Just read finished 'the picture of Dorian grey' by one of my most beloved authors Oscar Wilde. The ending is so.... I shall not spoil it... But I felt it was too anti climax. Maybe I've got to read it a second time to graspe it.
That aside. It made me think to come up with the autonomy up there. Why do men always have to do something in life they might not necessary believe in...doing .for example, work. Work in itself is not bad, all men have to do their part to earn his wages for buying the daily dough. But what happens when that work is at the cost of others lives?
Be thankful if you were born in a family without a dept to pay. Your father bought the house and cars and the loans are all upon him. Why take up more burden upon yourself and be bonded to this world for decades more by taking a dept on your head?
Does this sense or responsibility to pay it off drive you? Do you go to work, to school, to social circles just to ensure you can repay what ever you owe to the world. It is a horrible sense of purpose to have for living! If only people realised that the was more to life than that. More to life than just pursuing materialism, fame and power. More to life than barely surviving past each day.
Oh how much joy we often forfeit, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!
