People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

조용한 모습 속에서 남겨놓은 글 한편을 떠올려 본다.

What is Life?
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a bliss, taste it Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is costly, care for it. Life is wealth, keep it. Life is love, enjoy it. Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it!

삶에 대한 정의를 남겨 놓고 떠나는 마지막 순간들...
< 인도에서의 국빈에 대한 최고 대우는
군대 트럭 타고 장례식장을 떠나는 것이다. >
테레사 수녀는 이제 영원한 안식처 천국으로
미련없이 훌훌 단신으로 떠나갔다.
그녀의 몫이었던 사랑과 실천을 이제는
후대의 몫으로 단단히 남겨 놓고서...
우리에게 생(生)이 무엇인지를 화두처럼 남겨 놓은 것,
그것을 씹고 또 곱씹으면서 오늘을 열심히 살아가야 하겠다.

첫댓글 오는 길은 같더라도 가는 길은 너무 너무 다양 한게 인생인듯 싶다 ! 최소한 자의(어쩔 수없는 타의와 천재지변을 제외하고는) 로 어처구니 없이 생을 마감 하지는 말아야 겠다는 생각 ! Life is Life! fight for it! 가치있는 것에 매진 해봄이...
