STOP!
I was happily browsing for Stephen King's books when I told myself..
What happened to Me that loves to find out about life?
What happened to Me that wakes up greeting the world with a smile?
What happened to Me that wakes up thanking God for another day?
Then I found a book..
The meaning of life.. not I do not know the meaning of life, but I just want to check if I'm on the right path. Guess I'm now way off from where my intended route is.
And so I was flipping the book, admiring the pictures of animals that perfectly complemented the words that followed..
I came to realised that many people do not know the meaning of life. Indeed there are more than one reason to life but not having one at all is like having an empty soul; it has nothing to feed on.

Why do we feel drawn together as a species, yet we steadily build up defensive barriers around our innermost feelings and beliefs so we can never be truly close to anyone?
We all have filters on, so we mostly see only what we want to see. When you finally open your eyes, you may be shocked at the obscured way you have been viewing the world to suit your own little plans. With those filters removed, you can take a closer look into yourself and ask objective questions about the universe and your place in it. In other words, investigate the meaning of life.
The only theme that resonates throughout the numerous popular life theories is love. Love, in all its fragile forms, is the one powerful, enduring force that brings real meaning to our everyday lives. It's well documented that a broken heart feels far more painful than squeezing lemon juice over a deep paper cut.
But the love I mean is the fire that burns inside us all, the inner warmth that prevents our soul from freezing in the winters of despair. It's the love of life itself. It's the voice that says "Celebrate life, be creative!" It brings with it the passion and understanding that some things in life are worth dying for, but there is so much more worth living for. This love of life leads us to help others simply because it feels great to contribute to those around us.
It always intrigue me how the answers are in us all the time but due to some reason or another, we refuse to acknowledge what our heart is telling us even though we know it is right. Maybe what we need is the occasional push to drive us forward, to keep reminding us as to why we live.
