다두고떠나는게인생이다

​.담배하지않는다.

식탐食貪도없다.소박하게담백하게먹는다.

비가내리더니새벽이춥고그래서보일러를돌리고

한로寒露라는절기가지났는데

찬이슬이내린다는절기아닌가?!

그러다가서리가내리겠지요?!

강원도어딘가에서는첫얼음이얼었다고하니.


솔로몬이세상거다해보니그거별거아니더라고했던가요?!

그거별거아니다.

찬이슬내리고얼음이얼고하는때가당도하는데갈리는시간은잠간이다.

사람이평준화평균화균형의추錘가기울지않는때가오기마련인데

중환자실요양병원요양원,,등에가보면눈에확연히드러난다.

어느누구를보아도노인사람이다.

그이상도그이하도아니다.

그들을보며부럽다거나질투하거나시기하거나하는사람이없다.

불쌍하다는마음보다는눈길마주치는거조차도부담스럽다.


병문안을가보라.

노인병동을가보라.

누구나그렇게죽어간다.

자랑할거아무것도없다.

그저편안하게고통없이죽는게소원이다.

다시젊어진다는후진은아예없으니말이다.


살았다고

젊다고

돈있다고

권력과명예를가졌다고교만하지마라자랑하지마라

최선最善의삶을살도록노력하면차선次善의삶은살수있다.

악惡을친구삼지말아라

다두고떠나는날이속히도달하고만다.

떠난다음에욕먹는삶은살지마라

겸손하게낮은자리에서사랑하는마음

실천의용기있는삶을살아라

그리하면존경받는자리에오른다.


탐욕貪慾을버리면만사萬事가형통亨通하다.

죽음도두렵지않고평안하게눈을감을수있다.
