By Dighayu
What is the meaning of a life?
This is a question of many.
Some may find the answer,
but it may be right or wrong.
Some even worse, until the moment they are dying,
they still wonder why?
By right, we can get the answer from the wise,
but there is another question, who is
wise
and who is not wise?
Even though we are sure that a person is
wise,
But he can only tell us why,
And we never really know what is the
meaning of a life,
Unless we have a good try.
Then we may realize, why people keep on
asking
what, how and why?
Just because they don't know, what is
the different between:
Right and wrong
Let go and attachment
Wisdom and ignorance.
Hopefully we will become wise in the
future,
And lead the fool turn into the wise.
Note: certainly I am not wise, because I am still asking why. 1993
