“Live for yourself and not for others, follow what your heart tells you” I could understand this common passionate saying as deep down inside, we all need to be nurtured, refreshed and empowered. If we want to move on in life and make good progress, we have to take our minds off what people say, think or even try dictate, and just fix our eyes on our goal and ambition.
Yet each of us is not an entity or stand-alone, we can never separate our existence from our friends, family and community. Our conscience tell us that we cannot afford to be selfish and that we our lives are not our own; we are accountable to people around us, especially our loved ones. How we act and what we decide to do have an impact on the happiness and unhappiness of others. Our lives seem to be all interwoven together.
Yet another intriguing contradiction in life.
