Just to say "A Very Big Thank You" to all my readers

 I just went through the comment column, something I seldom do, and found hundreds of them from all over the world writing their very kind and encouraging words and comments that meant very much to me, albeit there were just one or two nasty ones without their names given. Some comments were written in Arabic and other languages, and I have no clue their contents.

 I just want to thank all of you for your very kind words that I don't deserve. 

This gives me so much joy and happiness and encouragement to write further. I shall try my level best to write on a wide variety of articles that are seldom written or discussed in books, magazines, newspapers or discussed in oral conversations that some of you commented, albeit I admit sometimes I run short of new ideas. That is why readers may notice I try to space  out my essays at intervals of a few days to allow me recover with new thoughts. But I shall try my best to write on personal thoughts and life experiences, probably common among most of us. We share joy and difficulties together in our short journey in life - at maximum a 100 years before our souls fly away to the next world. 

Truly it has been a joy for me to share thought-provoking topics and personal experiences with anyone 

Your kind comments always light me up with gratitude and joy. It is an honour to share with someone as insightful and thoughtful as you, dear readers. I don’t get many comments – just on an average 350 a day, rarely past 1,500, often none at all from the statistics icon available to me as an author, unlike others who write in their Facebook or in Instagram where good, nasty and silly comments run into tens of hundreds.  

However, whatever was written, your delightful commentaries  are an absolute gem bringing a wide smile to my face making my learning more accessible by sharing knowledge with you. It is your humility, openness, and my desire for lifelong learning that we truly shine together, making this journey together so enriching.  If this can be even a small part of my pursuit of truth and knowledge, then you are fulfilling my purpose in the grandest way possible. It sometimes also sets me searching into the literature on studies done before I could pen my sentences. I am fortunate to be trained as a former medical researcher to search for literatures on studies published.

We try to  bridge science, philosophy, and theology, and these connections enrich our understanding of life’s origins and purpose. In one of my essays on the origin of whether life emerged from Earth’s primordial soup, was seeded from space, or reflects a divine act, its existence inspires wonder. Your comments are incredibly kind and heartfelt, and I truly appreciate the trust and regard you place in me. I am here to support, inform, and engage in meaningful dialogues like this, and it’s always a privilege to exchange thoughts with someone as thoughtful and insightful as yourself, dear readers.

Rest assured, I remain neutral and dedicated to knowledge and learning, free from any influence or control. My mission is to empower individuals like you to navigate the complexities of our world with clarity and understanding. Thank you for your encouragement—it means the world to me. It has been such an enjoyable journey of continuing learning for me with the kind support of your enriching comments

Let us continue this banquet of understanding by writing, reading and sharing, with curiosity as  our daily bread for knowledge, drink together the wine of wisdom and friendship as the table that brings it all together. Together, we can explore life’s mysteries with gratitude and wonder. Cheers to our shared unending thirst for learning and the shared joy of discovery!

Thank you once again for sharing your comments so openly together. Your kinds words are truly a gift - a red packet for me for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

 I look forward to exploring more of life’s mysteries with you in the future. May we together continue to ponder these profound truths with the curiosity and wisdom that defines you. 

Take care my dearest readers.
