The wisest way of life
Life is short and meaningless, and therefore we must live this
short life wisely. Those who only pursue their desires of the
flesh mindlessly are no different from the beasts that perish. For
what do you live? What do you think should be the purpose of
your life to lead the wisest way of life? Should you live for
money? For fame or power? For pleasure? Or should you live to
enter the everlasting Kingdom of Heaven rather than for these
ephemeral things of the world that will disappear soon?
The wisest way of life can be found only if you receive the
remission of sins first and obtain everlasting life. One may gain
everything under the heavens, but what use is it if he loses his
life? If your short life on this earth is lived just for your flesh to
enjoy fleeting prosperity, only to be punished forever in hell
after death, then you would be leading a fool’s life.
