Hungry for meaning
“Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power.
Those rewards create almost as many problems as they resolve.
Our souls are hungry for meaning,
for the sense that we have figured out how to live,
so that our lives matter,
so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.”
–Harold Kushne
It’s amazing to know that the things which we believe can make us happy if we achieve them; turns out to be an avenue of other problems.The word of God says”for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and looses his own soul”?
I strongly believe that it is only those people who have the fear of God in them focused and living balanced lives; who will ever live lives which are meanful.The same people will leave the world a better place than the way they found it when they are gone.
Otherwise success,money,fame,power etc is meaningless if it does not help us in realising this important lesson in our lives.
you have said it very well sis!
