mEaNiNg

Many years ago, I thought I had found the answer to life. That the reason man lives and rises above all the other creatures of the earth is because man is a meaning-seeking creature. For it is in that search for meaning that we really live.

Many years later, I learnt otherwise. That man does not live by reasoning alone. Rationalisations can only get us this far. Life is about feeling too. To live so that we really live.

My wise friend said, “You live and you plan. Living is not expecting. Planning is not controlling.”
