A Story of a Streak of Tigers

This story is about a woman fleeing a streak (group) of tigers. She ran and ran forever, but the tigers were closing in on her. When she reached the edge of a cliff, she saw some vines, so she climbed down and clung to them tightly. Looking down, she saw a few other tigers waiting below. At the same time, she found a mouse was gnawing the vines to which she was clinging. At that moment, she saw a small cluster of beautiful fresh strawberries so close. The fresh strawberries emerged from a clump of grass. The woman looked up, then looked down, and looked at the mouse. Then she broke off a strawberry and put it in her mouth and slowly enjoyed the strawberry flavor even though there were tigers below and above her, and her clinging vine was in danger of being broken.
This was the toughest situation of life and death that any of us may ever face. Maybe this might be the only remaining moments of our lives. It might be the only strawberry that we can enjoy. We can choose to despair in that situation, or we suddenly awaken to enjoy the fun and feel the preciousness of every moment that we are alive. Please cherish and enjoy every second of your life.

Life can be filled with great splendor, but it can also be more miserable and unhappy. Feel the beauty and grandeur of gratitude to support and encourage our life and to open for us a wide landscape that is more beautiful filled with but more energy for us to live happily. We should feel inclusive, but if we feel smug and are filled with self-esteem and hold contempt for others, we will feel that we are the center of the universe and want to be like that forever. Then the splendid will be gone and be mixed with craving and addiction. On the other hand, the suffering aspects of our lives will make us more humble, as well as softer.
Knowing and feeling pain is an important factor to be able to be present for someone else. When you are feeling sorrow, you can look straight into the eyes of people because you have nothing to lose - you are just being there. Suffering makes us humble and gentle, but if we only feel bad, we will collapse from a stroke. We will be desperate, depressed, and sad. Therefore, we will not even have strength to bite into a strawberry. Beauty, splendor, misfortune, and misery are adjacent to each other. One aspect was inspired to raise us up, the other was to make us suffer and be softer, both of them are aspects of life in parallel.
