I am definitely a person who's after balance in life. Hence when I'm having fun or feeling high, I'll always remind myself that I have to be reminded of the reality.

Sometimes, it's just out of pure concern, but when this concern repeats itself I'm actually creating stress for myself.

I was just looking at the "flying jets" at a carnival and randomly the phrase "All goes up must come down" came to my mind.

It's a fact and that's because of gravitational pull, but should one apply this saying to life? You can be having tonnes of un with some ups and down throughout your life, but in the end your life will end with a downward pulling force.

Is there no way to see the ending of a life as a happy thing? A fulfilling life- an interesting childhood, a fun-loving teenage life, a rewarding career, a blissful marriage and some end up with clever children but all should have to end with a dimly lit light instead of fireworks?

Maybe after all people say "losing a life" instead of "beginning of the afterlife".

Then maybe I can conclude that general humans are "half-empty" personals? And learning to let go of these tortures are the ultimate learning of all human kind? But does that sound like the teachings of all religions? Enlighten me. Because to me, Christianity and Islam is that there's a greater being whom will love and forgive if you've sinned and it's always for your good to share your love and kindness to those around.

I'm not clear about other Asian common religion like Taoism, Hinduism and Catholic though...
