The Spider's Thread

                " At the end of the day, whatever you did, the good ones matter most".

        Upon reading the story about the Spiders' thread, this is the very thought that I came to realize.
In our everyday life here on earth, we were given the freedom to live our life to how and what we want it to be. We are the ones who is responsible for our deeds, since we are free to do what we want and to be what we wanna be.
         
        However, it doesn't mean it is fine to commit sins although it is hard to resist because there are points in our life that these things can't be avoided. But then again, we could not deny the fact that we still have a choice. It is our final say if we would be sinners or not. 
      
         In relation to Kandata's case, the main character in the story, he made his choice. As he took his journey on earth, he chose to become a sinner. He have made a lot of mistakes as human as he is, and commit faults that were unimaginable. But despite of those bad things he have done in life, still, he manage to accomplish a single kindness towards other's life. He saved the life of a spider.

           So, because of this thought, Buddha gave him a chance to be saved from the bloody hell.

          On the contrary, Kandata wasted that chance as he chose to forget the goodness in his heart that he possess and for the last time be over-ruled by selfishness and greed.

          Now, for that cause, I really am certain and aware that in the last minute of our lives,  CHANCES for us to CHOOSE "who we would be" and "what we would be" is CONSTANT; we just have to remember that "what matters most is the GOODNESS in our HEART".
