I used to look forward to Christmas, Birthdays & Thanksgiving and all of those occasions, and one day I asked myself the question,"How come we just celebrate one day, when it should be all year, everyday?"
Now I celebrate Christmas everyday, Chinese New Year everyday, Birthdays everyday, Mother's day everyday, and these celebrations that I experienced allow me never to forget the true meaning of these holidays. It's not just to be happy for one day and to give on one occasion, but to have a life of giving which is much better than receiving.
I don't know what changed me, but I suspect that it was the detoxification that went on for over 50 years. I got rid of all the old biases and I finally concluded that Christmas ought to be celebrated everyday, just like Deepavali, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya... And if we did that, we would promote harmony between us all.
A special thanks to Siok Khoon for her unwavering dedication.
All the very best,
