Strolling the backyard has been a morning routine since my retirement. Smelling the jasmine and listening to the birds chirping aren't all I do. Refilling the water into the pool and using leaf skimmer to lift up debris and/or worms become chores. You'll be surprised how many lives I have saved. Sometime it mounts up to 10 plus. Today, one bee and a worm got picked up to the pool side and jumped right back into the pool water in no time. It reminds me of what we understand the moth's suicidal for the fire, which is his duty-bound mission in his life span. As for our human body, we are repeating the same scenario day in and day out without knowing it. The first Noble Truth from Buddha Sakyamuni explained to us "Life entails suffering" and "suffering stops when attachment does".
佛寶歌
人天長夜，宇宙黮闇，誰啟以光明？
三界火宅，眾苦煎迫，誰濟以安寧？
