WHAT DO PEOPLE LIVE FOR? A Journey

Friend, Butterfly, sent me this clip. I have seen it a few times and somehow the clip (What do people live for) struck a huge cord with me .....

What do people live for? I know this is a cliche topic/title. Many will scoff and say "oh yeah, what do ya know?!"

"Yeah, yeah, here he goes again!".

I may be thinking differently for the past 3 years because I am over the hill now and I am looking at life in a slightly different light. I would not say that my dreams are extraordinary. I certainly have not been able to live my dreams yet.

Or do I know absolutely what I am living for? This is a BIG TOPIC that all of us including me, constantly grapple with.

I am just like you. I am looking, feeling, searching, experiencing, it's a great journey.....


I see my dad who is 83 years old. I have never discussed with him what his dreams are. I do not know if he wants to talk about it. I am sure he is comforted that his family is well. He is very committed to his art of writing documentaries and he has a wide social circle. He loves his family. I am sure he looks back on his life and he is happy with some of the things he has achieved in his life.

The point is God willing I will be 83 years old one day and I hope by then I would have lived my life (more fully than I have now) and seen some of my dreams come true .....

Family, friends and our loved ones are what make our dreams come true ....... I hope we can love them and cherish them more ....... before it's too late..... the clip is simple yet sends a powerful message.

Part 2

He is 81 yo. His wife is gone. One other friend when they were young is also gone. Out of 7 in the group there are 5 left.

They are no longer youthful, they are sick in their bodies, they are dumb founded and at a lost. They meet and are sour. Enough is enough. They go back to their dream.

For 6 months they get themselves ready

Then they set off, on their bikes; from North to South, from day to night, 13 days around the Taiwan Island, 1139 km, for one simple reason.........

TO RE-LIVE THEIR YOUTHFUL DAYS

TO REMEMBER THE DEPARTED FRIENDS

TO SAY YES TO LIFE

TO LIVE THEIR DREAM
