duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the pigeons that&#8217;s flying around.<br>Do they know their end of life?<br>I don&#8217;t think so.<br>They life day by day on instincts and don&#8217;t have the capacity of knowing life and death (bird brain?).<br>But they know their predators, such as crows and hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for humans, we don&#8217;t have such things.<br>Our predators are usually your peers and your friends, and sometimes your family.<br>You have to watch your back if you want ot succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what do you do?<br>Your life is your own and not your parents, nor your relatives.<br>You have to decide what you want to do and how you want your eulogy to be.<br>You might just drop dead now (very unlikely) or you might be hit by a lightening (less likely) or die from COVID-19 (death rate is less than 1.6% in the USA and under 1.4% in Japan) so also highly unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, you are your own boss of life.<br>What you do will reflect in your memory and will be part of you.<br>People you meet will change your life.<br>People who you don&#8217;t meet will not affect you.<br>What matters is who you meet and how you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

flowing from high point to low.<br>But your life is gushing and goes up and down, not only from high to low.<br>You blood stream is always running inside your body, defying gravity.<br>You meet people, and people meet you despite what you think of it, like defying gravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your luck and fate changes by whom you meet.<br>But at the end, you reach the end of your journey, your destiny catches up on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should live the way you want and not be told by others who you should live.<br>But you have to be aware that you cannot live along in the modern world unless, you become a hermit of life and live alone without anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s be honest to your own heart and listen to what your soul is messaging you.<br>I have seen so many discouraging end of life where family regretted their loved ones at time of death.<br>Now, we hve to stay put but if you can move, why not?<br>To me, other countries imposing strict rules is ridiculous.<br>Sure, the government want you NOT to move around and spread the virus.<br>How do you know you are spreading or NOT spreading?<br>You might die from falling down the stairs at any moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make your own story of life and tell.<br>Don&#8217;t waste your time listening to annoying comments.<br>You&#8217;re wasting you time listening to them.<br>Most will forget what they told you.<br>Go ahead and run your own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I
