The Meaning of Life

In life often we have to face with reality, reality that often hard to accept...
I learn this trought a hard way. However more than only reality, i would like to write about standing upon what you know is right...
I wrote this in the few days at the end of my college year, for a long time i always has to stand for what i believe and often it create conflict with people around
often people with religion being accused for standing for what they claim as "truth" and on the same time forcing that "truth" to be accepted by others...
But often i asked my self, this argument make the other angle seems not as good place to be either...often because of "trying to please people" we let our conscience fade for the sake of making all people happy
I just learn a new things this morning that in life there are only two things that human can do, it is to choose between sacrificing your own benefit for other's sake or sacrificing other's benefit for our own sake. Second, to apply that decision in life....
It just too bad many people i know decide to choose the second option. To sacrifice other people for our own sake. We are ready to do whatever it takes, even if that mean we have to sacrifice other people feeling, other people property, other people relationship, even other people life for the sake of our benefit.
Well, isnt that what is the world is all about today? Isnt that what the nature law is all about? The strongest is the winner....
However, i wish i can think like that...i wish i can be fitting to that concept more because honestly i really hate conflict and people that hating me for choosing the other option...but it just too difficult for me to do so...
Every gift from God are made to benefit others not us. If we are prettier than other God require us to use that beauty to benefit other that are less beautiful than us. If God grants us with more possesion than others, it means He requires us to share that possesion with other that are less rich than us. If God grant us with wisdom, and knowledge far more than other it means He require us to help those who are less smarter than us.
Every single gift that God granted us, is made not for us but for others so at the end they will glorify Him...
Our hand are created to give a loving touch to others, our legs are created to walk for others, our heart are made to benefiting others and not ourselves...
if only more people understand this...this world will be a different world....
