well, so far, it has been an enjoyable read
the book discusses about life, death, faith, love, God and all the other things that matter in life. and for some reason, these are the things that have been going inside my head for the past few weeks. coincidence eh? nah i don't think so.
"When we are born into this world, our fists are clenched; this is because we want to hold on to everything; however when we die, our hands are open, because we finally understand that we can bring nothing with us"
what is it that matters in your life? is it your work, your prestige, your impact on the world?
personally, i feel that the things in our lives can be split into big things and small things. Big things are things such as ambition, goals, visions, while small things are such as emotions and feelings.
However, whether the things are "big" or "small" does not reflect on their real importance on a person's life; it is merely what society defines it as.
The big things provide people with a direction, a goal to work towards to. It helps people who are lost in their lives to find their way. This goal may be to have a job which pays well, or to win something.
I feel that despite being able to provide direction for humans, the big things are unable to make people happy; on the contrary, it usually makes people more hollow; it sucks their soul out of them.
Remember the last time you came in first for anything. How did you feel?you may have felt happy, but at the moment, subconsciously you'll be thinking "that's it?" "i was expecting much more!" ambitions don't have the ability to provide a human being with internal nourishment. it drains them, it leaves them empty, to the extent that towards the end, you'll be thinking, maybe it wasn't worth it after all.
to be cont.
well at least that's how i feel.
btw pls keep it quiet
