The Chinese
has a saying that goes like:
“ 阎王要人三更死，谁敢留人到五更？”
“If the Lord of Hell desires a person to die at
3am, no one dares to keep him/her till 5am.”
Believe it
or not when a person is destined to die, many obstacles would present to hasten
his/her death?
My neighbor,
the late Mr. Lee in Ipoh was pretty healthy with no serious health issues. One
night he suddenly suffered from heart attack and his wife tried all methods to
call the ambulance service but the line just couldn’t get through.
It was only
that when Mr. Lee gave out the last puff of his breath that the phone line
finally cleared. By the time an ambulance finally got to Mr. Lee, he was
pronounced death.
As recalled
later by Mrs. Lee, she said that it seemed someone or something was blocking
the line even though she has made many calls. You may attribute that to one’s
bad karma or the person’s past life debtors came to take his life away. The fact
is that, when it is time; no other means can save this person.
Another
urban legend was about a late Hong Kong artist, Danny who was in comma for 17
months after he has drunk alcohol and medicine together.
A version
of story I heard was that the drinks was passed to Danny by his good buddy J.
Hence J was blamed for causing Danny’s death indirectly.
Again when
J recalled later, he said that there was a disembodied voice instigating him to
pass the alcohol to Danny. As J could remember, the voice said:
“Only if
you pass this glass of alcohol to Danny, all his problems will be solved!”
J also said
that at that night, he seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force and that
he just followed what was ordered by the disembodied voice. Well, true enough,
after drinking the alcohol, all of Danny’s worldly problems are solved in an
undesirable way.
I am not
going to preach, but if you have not done what you wanted in this life; then do
that as soon as you have the opportunity. For your love ones may not be with
you when you have the time.
