The Paradox of Life

"We've learned how to make a living, but not a life."

As the world continues to develop, we also learn how to adapt and change in accordance to what the situation demands. Through time, we have improved our ways of living and formed better jobs. We have created numerous ways to make a living and immersed ourselves in working to attend to the daily needs of our family. Now, we are oblivious to the fact that working our heads off makes us forget how to live well and how to live life. We tend to focus on our jobs that we forget to spare time for our family who needs our attention much more than material things. We even forget our duties to God, the Giver of all things, just because we want to earn more money and do better jobs. This phrase really supports the saying that “not all that lives truly lives”.
