Passing Away

Hi frens,

I’ve seen memorials for some friends of my friends who have passed away. One from our Taiwan artist, another one from GreenPill Network.

Life could be short. Death often reminds me of how good or how bad my life has been going. My current job has been one of the most tiring jobs in my career. I often find myself exhausted after work. However, most stuff I have contributed is made possible or effective through teamwork. It’s quite different from “simply” being a software engineer responsible only for the product. So there’s been lots of collaborations or disagreements with people. And we live through it.

I see humankind as a whole, who has been trying to move things forwards but also backwards sometimes. It’s kind of like the entropy is naturally getting larger but we also try hard to dissolve the chaos. It’s all energy fluctuations.

However, from a personal perspective, how much effort does it deserve to realize our visions? I probably will always be a humanist to remind people (including myself) to listen, follow, and take good care of our hearts and bodies.

If we don’t care much about ourselves, why so serious about work? In the end, everything is going to pass away.

Your forever friend,

Denken
