I was crying about a sad life story of a motherless boy who tried to find love all his life.
A well educated, smart looking , responsible IT professional , Lived 2 failed marriages, disappointed and finally channelled his love towards the justification for the Farlun Gong. His last word to me was:( in translation ) ' I did good work '.
I was able to tell to his face that he has been a good man, everyone loves him. He did good work indeed........
We had dinner 3 months ago after I heard about his news of seperation with his 2nd wife , That was a badly cooked dinner, unliked all of the other nice ones we had. All because he changed his mind to suit my pick, my reason for picking that restuarant was because it was the closest to where each of us live. We could have gone to the other one that he suggested.
We parted with the promises of future freedom to meet for more good dinners and intellectual challenge, then he went on his trip to Israel, where he suddenly fell ill .
I wish I could have one good dinner with him before he goes................. I had been believing in his getting well, I knew he has the determination and trust ..............this has told me that , blind faith fails.
but aren't we all blind ? Arn't we all only see what we are capable of seeing ?
Karma makes us see only what we are capable of seeing.............
To day , I visited him in his home, possibly for the last time. He could hardly speak or recognize all of the visitors but he looked at me in big grin and uttered his last word to me.
My sadness lies not just on him leaving, I cried for his unattained love he looked for .

TL, I didn't quite understand...I thought you were watching a tv movie..it must be so hard to write when one is so sad..
So many people passing..especially recently, maybe it's an age thing as well..baby boomers? How many people can say they had a good or a fulfilled life when they die?
For the past 3 years, I keep asking myself whenever I feel upset or hurt : Will this matter on my death bed? What really matters to me is different than from you or maybe not, who really knows.
How many people really loved? Did we really love? Do we really know what love is? Does anyone? Why this why that. Did I love enough? Was I loved enough? Did I give all? Did I give too much? Did I give too little?
So, for now and for most of the life I have lived, I do the best I can. That's the best I can do. And I share, I share with those who may want to listen....And I listen. In hopes that maybe there may be a smile, a ding moment, illiciting compassion, sometimes sharing feelings of injustice and feelings of frustation. Like my son says: whatever.
But to live , without regrets.
I dream again
