What If The Moon Fell On Earth

Someone just post an intriguing post on Facebook entitled "What if the moon fell on earth?" The post was equipped with vivid video of the possible scenario. Needless to say when something the size of the moon crashes on earth it will be like two aircraft carriers collide into each other. 

The result will no doubt be devastating. But what is interesting is not what will happen when the moon does crash on earth; but why we should even ponder such 1 in a trillionth scenario and start worry about it. Life is simply too short to worry about something that may not even happen.

Such is the modern lives that most people live with. Life somehow has lost its meaning and we are constantly searching for extraordinary events to excite our boring lives. That explains why movies such as The Avengers and Lord of the Rings are so popular throughout the world. Apparently our lives are too mundane and lack of colours.

It is also why depression is so common nowadays especially among the city dwellers. Life has become too complicated. We simply have too much stuff on our plate that we are likely to loose control at any time. Life is so challenging and demanding that we resorted to escape into the virtual world of movies; games and some people unfortunately choose drugs.

To overcome this modern day spiritual disease, we need to continuously feed our mind with useful information that can help rebuild our crumbled lives. We should stop reading news that don't help with our learning and growth but will add to our worries and suffering. We should read more motivational books or autobiographies of successful people. We should exercise more (at least 3 times a week and one hour each time). We should establish relationship with people with positive inner values and stop hang around with people who just want to kill time. We should go to the church or temple more often. We should read the Bible or other religious texts at least half an hour a day.

The mind is our sacred garden, if it stays idle for too long guess what will happen? Weed will start to grow in our sacred garden. Those who have done gardening before will know that if you leave the weed to grow for months, soon you will have hard time trying to get rid of it because it has grow roots deep and wide throughout your garden. The easiest way to get rid of the weed is to constantly pull them out and plant your garden with productive plants, flowers that you enjoy or fruit trees. And it is a continuous process that you must always keep an eye for some new weed that will crop up every now and then. 

The same theory applies to our mind. We must feed our mind daily with constructive and positive information that will help it grow. We must exercise our mind by thinking logically instead of worrying about stuff that may never happen. So will the moon crashes on earth one day? May be but so what. Are we going to start worry about it today knowing that we have absolutely no control whatsoever when it happens? Why not think about what if the moon does not crash on earth instead? Will our lives be better off? You bet!
