Today, I was asked by someone about the meaning of LIFE. It's a simple question with a difficult answer....indeed !!!
A quick glance:
JOURNEY...UNPREDICTABLE...CHALLENGING...DREAMS
But actually, what is life like? Different images present themselves. A frequent image, found throughout the centuries, is that of the wheel. The metaphor of life as a wheel helps us understand not only the longing for happiness but also happiness ‘temporary’ nature.
Happiness, loss, suffering and hope are four images of life. Because the wheel is continually turning, we can assess our present position and look ahead to where we will be next. If we are presently happy, it will not last. If we are falling, it may get worse. When we are suffering, we may get through it to rise again in hope. Happiness will be regained, but the wheel also continues to turn. The cycle is repeated, and such is life.
