If you ever find life crushing…
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008I just read a blog recently, it was heart wrenching (enough to get me penned this blog). Well, no matter what people says about my writing, I am a really person and I prefer talking to writing, anyway I was touched by that blog.
In a nutshell, that blog spoke about losing love ones close to you, about how unfair life has been to an individual. Then, somewhere in that blog, there is also a mention of that person date with another person, which makes me wonder if that individual was happy or was worried about life during that scene.
This was my thought process because that person does seems very sad in that blog.
Anyway, since I wanted to be "deep", I might as well relate to a coffee making experience, I was just thinking how I can relate to it coffee when coffee grinders come to my mind.
It is not the finished product but it is one if done wrongly, can result in very bad brew. Too fine, would give dilute coffee while too coarse would give bitter coffee. The grind must be just right for the brew that you want.
Coffee beans are beautiful looking thing, shiny roasted beans and they smell heavenly. But, they are absolutely useless, as they cannot be make into coffee. But, after the grinding, you would get some very not really good looking coffee ground, they are the key to making great coffee!
I think life is like that, you go through it strong and whole, and at times life like the grinder would leave you shattered in pieces and many a times you would feel like a different person. You think and work differently.
But like the coffee ground, you would brew a better life. Through these experiences, you would make others happier, and even make this world a better place. In some other analogy, the end result of this process is very aptly summarized with one word -wisdom.
Yes, that is what you get of the crushing and grinding you get of life….
