Love Gift

Christmas, chinese new year.

There's a spirit of giving and receiving in the air.

Especially for the unmarried.
Chinese new year is a time of an increased income for the month, not alot but still a few hundreds, well, i've heard of people ang bao coming in thousands of dollars, minorities, but still makes people jealous.

We give to somebody, because we like/love them.
Giving with an expectations of receiving something in returns, giving because we are obligated to.
Obligated to but you can still give out of joy.

Christmas, giving to friends, family members and even colleagues.
Chinese new year, giving to the younger generations regardless you're close to them or not.
In our chinese traditional, as long as it's CNY, and you're married, you're "obligated" to give to those who are not married regardless of how old they are, even though my mum is married for 20 over years, she still received an ang bao from her mum which is my grandma, giving out of love and joy.

But what are you preparing for your loved ones when one day, should you be taken out of this world?
Regardless it's by chance or by plans, it will come to you for no men escape death.
What are you preparing for your loved ones ?

I've heard a saying that since we're young and not yet married, we does not have so much liabilities so therefore we don't need so much death coverage, theoretically, you're right.

But there's much more in life then just your liabilities, it's a love gift you prepared for your loved ones beforehand, something which given a choice, we don't wish to talk about, but no men escape death.

This is a gift, a most selfless gift a man can give to his loved ones, when given, really, nothing in returns. But this gift shows your love, even when you leave this world, the love endures.

So other than your coverage just covering your liabilities, how much more do you want to love the people around you, how much more do we need to prepare for them, for when we are around, we tried our best to give them all that we have, what about when we're gone?

Today, we shall start planning this love gifts that last throughout generations.
From your parents, the same love gift can be shared with your spouses, children and even, people whom doesn't even know your name but whom you wish to do something for them, let this love endures.
