Lanu, I am deeply sorry to hear about your mom and your friend. I hope that you are finding peace with each passing day.

This is an inspirational piece Lanu. I love the examples you gave in the parable. I too believe that we should love and help each other while we are alive and well. Our vessels should also be full so self-love and self-care is also needed. In the end, we should feel fulfilled about the life we lived. Thank you for sharing this insightful article with us.
