365 Days of Wonder

-
I just read the Introduction part of R.J Palacio's 365 Days of Wonder.

  Something in it made me to pick up my Laptop,Open Blogger and write this post.
Trust me, a 'Book', making me to do this, ain't a simple matter.

This book consists of 365 precepts (One for each day of the year).
Precepts means, " A General rule intended to regulate behavior or thought."

 A thought occurred to me. Since this book consists of 365 precepts, why don't i write an essay about a particular precept everyday ?! For ever precept, I would write my views and opinions regarding it.

Writing a Post a day doesn't seem to be much of a problem. So, why don't I start right away ?



My thoughts on the First precept given in the book will be discussed in the next post.

The Never-ending Pursuit !

Will a man EVER be content in his life? . . . . I really don't know. Why is that we have this wavering mind? Why do we fail to make ourselves feel content with what we have at the moment rather than being in a constant pursuit of so many materialistic things in life? Like monkeys. we keep jumping from one branch to another throughout our life without settling in one. We are never  satisfied with the house,phone.car etc we have now. We always want more and more in life. Even an animal's gets it's appetite satisfied once it eats its prey. But we humans aren't. The more we eat, the more our appetite grows. Is this what Life is all about? Running behind these materialistic things ain't life. Life is all about being content and happy with what one has. Why buy 2,3 properties or 2,3 cars while you can be in only one place or use one car at a time ? What do people achieve by acquiring all these stuff ?

Who am I ? Why was I born ? What is my duty? Why should I live? Ever wondered why you were born in this world ? Do you even know what you are supposed to do in your life? I don't know how far my post will create an impression in your mind. You may find it good and interesting  or you may even find it to be lame and pointless. But I wish it triggers your mind to think for the betterment. ____ There are 3 most important stages in a persons life. 1. Youth - Where one usually dreams  a lot about his future. 2. Middle Age - Where one usually finds himself drowned in work, family etc 3. Old Age - Where one retires from work and spends the rest of his life happily by relaxing. Lets first talk about the Youth age. This age comprises of the teenagers and post teenage persons (20-30) Generally, Such persons dream a lot ! Yes, they  dream a lot about their  future.
