I guess routines are okay as long as we're not stuck with it, maybe as long as we recognize that there are more to life than what society dictates...

Is it just me? but sometimes I feel when I think too much about life, I feel like I’m going in circles… and for some reason routines keeps me sane, makes life a little simpler at times… and then, after that “non thinking moments” I have more questions about life more than ever…

I guess routines are okay as long as we’re not stuck with it, maybe as long as we recognize that there are more to life than what society dictates…

"We must be aware of Death, in order to understand Life." Death is the only thing we are sure it will happen, but in order to be able to live, we must forget our mortality! LOVE, THELMA Thank you Paulo Coelho for the beautiful story.
“We must be aware of Death, in order to understand Life.”

“We eventually distance ourselves from them; and then we are forced to confront loneliness”

” we end up asking ourselves whether such an effort is worthwhile”

there is no other way ! freinds who ‘give up’ are merely postponing what they must undertake, time is no constraint, because on universal scale of things time does not exist. everyone must confront lonliness, and sooner the better !

it’s like this
imagine a box full of butterflies, a huge box filled with cocoons. slowly the inscets emerge from most cocoons and the whole huge box is awarming with these insects. now each of these insects have a potential to develop wings, be beaytiful and enjoy the freedom ( and dangers too ) of flying in sky. humanity is like that, each one of us will have to become beautiful, will have to develop wings; but unlike butterflies where there is no free will, mther nature gives us free will, we can remain like insects of as long as we want, for as many births as we want; but we will have to raise and meet our destiny, we will have to develop the wings, and it’s a solitary process; not that lonly also, there are ‘like minded’ people at every level.

so let’s rejoice and rededicate ourselves to a life of meaning, a menaing which is not readymade, but which we have to give it.

one can postpone but one cannot prevent one’s enlightenement !! and also teh efforts required for it.

I've realized a lot of things after reading this selection. I'm going through a difficult time right now and my enthusiasm to fulfill my dreams is not the same as before. but yes, we should still be thankful for all the blessings. sometimes, it's better if "we just let things be" and try to learn as much as we can from all the challenges. thank you, Mr. Coehlo.
