BOOK OF LIFE



Life is a book...
From the outside bounded by a cover. But the cover is superficial. It doesn't say everything about the book. You have to read all the pages to know the true worth of the entire book. Same with our life. We are not exactly the way others perceive us from the outside. What they see are just the cover. They can find us interesting enough with the cover at first glance but not too soon to consider valuable. The value is realized upon page by page reading...upon discovering the story in each chapter...upon finding the flaws of the entire book...upon being carried away by the rise and fall of the plot presented. How much we enjoyed reading or to what extent we are affected by our reading, tells us the value of the book to us.

In real life we meet lots of people. They enter our life; we enter theirs. But at the end of the day, only few are stuck with our life. Those are the people that we find interesting or should I say those with the "covers" caught our interest. Day by day we delve deeper, we learn new things about them we find them more interesting or sometimes less interesting. They become more valuable or less valuable to us, as we go on perusing the pages of their lives. We go on reading the book of their lives as they read the book of our life. Our stories merged into one, in simple words it is called friendship or to others they may call it a romantic relationship. It really depends on how you look at it.

Sometimes, there are some chapters in our book that we are not proud to share to others. But those our part of the entire story that we can't just omit. They put color to the plot. They add value to the book. It is up to the reader to decide whether they like it or not.

Our life is full of plots and subplots. So many characters involved. A lot of twists and sudden turn of events. We write our own story. The story goes on and on until the Almighty Author say it's over.I just hope that people have seen the value of my book when that time comes.
