RE: What's Life Telling Me?

in Reflections6 days ago

To me meaning of life basically comes down to what the Jamaican woman said in the old movie Meet Joe Black: "Take that nice picture you got in your head home with you, but don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too. If we lucky, maybe, we got some nice pictures to take with us”

So basically enjoy life and appreciate the small beautiful moments that we have. Sliding down the snow hill in a sled with your daughter or enjoying great time on the beach with your family. Small stuff like that is what makes life meaningful.

Did you take enough pictures in your head before your time is up?

Sort:

I was talking about this with my daughter yesterday, and how our attention focuses on the larger things, missing details. I used an example of the tulips on the table and asked what colour they are. "pink". Is that all? Look closer. and then she started to see all of the different colours in the petals.

Never.
