Teacher Stephan sent me a reply

“Dear Pin Yen, I feel for you in the pain and thoughts.

We are all equal young people, old people, all people and all need to be respected.

Without the elderly (parants, grandparents, great grand parants etc) we would not be here.

They not only had to care for their families and survive wars, famines, atrocities, injustice and so on…stoically survive and move forward through the uncertainty of life and time. Building our nations, economies and then meet so that we are born.

Did you know if we look back the last 11 generations or about 300 years. There were at least 4094 people who had to meet, give birth to a child which would grow up and meet someone else to face the lifes challanges, bringing children etc.

Where did they come form?
How many wars, famines, atrocities have they survived or not survived?

But also how much love, joy, dreams have they had and send to us down the line.

And how much strenght, endurance, courage and resilience have they left in us to move ahead in our lifes.

All we can do is to honore these gifts and take up their courage and strenght to forge ahead and make our lifes.”

And I saw Sasha’s send of this pix that I liked immediately and immensely

I wonder why

I am not sure why but I just wanted to watch this that I watched a while ago.

Particularly the part on Whitney Houston and the hit “ I will always love you”

“And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you”

And this kind of sums it up.

The question and the answer is the same: love.
