This life is a borrowed one and the real owner of this life does not need any
amount of luxury for Him to lend it to us, we just need to respect it, nurture it and
groom it based on our own will and likes. We cannot immediately tell the beauty
of a certain thing unless we spend time with it. Maybe at first, life is empty but as
we explore and learn more things, we will realize that life is not empty at all, we
are just slowly discovering its hidden beauty. The sad thing is, there are times
that we think luxury is the same as the beauty of life that we blindly make it as
our purpose of living. We should always remember that life is not about
treasures, it is about seeking for the one who lends it to us with patience and
sincerity.
Leonardo da Vinci once said that he who does not respect life does not
deserve it. Life is short, that's why we wanted to grow up fast and rush things up,
but we tend to forget the real reason on why we wanted to grow up fast and rush
things up. We want a perfect life but we define it as a life full of luxurious things
that we forgot what life really means. Life is more than just a word, money, and
infinite happiness; life is about a painful journey of a penniless soul in finding an
absolute happiness in this materialistic world.
Murilla, Maneth R.

is like caring for our own family and home. This three set of values balances what I
needed most in my life, there’s a God that I should seek into, there’s justice that I
should always learn to understand how the world works and the love for nature that
gives me a place that I can live into.
