Heaven or Hell on Earth?

An Insightful View from Philosopher, Educationist and Entrepreneur
Jimmy Teo


We cannot buy time
We cannot bring back lost time
But we can record the present time
For the future, via writings, photos & videos
And we should do so
If we can
And we should for posterity & history.

The surety of humankind
Is that someday we will die,
Its just a matter of ‘when’
And could be soon;
We cannot take our ‘Tomorrow’ for granted.

The happy preoccupation of time
Requires us to recognize our fragility
As well as our ability to influence others
Especially our friends, family & fraternities
For either good or bad:
The choice is ours.

Greed, dishonesty & love of power
Are the pillars of hell on earth;
We need to avoid their lures
To relish peace & contentment.

Heaven can be in our heart
When we do good, think good
Not willing to hurt anyone
By words, actions or thoughts
Radiating heavenly peace
Within & without;
Felt & appreciated by all around us.
