that transcending this life is the ultimate concern. Why are there sufferings and regrets? At the end of life people might realize, all the achievements and success may not be the Way. Where I am heading next is the ultimate! What is the common teaching from Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius, and Muhammad?
Not just to live in this life but how to use this life to reach eternity.
Hopefully, we can treasure each day to make our life more Holy, so one day we don’t have to wake up and realize we have been living a life of fairy tales.
