On their Deathbed

You'd probably have heard of grave robbers in ancient times, doing an Indiana Jone's feat, raiding tombs in Egypt or China and getting away with their valuable loot. A case of robbing and desecrating a grave in the Sungai Chua Christian cemetery in Kajang, Malaysia shows clearly that grave robbers are still very much alive and kicking. It is reported that the grave of a 64-year-old man, Liow Yun Zhao had been broken into and the mobile phone, watch, two rings and cash of about RM100 from three wallets which were buried with him were missing. Liow reportedly had also converted to Christianity two days before he passed away. From time to time, there have been cases of Chinese here converting to Christianity on their deathbed. Wonder if there have been cases of people embracing Buddhism in the same situation...that is, when they are on the deathbed.

Some months ago here was steeled the remains of a popular artist (Mike Bongiorno). The family thought, the thieves wantes money -but they did not appear. Why they needed those remains???

They can steal their bodies and their souls too if they are valuable. But are the bodies and souls that valuable?

The heads of the humans are so complicated to understand... Sometimes is unpossible to find the reasons.

Sometimes, you'd wonder if they have a head at all!
