Don’t Waste Extraordinary Thing called LIFE – Ziad K Abdelnour
Most of us waste this extraordinary thing called LIFE.
Most people have lived forty or sixty years, have gone to the office, engaged themselves in social
activity, escaping in various forms, and at the end of it, they have nothing but an empty, dull,
stupid life, a wasted life.
So for all the moral social morons out there who give me lectures...
You can be ambitious, you can be greedy, you can be competitive, you can be a ruthless human
being, but society accepts it, because at the end of your ambition, you are either so called
"successful man with plenty of money", or a failure and therefore a "frustrated human being". So
social morality is immorality.
Time to wake the fuck up folks and stop listening to Government, the saints, Mother Theresa or
the Dalai Lama... They know shit and cannot have any positive influence on your lives other than
useless and empty words.
Take control of your life before it is too late. No one will take care of you other than YOU.
I suppose I should wish you success, but that is too easy. I would like to wish you something that
is harder to come by and even more difficult than acquiring "Wealth". So I am going to wish you
meaning in life. And meaning is not something you stumble across like the answer to a riddle or
prize in a treasure hunt.
Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your
affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you; out of your
own talent and understanding, out of things and people you love, out of the values for which you
are willing to sacrifice something, the ingredients are there.
You are the only one who can put them together into that unique pattern that will be your life.
Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you. If it does, then the particular balance of
success or failure is of less account.
Thank you
Ziad K Abdelnour
