Death Industry:

The thought of dying due to illness or tragic accidents are never positive in our minds. Death is imminent for humans, either we like it or not. Sometimes we could escape death based on life saving situations but luck runs out.

Our final resting place or after life is what most people plan for. For some folks that have a bit of extra money in the bank, will purchase a resting place for themselves and for the future generations to come. Land and location of a cemetery would come to mind.

Scenario #1:

Buyer: “Please tell me what I need to do to have a beautiful resting spot in this cemetery?”

Salesperson: “Well, our cemetery are just like all other cemetery around the country, it has this PPD system.

Buyer: “Could you explain to me, what that means?”

Salesperson: “Pick the spot, pay for the spot and then die. This system has been around hundreds of years. It is foul proof.”

Moral lesson: You must pay for a beautiful final destination. All beautiful destinations come with a hefty price tag.

Life Cycle

When tree leaves turn into different hues of yellow, orange and brown…it symbolizes changes to the season of Autumn and signs of the upcoming Winter Solstice.

Winter symbolizes dormancy to plants, animals, and humans.

What we don’t realize is that everything and everyone on this earth has a life cycle to complete on its own pace.

When something or someone dies, they are going back to the earth and has new life somewhere.

We can’t always control life and death, but with acceptance and resilience; we can survive.

We as humans, could only control what is within our reach…which is within ourselves.

Stay within course, we all have a purpose on this earth; make it a worthy one.

Real Estate Sector:

Scenario #2:

Sales Agent: “Welcome to your dream home. Look at the beautiful architecture, all the lines, curve appeal and a sturdy White picket fence. The all-American dream.”

Me: “How do you know about my dream home? Are you psychic? What if I am not all American?”

Moral lesson:

Having assumptions that everyone wants the same features for an ideal home is very taboo.

Scenario #3:

Anyone who has a keen interest in architecture and houses, we would share similar perspectives on the external and internal features. When it comes to house hunting with a Real Estate Agent, I would inquire about the unknown history of the house.

Me: “Are there recent deaths in the past few decades inside this house?”

Sales Agent: ” By California law, I am legally obligated to disclose deaths within the recent three years. I have to apologize, what you are asking is beyond that time frame. You may have to conduct your own research on the history of this house.”

Me: “I am a spiritual person, and I want to communicate with the dead on the dark side.”

Moral lesson:

If you believe in Feng Shui, it is ideal to know if lingering negative energy exists. After all, a house is not just merely a roof over your head.
