Everyone Has Atleast One Life

In this world of trial, happiness, toil and pleasure, it is sometimes easy to lose track of the essentials, which is when a wake up call is necessary.

 


 

Whoever you are, wherever you live, whichever continent and nation you are reading this from, you are a human being. And because we live in a society, we have so much in common that we can predict a lot about anyone. For instance, you, reader, either believe in religion or don't. Further on, if you believe in religion, it is likely that you believe either in some sort of afterlife or in rebirth or both, depending on your religion.

Truth is this: if your God or gods exist, or even if they are all nonexistent frauds, the life you have is not any less. That's what the title says: so panicked we are about God/s and heavens and hells and nirvana, that we sometimes forget this crucial fact:WE DO HAVE ONE LIFE. I have one, the one I'm living right now. You have one too, or you wouldn't be reading this.

That is the message I wish to impart. I have at least one life. I may believe or not belief in an afterlife, but that belief or lack of belief will not reduce the pleasure, joy, toil, pain or suffering of my life, that which makes life life.

Because I have one life. I intend to focus on this one. No worrying about that which you might get, or that which can be taken away. This life of mine is a gift, one I'll try not to squander away. 

Peace!!!

Gardens Of The Moon Book Review : Malazan Book Of The Fallen

Image
Malazan Book Of The Fallen Book 1 Gardens Of The Moon The mighty Malazan Empire strides forth, capturing all it sets its eyes on. And yet, discontent, treason and rebellion simmers even as the Empress, herself a former successful coup artist, tries to quash it. And the Gods choose their pawns and throw them into the fray with all gusto and fear.  Having read a lot of fantasy in the past, I did not expect this to excite and thrill me as much as it did. The first few pages were confusing, especially the character index. No way I'll keep track of them all, I thought. And yet I was proven wrong.   The beginning is misty; you know nothing about the world: it's magics, seasons, peoples, powers unknown to you. Much like a child looking at a chaotic mess, one would say. But once the pace starts picking up you cannot stop turning the pages.     Five stars to the author's character handling, ...

Midnight Tides: A book review

Image
Malazan Book Of The Fallen Book 5 Midnight Tides After four books set on two continents, and a series on the cusp of impending war, no one would have considered dedicating time to a prequel of sorts a good idea. The idea would have been horrible for someone like George R.R Martin, who’s likely never going to complete his famous fantasy series. But Erikson is a different kind of author. Not only does he take us to a completely different part of the world, he gives us an ENTIRELY NEW crew: considering that his books usually contain over 150 characters, that’s really staggering. This is exactly the kind of back-step he would have hoped for. The only things connecting the tale of this book to the previous four are Trull Sengar and The Crippled God. And the new characters are as good as any that have enchanted me previously. Even Kruppe isn’t missed. Although, this is the only Malazan Chronicles book that doesn’t feature the Malazans at all. On one hand are the ...

Deadhouse Gates: A Book Review (Malazan Chronicles)

Image
Malazan Book Of The Fallen Book 2 Deadhouse Gates Publisher's Summary Following on the footsteps of the magnificent Gardens Of The Moon, Deadhouse Gates lays to ground all those questioning the “grimdark” tag of the Malazan Chronicles: grinds doubt to dust with one hammer-stroke. The scene changes, this time in the vast continent of Seven Cities. A rebellion is coming. Malazan Usurpers, treated like dogs by the natives, are themselves rife with greed and corruption. The Empress follows the old adage: “set a thief to catch a thief”. The Wickan warriors, under their warlord Coltaine, are sent to try and quell a rebellion. But that’s not all. Imperial Historian Duicker lands in Seven Cities with his own hidden purpose. Elements of the now outlawed Malazan host of Dujek Onearm, a team of Bridgeburners, also land into the frying pan to spice things up in the company of Crokus Younghand, st...
