Young deaths have me thinking really

Covid was that moment for me. Life is short, you never really know who you'll meet for the last time in your life.

Best to make every moment count imo. I've been much happier with that mindset and living in the present. Best to disconnect from online reality more often.

Few things I have clarity about in life

*Be healthy -- so at least you don't have to spend your life savings on medical expenses
*Invest in land/gold -- anyway these grow irrespective of anything
*Keep learning a thing about business-trade in the market -- if push comes to shove and we lose our cushy IT jobs .. you'll have something to earn in future
*Making every moment count -- enjoy each moment you spend with family, invest in their happiness -- if something goes wrong in your in your career these bonds should be strong
*Be grateful for everything you have

@LooseGoose - care to elaborate on how you make every moment count ? Looking for ideas and suggestions on the same

Damn you make me think hard my friend

Completely away from this topic: In my opinion and honest opinion. Most of us as humans and specifically in corporate silently celebrate others downfall may it be health wise or a total demise. I saw it today in coworkers eyes as a common colleague was leaving the firm today the corworker who was not leaving was smiling from ear to ear and post when our colleague left he just said good thing that his mother died (mother of the colleague who left) now I will get promoted next year. And I was just standing there flustered like wtf and when I mentioned it in front of my manager she nonchalantly said old people will die I don't know why that colleague pussied out of consulting maybe he's not built for big4. I just can't understand that people have so many faces in corporate.

Now coming back even if we are taking care of our physical well being a focus should be on the mental well being as well.

I have learnt one thing the more you are humble at life and help around eventually you receive things 10x but if you are really competitive and not caring about what kind of events you're triggering in the pursuit of competition the consequences are dire.

I feel the same, what if I am worrying about the future which doesn't even exist. We should make each day a worth and enjoy every moment, that's what is a lesson for us.

Simple argument - Don't sacrifice your present for your future and if you really have to, then at least enjoy the present as much as possible so life seems worth living.

We live in a communist third world shithole of a country. We don't even get clean water/fruits/vegetables. If anyone lives beyond 40 years of age, it should be considered a miracle.

Sometimes it feels like life is a tug-of-war between the present and the future, and the weight of those thoughts can be so heavy. But maybe the secret isn’t in picking one over the other—it’s in finding little ways to honor both. A smile today, a small step toward tomorrow. Life is unpredictable, but that’s also what makes it precious. Maybe the point isn’t having it all figured out, but simply showing up for each moment, knowing that even on the hardest days, we’re doing our best. And honestly, that’s more than enough

Want to lead a happy life .live like a saint but a saint who leaves with the society but with no desire. Ultimate truth of human life is death so move with nature and in the direction of life at the end there is end to suffering and pain.
