All people want to know about one thing - why do we live … What is the meaning of a particular person's life?
According to many, the meaning of life, like a bright Sun, should illuminate the path of life, illuminating it ahead. Happiness and harmony can then, finally, fill the one walking along this path, and the knowledge that life is lived with meaning, and not in vain, will save a person from doubts and negative experiences. This is so tempting! But after all, there is only one thing - to find this Sun-meaning!
And the man goes in search. Someone is looking for information on this issue from the older generation, someone in the textbooks of various universities, someone in smart books, and someone at personal growth trainings. Attempts to grab and keep at least a ray of the Sun star beckoning the imagination turn into a person's endless race for knowledge, but they do not fill them with harmony and happiness. An overabundance of information does not cause pleasure, but toxicosis. Instead of joyful fulfillment, a person falls into despondency and melancholy.
Why is this so? After all, everyone sincerely wants to see the Sun! And he does everything possible for this.
Maybe this is because
Someone looks all the time under their feet, all their life they are afraid to stumble. And he does not see the Sun
Someone, looking ahead, runs all the time, all their lives afraid of not being in time. And does not see the sun
Someone always stands still and looks up with concentration. Blinded, he does not see the Sun …
Or maybe for other reasons …
Will each of them ever find their own Sun? And what is needed for this? Let's wait and find out …
But they say that there was once such a story:
“One person lived recently or long ago. His head was always lowered, his shoulders were hunched over, his gaze was doomedly directed downward. He never lifted his head up, since for this he had neither the desire nor the need. Nothing in life brought him joy. Everything was gray and tasteless to him. This made him very sad. He was offended at everyone for this and showed with all his suffering appearance how bad his life was in this world.
Because of his constant complaints and tears, people were less and less willing to communicate with him. But he managed to blame them even for that. And, finally, he had no one left to complain about his bitter fate and injustice around.
He was left all alone. The loneliness made him worse and he began to cry. First he cried a puddle, then a lake, and then a whole sea of bitter tears. He did not have the strength to stay afloat in this salty-bitter sea, and he sank doomily.
Sinking to the very bottom, he began to say goodbye to life - habitually gray and tasteless. All the grievances surfaced in his memory, leaving no room for other feelings. The wadded body - arms, legs, and torso - sprawled limp on the sand. Intense fatigue from a useless and dreary life did not allow even the fear of the coming end to arise. When his head touched the sandy bottom with the back of his head, his eyes opened for the last time with an empty gaze.
This gaze unconsciously rushed straight up to the mirror of water. The rays of the Sun pierced the water there, boldly piercing and decorating it with multi-colored sparks.
What is it? What is this light? What kind of rays and what kind of colors?”- instantly a lot of questions flashed through his head.
"I want to see it! I want up! I want to swim! I want to swim there!"
For the first time in his life, this person forgot about his hardships and grievances against other people. He had no time for them. It turned out that life is colorful, and you can look at it from different angles, and not just with your head down!
Surprise from what he saw, interest, desire to know and live overwhelmed him. From new sensations and feelings, the body was filled with strength, and the heart with forgiveness and love.
He gathered his courage, pushed off the bottom and began his journey towards the captivating Sun, watching how the world around him is decorated with bright colors from everywhere penetrating and all penetrating rays …"
They say that this Man still lives, maybe you met him, only he now looks, smiling, directly into the eyes of other people, and they say that the Sun is now shining in his eyes.
People ask him what to read or do in order to make their eyes shine like that, and he always gives them one answer:
