The video that i posted above... Its about five aged mens... about their dreams...

The video really showed why do people stay alive.... Everyone has their own little things that gave them meaning in life... gave them a realization that there are reasons for one to stay alive...

It's important for a person to have dreams... although dreams are well, called dreams... But a person without dreams would have lost their meaning in life...

Everyone, just for this second, take your parents for instance... look deep into your heart.... and place yourself into their shoes... their position.... why did they lived in the first place? For their parents... whom is your grandparents... they studied hard, worked hard for them.... and as they get older, they get friends, they get you... and they get more money of course.... But in the very end of the line, does having money really matters that much? Everything that they did and said to us... Was for us... Don't believe it? just think about it... what do they get for nagging and scolding you? So that you would hate them? No of course... its because in the very end of the line, you are what that keeps them alive... At our age not many of us may understand.... Because most of us are still young... but to many of those that has come to an age, they start to count eventually... count how many time does they have left... How long can they still be with you... To take care of you, and making sure that you are alright... And we as children, often do not understand their words...

Here is a short story... Once there was a mother... that was always helping out at home... and she always helps our with her children's laundries and dishes... and at a women at her age, her children often tells her "Why not just send our clothes to the laundry?" And she often reply that she wanna do it herself, but the thing is that every time she does the laundry, she nags at her children and says that shes the maid at home... Her children eventually gets annoyed at one point... But one day, when she was doing the same thing again, and nagging, one of her children realized... that she was doing this because of herself... Shes not doing the laundry for her kids, instead, it was all because of her, thats why she does the laundry all the time.

Well thats the end of the story, anyone guessed why?

Well firstly i have to say... different people have their own perspective of things... As for mine, the mother did all those because she knows that she is getting old... and one thing that all humans are afraid of... is that to feel useless... to have no use of yourself anymore in this world.... and thats why she wants to do the laundry herself even though its tiring for her... and secondly she nags and scold her children is because she can't accept the fact that her children are all grown up and are going to have their own life soon... She can't accept the fact that her role of playing as a "mother" are finally coming to an end... And to her nagging her children are a way to let her feel that she is still their mother, and they are still her baby.... Just like the day when they were born and was hugged close to her.... And to her, she had many things, and are successful in life... but in the end, her true dream was to see each of them to grow up and live happily... Her children in the end, was the reason of why she stays alive... Her children was what that gave meaning to her life...

Back to the video that i was talking about... The 5 mens, had their dream... they knew they couldn't have much to live anymore... their days were numbered... They could have chose to gave up, and end everything... But they had this dream to do what they once loved doing... when they were all young mens running on the beach like there were no tomorrow... just once more before it all ends.... they pushed themselves to the limit preparing for 6 months... for the 13 day trip... from one side of taiwan to another... to recall what was it that gave meaning to their life...

Everyone that we met in life,

and everything that happened in life,

no matter happy or sad,

are what that gave meaning to our life.
