Friday 04th February
A quick, and incomplete, summary of Fridays` conversation.
The need for continuing our selves, our identity confused with the need for having a child.
Is the love for an adopted child the same as that which one would feel/feels for his own born?
Despite not being the same (if that is the answer in your case), it is simply different and this does not remove any importance from either situation.
What makes a relationship a successful one? Is it the build up of many small moments, the web that is spun as all these small moments of unity and understanding come together? Or is it the big events, the ones you never forget, the ones that leave an impression such as sharing the birth of a much yearned for child, or making it through a very difficult situation, such that one involved in community work, and doing it together, relying on each other, leaning on each other, sharing with one another?
Do these two types of situations weigh the same for the success of a relationship?
Does one have more weight than another? Does this vary from one couple to another?
Philosophers would make the best fathers/mothers in a relationship since they have a conscious view of the situation, would not lose their perspective and so on yet they are the ones that do not want to be married!
Faith in ones` path may be what is so necessary and what makes one feel that he is living his life successfully/to-the-fullest.
The dying priest who gave his life to preaching others may not see the growth of trees whose seeds he planted yet he would (I believe) feel his life was well lived as long as he had not lost his faith.
The sammyasi who renounced to so many wordly pleasures and accepts, daily, more hardships than many live in a life, does not feel that he has lived a useless life as long as his ideals have always been unbroken. There are the famous stories of monks who would rather die than say a simple lie just because lying would go against their character, their ideals, their reason for life.
There must be a purpose in life.
What is the purpose of life?
If there is a purpose then why is it so difficult to find?
The best experiences are generally the hardest ones to have. Finding the purpose may be the pinnacle of this rule.
If you try, your whole life, to find the purpose of your life and you reach your death-bed without having found it then would you be satisfied in having tried the whole time? Would that be enough??
There is a very thin line between the deepest of unhappinesses and the most complete satisfaction that can be imagined which would come with finding your purpose in life.
