Letter From Ancestor About Life

If I could rewind my life to start living over again. I would not live it like you living yours. I would spend much of my time offering services to humanity. Look around the world is in tremendous need of your help. You are full of stamina but you seem not interested in applying that energy in promoting positive thinking. Well maybe I am too quick to judge you. People make mistakes I had mine as well. Listen...

Firstly, I would take more keen interest in listening to words from my elders. I would not defy my parents' pieces of relevant advice. I would not try justify my wrong deeds and other views because I am only a young man who apparently needs comprehensive guidance. In listening to others, I would learn a lot of knowledge and I would also try to put the practical aspect of the same.

During my time, I never took life so seriously. But that does not mean I was stupid and timid. I was never naive either. I only made a fool of myself so that I could be humble in all my activities. I was known for my hefty laughter. I laughed loudly even at the smallest and unnecessary jokes. I even laughed at myself when I made silly mistakes. This way, I managed to re-examine my life every time I fall short of wisdom. You see, my grandfather used to make a lot of humor and he told us that laughing quite often prolongs one's life. Do you know we believed him? Well, I could not tell how this was possible, but he was a darling to many. People considered many things and concepts he said. However, he was such a strict man. He was feared and respected in equal measure. I would like you to emulate his behavior. He respected all people in the society including the young and women.

I want you to know that I love you and I would like to see well-behaved individuals. Avoid wicked company in all that you do. By bad company I mean, the friends that promote negative behavior and they usually find pleasure in hurting others. These kinds of friends do not add value to your lives they only jeopardize your growth and development. Do not worry about what people say about you. Ignore those who spread hate, life is too short, and you do not have to live hating anyone. I would not offer my apologies for things that do not necessarily concern me. However, if I hurt someone unknowingly, I would go down on my knees and ask for forgiveness.

Lastly, I would emphasize the fundamental value of life. I firmly believe the word love means a lot to you. Love your religion and offer your effort in supporting the praise and worship sessions for there is a supernatural being somewhere watching over you. As such, spread the same love to others especially your relatives. Love everyone without being scared of rejection. When the love is quite genuine, expect little rejection from people. Don't be in a hurry to find a lover, be patient with life. Everything will just fall into place with time.

I will continue watching over you.
