I have just finished reading The Sandalwood Tree by Elle Newmark. And it was a brilliant read. Not only did I learn a few things about India and its History, but I also got a couple of excellent life lessons.
And excerpt if you please:
"We choose how we will meet each day, just that day, and those choices, those days, they add up and they are our lives. But some day we're going to die. We don't have the time to be... like this."
and one more:
"vowing to scrap the rules and live a life of joy, no matter what the price."
at anther time, the main character has a discussion with a Buddhist and she asks him whether he thinks there is a heaven, and he answers (more or less to this effect): That he is not sure about heaven, but that he knows for sure that we were given this life with a purpose. And then, that to him the purpose of life is to live a beautiful life.
That is my wish for you all and for myself: To live for joy at all times, to drop the issues because there is NO TIME to get caught up all the stuff that keeps us unhappy, angry and resentful, and to end up with a life that can be described as beautiful, if nothing else.
