Today’s Quote: Life must be lived forward.
February 21, 2008 by Amos Chan
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.” - Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher (1813-1855).
In a way, it is true. For something in life, we may not understand it at the time we live our life. We may not understand why it happens in the way it does at the time, but we have to live with it and live it! When looking back afterward in our life, it starts to make sense in our mind and heart and we start to understand why it happened that way and why we have got to where we are right now because of it. Life must be lived forward; otherwise, we may not understand certain things in life if we get stuck in the past or present.
