At my position, I am often asked by various people for some advices. People who need the advice of the third party often tend to ask for:"Which way shall I choose in my life?" However, I think either way will be fine in your life. Either decision taken by your own free will is fine, but make sure that once you decided it, you would walk learning on the way, on your own responsibility.

Frequently, I think of life like a rail journey.

I mean, the all passengers in the same compartment are families, and all passengers who board the train in the same wagon or in the next ones are fellows. It is just like travelling together while enjoying the view from the train.

Hard times occasionally come. In those cases, what you should not do is; seeing other trains which take over or pass by yours through your small window, comparing that one with yours and being envied not to board that one.

There are junction points in life, and you have to take a decision each time. And that decision was made up by you, yourself. However, forgetting that point of view afterwards, when you meet a hard time, you have an eye for others and regret not to do so that is absolutely wrong of you.

You selected your parents by your will, decided your family environment or your body by yourself, and even your partner or your job are the result of your own decision after birth. That is how you got a ticket of the current train and you remain alive now.

Even if you were a single, do not grieve on being without a partner. In fact, simply you had selected to be a single by yourself.

Therefore, it is unreasonable for you to think that some other reasons are causes for your unsatisfied life. Otherwise, your problem can not be solved.

Clearing the accumulated Karma from previous lives and learning love, these are the most important purpose of your sole journey on the rail called life. Though, you might not get on this train but on other one, joy and sorrow are chasing you as planned. In other words, the obligation subject remains as same no matter how view or passengers would change. So, it is wrong to grieve if you had ridden on other train, you could avoid your distress.

A good fifty years life time reminds me of various memories. To think of being lived through my entire life by the grace of all of them, I cannot stop feeling the sincere gratitude towards them.

I think, every child of God was given "The Free Will" by God in order to do that. Because of our freewill, we are allowed to be able to learn and be grown up with Love.

No matter which way you choose, it is fine. The question is not which you choose, but only how you have lived through and what you have learned on the way you chose.

Let us come back to the first argument, so as a conclusion, it is wrong to ask me which way brings you to the correct life. I reply "How do you wish to live? Either way is correct." "But, since you chose it, you have to realize your responsibility and live through it. Keep walking on your way. In these days, they say that many people are tempted to commit suicides.

I have just heard a new teacher of the elementary school had committed suicide currently. I think she was a too serious person. Perhaps, it was her propensity to take the things too deep and personally. It sometimes happens to humans to have experiences like being through the valley of the sorrow in a long lifetime. Then, you should better to take it easy and think of your life such as a rail journey with fellows on the same train.
Just think of life as travel without closing up yourself much but with setting yourself free in a good meaning to enjoy your life.

And the train stops at the station always. It stops at the junction station for the transfer. If you really feel standing at the dead end in your life, then you simply get off that train. And you should continue to live in easy-going atmosphere like transferring to another train and enjoying another life journey or another view.

Somehow it seems to be difficult for many youth in this rich nation, Japan so that they kill themselves intentionally though they have no economical or health problems at all. All I wish to say is not taking things too deep and serious but living through your life until the end. Remember, you could be born in this age after all, you should enjoy the travel in this life time on the ground like the vacation abroad with all good fellows.

Let me say once again. Knowing the purpose of life are the clearance of Karma over the previous lives and also the study of your own love theme, it makes me wish enjoying the view from the life train which I choose; enjoying wine with passengers in the same wagon, saying "Glad to see you" to one another, and returning to the other world with the experience of life journey without regret. This is how I often think of it.
