何处惹尘埃

"菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃"

The above chinese saying often offers us a enlightened perspective of our lives when we are faced with tricky situations and unsettled temperaments. It examines the very origin of the "causative agent" disrupting our lives, and isolates it from the pure and untainted natural blank slate that each unique individual possess.

Humans wield powers of imaginations, visualisations, dreams, fantasies and even glorious ambitions. All these innate desires orientate our mental posture and galvanise our actions to achieve what we seek out for. Sometimes, overwhelmed by emotions or impatience, we might tend to go overboard and lean towards the irrational demeanour. I think it is always good to constantly re evaluate our mission and purpose in life, no matter how distant are we from our goals, or whether we have any for that matter.

It acts as a check and balance for us, to ensure that we are not leading over sensationalised lives or exhibit extremistic behaviour. Humans are slaves of their emotions when they get feel a great deal of any emotion. It is this balance that is easily tilted, such that human relations can be so precariously hung in thin air.

This is not to discourage anyone to feel strongly or passionately for their dreams, it is merely a reminder to those who tend to act based on their emotions. No human is perfect. We are creatures which behave so uncertainly and unpredictably.
