that confucius died thinking that he lived a worthless life? well that 's according to the calendar hanging by my table.. im not sure if its reliable... SO dont quote me on that
well if its true.. then its a great irony that the man who is probably the greatest Chinese thinker or even the greatest thinker actually thought that he was not a good thinker...
i hope not.. because in my opinion he should have felt very important and lived a great life.. because i expect that life should be fair.. and since he is still making raves upto our time. he should have at least some impact while he was alive.. (i think he did sa government ata siya nagwwork)
how can the greatest painter live in misery while they were alive and be worth millions of dollars once they have died? i dunno like picasso or someone. hhe from my very minimal knowledge of art im pretty sure a lot of painters were poor when they were alive..
life is weird.. why do we keep on trying to understand it? maybe we are not supposed to understand it.. maybe we are supposed to be confident enough that life is and would always be unpredictable and confusinhg.
*just checked wiki and i dont think picasso was poor :D i guess some other painter then.. hhe

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change; courage to change
the things I can; and wisdom to know the
difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to
peace;Taking, as He did, this sinful
world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;3
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.
--- Reinhold Niebuhr

van gogh? parang he was poor... hehe
"life is weird.. why do we keep on trying to understand it? maybe we are not supposed to understand it.." maybe we keep trying to understand it because we think that once we understand, we'd know how to live a more meaningful life... well, good luck >______>
If life was predictable, then it wouldn't be worth living. Well, that's my two cents.
Ohh, and I think their artwork become more priceless after they die because it means the artist cannot make another one so that would mean there's only a limited qty available. You know how things are, what is rare is more expensive.
