As we grow in age and wisdom, we realize that life is multi-faceted. There are different ways to understand it. But the question is not about listing the ways. What is important is the willingness to understand, which many people find it hard to do.
Sad to say that only few people give their best to understand the multi-faceted of life. If only people will make the effort, then there will be a genuine dialogue that leads to peaceful co-existence. Perhaps, it is not only about peaceful co-existence. It is about making our life meaningful.
This is Christmas season, which is a season of merry-making by children. Christmas is not anymore for old people because they have already surpassed the merry-making stage. This season must be a reminder for old people to get into the reality of life towards the essence of Christmas, that is, Jesus is born for us.
People may not be able to understand this essence of Christmas since they have different outlook on it. But only when people understand that the season is what made for us, then life as a whole becomes meaningful.
Have a very Merry Chrismas!
