after some cumbersome thinking and evolving curiosity, i will try to read rick warren's "enlightening book" called THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE... heck... i know i shunned that book coz i know it's not for me in any way - another book about self-fulfillment that tells you to do things to have a more 'purposeful' life... blah blah. i am not a devout faithful anymore (i think i had never been one). is this the reason? no. i just want to know what the book is all about, and avoid the possible influences it might bear on me. to read as if it's a literary piece. that's all...
i wonder... why sell such book (and other similar titles) for a price? i think they might say finding one's purpose is worth every penny (peso) and you will gain much more than what you gave, greater than anything you could receive on earth (salvation).
yes, everything has a cost, and finding one's purpose also has, i think. but guiding others to salvation, again i think, should be done as an act of mercy and humanity, asking for nothing in return... to be delighted and content to see others 'saved'.
another 'selfish' percpetion of mine...
