Wisdom on How to Live Life (Book 3)

Humans being the most intelligent species and having lived on Earth for thousands of years, we are yet nowhere near to a life of peace, love, joy and harmony. This book contains a story of a young man, Tom, who had a fourth conversation with Guru Harry. This is a continuation of their first three conversations which are contained in the books “Wisdom on How to Live Life” and “Wisdom on How to Live Life (Book 2)”. Guru Harry epitomizes someone from a spiritual society who offers a way of living which can lead to peace, love, joy and harmony.

Through this fourth conversation, Tom learnt that (1) why we should live our lives according to our wishes, (2) why it is better to have morality than money, (3) why somebody who did ten good deeds is better than another who did one hundred good deeds and one bad deed, (4) what is the negative response we need to prepare for when we do good, (5) why life is getting harder and harder, (6) why it is better to solve problems with spiritual solutions than physical solutions, (7) why there is so much fear on Earth, (8) why it is better to believe that there is no heaven, (9) why masters do not directly bring heaven to Earth, and (10) how to build a loving society.

Singapore's strong points are now diminishing

Singapore had a few strong points for the past decades - an honest soceity and a clean and safe environment. These points have been eroded in recent years. We now see:

• stabbing incidents 
• blatant cheating in the financial sector - land banking, scams, lies in marketing
• flooding 
• fires in HDB flats

What is happening?

We have a large increase in population, with many foreign workers living in Singapore. Singapore is getting crowded, adding to stressful living. Some people could not find jobs to make a living, so that have to resort to other means. 

We do not have adequate people in the police force, fire service and other public services. Many people prefer to work for the financial sector which pays well (and they can pay well as they are making huge and unjustified profits from ignorant consumers!)

Is this the future that we want?

Misleading statements

Here are some of the misleading statements used by insurance agents to sell life insurance policies to consumers. These consumers actually give poor values, but the agents were able to mislead the consumers by pointing out to the wrong figures and giving the wrong explanation to the figures. Most consumers were ignorant and easily "taken by a ride". Sometimes, the agent tell a deliberate lie. In some cases, they were new agents and were misled by their agency managers - and they sincerely believed that they were making a good recommendation to their friends.
