Sometimes, life seems to have a higher meaning. events unfold in uncanny sequences. long-forgotten acquaintances turn up with news that changes lives. a stranger appears and speaks a few words of wisdom, solving a previously insoluble problem, or something in a recent dream transpires in reality. suddenly the existence of god seems confirmed.

Sometimes, Life Seems To Have A Higher

Sometimes, life seems to have a higher meaning. events unfold in uncanny sequences. long-forgotten acquaintances turn up with news that changes lives. a stranger appears and speaks a few words of wisdom, solving a previously insoluble problem, or something in a recent dream transpires in reality. suddenly the existence of god seems confirmed.

More From Dean Koontz

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

It is so important to remember that, as we travel through life, there will be so many events which we can`t control. these are things that seemingly alter our lives forever or become barriers for living a life of fulfillment. it`s important to remember that the ultimate experience of life is not to be controlled by events. we all have difficult events in our lives - the loss of family members, economics, stress, litigation, government interference in our businesses, health challenges. remember that it is not the events that shape our lives, but, rather, the meaning we attach to them.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. they can never be solved, but only outgrown. this 'outgrowing', as i formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. some higher or wider interest arose on the person's horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. it was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.

The dividing line [between friends and acquaintances] is communication, i think. a friend is someone to whom you can say any jackass thing that enters your mind. with acquaintances, you are forever aware of their slightly unreal image of you, and to keep them content, you edit yourself to fit. many marriages are between acquaintances. you can be with a person for three hours of your life and have a friend. another will remain an acquaintance for thirty years.
Communication Thinking Years
The real achievement in discoveries... is seeing an analogy where no one saw one before... the essence of discovery is that unlikely marriage of cabbages and kings — of previously unrelated frames of reference or universes of discourse — whose union will solve the previously insoluble problem.

Let us thank god for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. let us give thanks to him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.

Similar Quotes
There are so many ways to be brave in this world. sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. but sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life. that is the sort of bravery i must have now.
