Things of the World I will not chase after shadows today. I will - TopicsExpress



          

Things of the World I will not chase after shadows today. I will not ask the things of the world to fill my soul. Any experience, object or passion cannot make up for, eliminate or otherwise fill up a hole within me. When I ask the world to complete my insides, I am asking it for more than it can offer. The world is limited in what it can give me. Bitter though this awareness may be, it is my road to truly enjoying the world as it is. When I learn the true value of worldly gains, what the things of the world can and cannot offer, I cease asking them to be what they cannot. People, places and things cannot make me happy. I have to do that for myself. It is my ability to use and enjoy objects, rather than letting objects own me, that gives my life its pleasant rhythm. I value things correctly. Every real object must cease to be what it seemed, and none could ever be what the whole soul desired. George Santayana
