A Search of Meaning: Live Life to the Fullest

"Why to believe in others"

A striking... a catchy title; the title itself gave a great impact on introducing the talk. As an overview, the talk was about correcting man's mistakes.

When a person commits mistakes, we often hear them say: "Nobody's Perfect". Yes, it's true that nobody is perfect; there's no one in this world who never committed a mistake but it doesn't mean that we can't avoid mistakes; in fact there are many ways to avoid these mistakes. Some of these include making moral decisions. It means that we must first think a million times before doing something. Think twice or even thrice before deciding. We must always include the welfare of other people before coming up with a decision. It is not only ourselves that we must think of we must also think of others because besides the fact that we are relational beings, they affect the person who we are right now.

In the talk the speaker often mentioned these words: "If you take man as he really is, you make him worst; but if you take man as he should be, you make him capable of becoming what he can be."

In this statement, it clearly tells us that we should not let a person continue doing his mistake. It's like teaching a child about good manners and the like. Parents should correct them if they do wrong things. They should scold their child if he don't obey them, if he don't respect them, and if he do not listen to them. The parents should not tolerate their child's wrong acts because if they do, the child would be spoiled; he might carry those bad attitudes while growing up and once he had started carrying those attitudes, it will be hard for him to be corrected. As a result, the child could not have a better future.. a bright future. 

As we know parents knows best; adults know best. As children, as youngsters, we must take time to listen to them because they were the ones who had most of the experiences. They are the ones who knows best what's good from bad. They are the ones who can guide us through so that we may reach our goal, achieve our ambitions, and search for a better future.  

If we know that what what the person's act was wrong, we must have an initiative to correct him because if we don't, he might think that he is doing the right thing... he might think that it's okay. If we don't correct him or at least give him advices for his improvement, there would be a great possibility for him to repeat his mistake knowing that no one cares... and so, no one would react even if he is doing the wrong thing, the wrong act, or the wrong deed. If we don't recognize a young man's way to meaning, man's search for meaning, we make him dull, we make him frustrated, we still add and contribute to his frustration. 

There should always be a spark of search for meaning.
