Marcus read a book: The 5 People you meet in Heaven.

Nothing’s so loud, as hearing when we lie.
True no?
It’s the 1st sentence from one of my favorite songs from the one hit wonder, Toad and the wet sprockets – All I Want.

What’s there to be sure about in this world?...
It bothers me sometimes, how a truth can be so well hidden, or a lie so truthfully spoken.

We loose loved ones. We hurt people closest to us. We strangle the air out of people we care for. Some of us know what is happening, but we just can’t stop… I guess it happens to most people... But we have to change, today, or at least try.

But that’s how the reality of things are on planet doom isn’t it? Full of pain and suffering and its never enough….

Life as it is, was given. In all the misery we are facing in this world, there lies beauty and many wonders well hidden beneath the materialistic and harsh face of this planet….
"God, give me the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to tell the difference."

After reading and completing ‘the Five people you meet in Heaven’ by the same author who gave you ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’, Mitch Albom. My understanding of Life has risen 5 issues, of which, we must understand - Consequences, Sacrifice, Forgiveness, Love and Purpose:

Every action we make, has a consequence, and so we must bear responsibility for it, even some things we do, are taken for granted, which lesser known to us, has a larger effect on life more than we ever will know…
God sacrificed his only son to save us, and we have to learn to make sacrifices of our own, to save or help ourselves and others. Sacrifice, however minute, is truly a virtue, we all must learn to make…
Forgive, because hatred and anger devours our soul, so we must learn to forgive as much as learning to accept forgiveness, forgive, let it go.…
Love is eternal, lost love is never really lost, and it will always find its way around, don’t give up on love...
and purpose, because every individual existence has a purpose, and we’ll need to live out that purpose, some don’t realize how important their purpose is or don’t even realize there is a purpose at all, but there is always one, be it big or small…

Thatz my understanding. Thatz how I will want to live now and some changes have to be made. For better understanding, of coz, you gotta read the book.
But just to make something clear, I am not doing a review on the book nor am I paid to advertise it…however, I am certain this book will bring some degree of light into some hearts….but it does take a little understanding and self-interpretation.

Well, we don’t learn to die, we learn to live.

To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
