Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
– Bertrand Russell
This quote that i found in the net really got me thinking about life….It is a very simple thing that is made complicated with many things…
I guess it’s right about the part in life we are always longing to look for true love, knowledge along the way and if we are a true human with a right mind, we do feel pity and sad for those unfortunate ones…
For me, I enjoy this first phase in my life not knowing what is infront of me. I guess it is better that way as sometimes its a beautiful or pain surprise. It beautiful, keep it as memories…If sad, take it as a learning point and never repeat the same mistake again!
My journey still have a long way to go…What i’ve learnt so far is not to depend or wait for something that you don’t know if it is coming true or not…Go with the flow of life and experience it yourself, that will be better than holding on to somthing uncertain…
If that something is for you, it will never run away and will always be waiting for you at the place it should be…
