Hi All ! Hope you'll read this topic.. Lately I always think about this so much.. Most people in the world just wolk on their life like river, just flow even never think about it's flow.. Like our life, do we need to think where we want to go, what path will we choose, how do we will survive through that path, what really we go up personally 'till we die ? Let's share your opinion about this.. I believe every person has his/her opinion or way to face this problem, depend on culture and education we had.. I'll waiting for your comment and we'll start our discussion.. ;)

It is important because without knowing who we are and what we are, how can we get to the next steps in our lives?

Yes it is important.. many people acknowledge that too.. but somehow, many of them just say it is important but never try to do that (self enlightenment) or do not know how to achieve it.. what will you suggest about this ?

hello, niceone! Life is either difficult or easy as what you think of it!There is not a exact definition of 'wonderful life'. Everyone has each own opinion, some think money and power is the symbol of success while they try their best to chase for it; some may consider ease and peace is happiness while they enjoy themselves with not so much money! All right. No matter what style of life you choose, effort is necessary, and each have to plan for oneself. It maybe not the words written on the paper but a thought in one's mind, and it's enough! Everything has two sides, there are people who think so much that they cann't do the proper thing in the right time. Too much consideration baffles them. So i think one should considered carefully when on the crossover of the life and then come on without worry.

Yup.. like that.. life somehow is like mirror.. it reflect our mind and turn out into reality.. As I watched so far.. I agree with you.. There are people who chase money and power very much.. Ignore everything as long as they can achieve their goals.. There are people who think happiness more important compare other things.. But here ask you something.. Does everyone need to fill out himself with wisdom ( to think, to talk, to act, to response) whatever their goals.. (money, happiness, knowledge, power, etc ) ??

I think people try to educate themselves throughout their lives, some find they like to enlighten their lives. Others are happy with their lot in life and have no intereset in improving their lives or their knowledge. It truly depends on the person individually. I myself do this, then I go onto that, and then I find this. I think I am an addictive personality and when I find something I like I thrash it, but while researching that I find something else. I'm always trying to further myself. I do think it is important as people need to grow.

Yes you correct too Jay ! Every person has his own way ! Why do you think it is important for people to grow ? Seem like it really interesting if we just enjoy the life.. not disturbed by anything in the world, just flow like river.. what it return to our choice once again.. Life is choice.. whether we want to flow or not.. I'm still searching and learning here, ask you a matter.. do you have final destination to go.. ? what most important to you in your life.. ?
