We are leaving this planet one day. So why do hard work?

Are we really leaving this planet when we die?

We do not know that we will leave this planet for sure. What if life in this world is just part of a decathlon (or centathlon or whatever)? So, when in doubt, one may want to run as if a mad dog is chasing us.

We do not know if we are leaving this planet the day we die. For all we know, we could just be changing bodies when we take our last breath.

The leaking bucket

Seriously, consider this metaphor of a leaking bucket. We are all born into this world with a leaking bucket. This bucket, as indicated, is constantly leaking. The hole in the bucket becomes bigger when we do not so good deeds and becomes smaller when we keep doing good deeds in life.

So, whether we do hard work or not, we need to do good work, have good feelings for others, feel good when others win in life, help others win in life. Our hard work matters too, in this life.

Whether we like it or not, we are here. And we need to play this game called Life.

We can earn and make a lot of money and other stuff while we are here. But, ultimately our good work is what matters when we leave this world.

All our good work is a recurring deposit in the spiritual bank. All the money that we have earned instantly gets transferred to the spiritual bank, the moment it is put to good use, for the good of the society and the world at large.

Nature rewards the giver

Nature works this way. Whoever contributes to the sustenance and propagation of nature, is rewarded with spiritual points and our leaking bucket gets bigger and gets more inflow.

The best thing of all is that we get to take the leaking bucket with its content, with us when we leave. So, no need to worry that all the good work of yours will go waste.

So, the next time somebody tells you to kill, maim or be destructive, in the name of whatever, tell them, nature tells me otherwise. I will only be good to everyone.

Hard work or Good work or Both together, the choice is ours.
