Yin &Yang, Good & Evil, Dismissal, 7th Month

What is good? What is bad? How do we define what is right and what is not? It is all based on our individual perceptions and it all depends on our life conditioning. What is heaven and what is hell? To some, heaven and hell are right here, depending on each life situation. To a person who is dying from cancer, his life may be hell. But if he accepts that it is part of his soul's journey, then it is heaven.

I have been going through some difficulties at work since 2004. When my husband and I told our Uncle in Singapore about it, he brought us to see a Master (Sifu) called Ah Pek. Now that I am faced with a dismissal on medical grounds and unemployment, I needed to seek Ah Pek's advice on what I should do. He told me not to worry, that my lifeline will be taken care of, but I needed to be careful in the coming 7th Chinese Lunar month (aka Month of the Hungry Ghosts) when Hell's gates are open and ghosts are allowed to come out to roam earth for a month.

So is my dismissal from the Organization I work for good or bad? It is neither good nor bad. It just have to happen, and with some difficulty, I am able to accept it and remain calm although part of me feels sad and upset. I may see it as upfair, but it may be the best possible thing that can happen to me right now. Who's to know?
