Sometimes it might be right, that a smile, a little word can actually change your day around. Or the person next to you. But I think this is what we are all looking for. This is what we are all searching. It is not the work we live for but because work takes up so much time of our life, our view on things gets clouded. But love, appreciation and kindness are the things we want to have in life and Hans is very right that we should be generous with it while we can. Because at some point we might not feel any of it and our world will look dark and gray. And it could well be the one odd smile you just send out to the world which makes someone else’s life a little brighter.
I think behind all our strive for happiness lies the one goal in life. Finding the one person, the one love. It is not that we could ever define who this person might be or how this love will look like, but when we eventually find it, we will know. With so many people on earth, it is probably quite unlikely that everyone will find the one person he or she was meant for. But when we have the chance to share our life with someone, and be it only for a certain time, we should try to share a little bit of our happiness and luck by just being a little bit more friendly to the world and the people that live in it.
So, January is approaching its end very quickly and this means the first 31 days in 2009 will be over soon. And we are continuing to share our limited view on earth here. Yes, as Eyal wrote, our view here is quite narrow, but on the other hand, we all have to deal with the little things (as they are compared to the huge problems of the world) in our lives. Which in a way means we will continue to try to open up our view and sometimes look up from our life to the grand scale of life.
Greetings
