Quote: Oscar Wilde

This week's quote is:

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

- Oscar Wilde

 

I like this quote because it speaks the absolute truth. Many people live their lives like zombies or robots, too occupied with worrying about the future to actually live in the present. And I know that those are stereotypical examples, but still. However, on some cases I don't necessarily think that it is the fault of the individual. Our modern-day society is so focused on what will happen tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. It is too easy to get caught up in all of this planning. I think that if more people took the time to stop obsessing over the future and actually get out there and live in the moment, the world would be a much happier place. I'm not saying that you shouldn't plan for tomorrow- just make sure that the only life you live isn't in your fantasies of years to come.

 

Always,
