Sunset beauty and sunrise beauty

Young people should be like sunrise beauty that can become brighter and brighter with its hope and innocence shining themselves and the society fully and unconditionally. The old people should be like sunset beauty that is getting browner and darker with its maturity and smile of wisdom leaving everything and everyone with hopes and nice dreams to do like them.

To achieve such beauty, both the young and the elder must practice Dhamma (Mindfulness-Based Vipassanaā meditation) so that you can be freed from sectarian philosophy and belief.

We have to eat the time by developing wisdom so that we can become wisely mature and wisely grown up. Otherwise, we will be eaten by the time in stupid maturity and dishonest smile.

When we are eaten by the time, just old age, sickness and death will be left but when we eat the time by developing wisdom, wise maturity and smile will be left and the young will be inspired and encouraged by our wise maturity and smile.

I hope that everyone learn something from gazing at sunset beauty and sunrise beauty everyday.
