Passion
Sunday, April 8th, 2007This is a story of a people digging up water…
there’s this huge group of people in the desert… at first they were at an oasis with lots of water. but eventually, oasis ran dry and the group eventually had to dig up water to provide for all the people in the group
so there they were digging, digging and digging… every person wanting to work for the benefit of the other… but then one by one, people started to stop digging…
each time that one person was able to get a bucket full of clean water while digging, the person stopped digging because he said that he had enough water in the bucket and he was satisfied…
the other people did the same thing…. until eventually, there was only one digging…
now what was wrong with the story? most of the time people keep saying that they want to do something for others but deep inside, they just want to do something for themselves. it is not passion, it is selfishness… we keep working hard until we get what we want and then we stop and leave the other people who have not gotten what they want to do the rest of the dirty work… what the hell is that?
eventually, more water was found and it gave people hope again. but then they weren’t satisfied with what they had… without even thinking that they had a lot of benefits already… so they kept digging for more and more and more…. until they hit rock bottom…
