Belief and Crave 信念与欲望 (former Believe and desire)

Have you ever think of the life you are leading now? Is it base on your belief [believe]* or crave [desire]*?

Most of us will probably live for the crave [desire] for the 5C (credit card, cash, condo, car and career). Do all these items can really make you happy? For people who don't know what's real happiness are, maybe it will.

Recently I have read a very inspiring and motivating Japanese comic. They mention that there are two kinds of people who have ambition - one is base on their crave (desire), one on their belief [believe]. Actually, the different between crave (desire) and belief (believe) is whether you are the leader or he is. I found that most of the city people live base on their crave (desire). It's so sad if crave (desire) is the one who lead your life.


You may think that you need money to survive but will die if you do not have? We only need the basics to survive, it's the crave (desire) in you that make you think that you need more, don't you think so?

"Some people may think that comics are for kids, but I don't really agree. I think that people who read comics, will have dreams."


*Belief = 信念, Crave = 欲望

Where you want to go?

Imagine, will you take a train without knowing where you want to go? Maybe some people does, but most of them wouldn't. It goes the same for life direction, you will need to know your destination before you decide on type of transport you are taking. Some destinations are short, some are long. As long you have one, you will eventually reach there, it's a matter of time.

Life destination is like a long trip, there may have people you meet on the way may travel with you. Some only passes by your life, some supported you on the way, some left you to go elsewhere, some may rob you, etc. As long as you don't get murdered, the journey continued.

Is it really so difficult to find one?

Just think what makes you happy, and you will know what you want. Probably by then, you will be able to find your direction.

For the lost moon...
