Where has your paradise gone?

Question

When I was a kid, we used to run down to the beach at night and lay under the night sky and wish on falling stars. Me, my brother, and my little sister would stay out there for hours. I remember many times being woken up by my dad who would always have to carry my sister home. I loved that beach. I just found out it's an apartment building now. Has anything like this ever happened to you? How do you feel about it?

Answer 1

I used to live in a shophouse owned by my granddad with a big yard where I grew up playing endless games with my imagination.

Now, it has been torn down for road construction.

I feel sad and nostalgic whenever I passed the place, but new things should replace the old or the world will never progress. Now I just move on but still have this nature streak in me. So I check out nature trails and rainforests when I am travelling.

I suggest you can take a trip to the Maldives. I have a question on that and got a great answer. The beach is wonderful and I am going there early next year for a week.

Answer 2

There was an apricot tree in my backyard. It bore too many apricots. Invariably, some of the fruit would fall, smoosh into the ground and germinate. I would carefully transplant the little apricotettes and give them to friends and family members. I also had a swing hung in that tree. My older brothers, six and eight years older than I, talk our parents into putting a pool in the backyard. My voice for saving the apricot tree went unheeded. I do love the pool, and use it to this day. But I still miss my apricot seedlings and the treeswing.

Everything I knew when I was a kid has gone but I didn't find my childhood that great anyway so I don't really miss it. Paradise is inside you now and always. Even Jesus said : 'The Kingdom of God is within you.'
