It's the little moments that make life big?

Answer 1

Watching my kid walk for the first time. That was cool. She walks like frankenstien! Doh!

Answer 2

I'd like to think so . . but those little moments seem to become so quickly infinitesimal! For example : Since I first began to be seriously, even gratefully interested in this website, I feel to have made a great, premature mistake in setting aside how fickle people are. I had sincerely thought, that in my isolation, which is quite extreme, I was finding a "family" consisting of strangers.
And yet i also discovered that, that little moment of enthusiasm and cheerfulness was short lived.
For it seemed that to some, my answers or questions were either misunderstood of their real meaning, or judged as insults or mockeries.
In reality I had meant neither.
If there is one thing I have learned in life and disappointingly, is that the space between one human being to another, even in the best of intentions, is remote and increasingly may further become.
There seems to be few opportunities to be in sync with even one other person.
So, do little moments make life big?
I's say : Just the opposite : These little moments make life seem inconsequential.
Just as one is willing to celebrate for a newly found union with others, most often one finds an opening chasm or an abyss.
This is very sad, but in a way I am beginning to trust (more) again, the refuge one may take in their vocation . . and as far as others, well . . it will always be a disheartening "touch and go" Even when the best intentions are truly felt wanted to be offered!

Was it not George Bernard Shaw that said "the road to hell is paved with good intentions?"
Also, did he not say in "Joan of Arc"? : "We burn saints?'

Please, do not jump the gun and think I am comparing myself to a "saint" . . I am far from one . . But is it not true that our judgments are so often based on ignorance, stupidity, resentment, anger, envy, jealousy and projection, that we first shoot to kill than to question or welcome, in order to further enlighten ourselves?

Any answers welcome . . at this point of falling from the grace of premature expectation, WHAT THE HELL?

Answer 3

I like this quote because it makes me think about doing good deeds for other people. A good deed can make life seem like you're doing something important. The little deed that a person takes out of their day, each day will be rewarded greatly in the end and when God is judging them in the end. Great quote!

Answer 4

Nods. 'It is not the amount of breaths you take but the number of moments that take your breath away.' I love that quote.

Answer 5

Exactly . It's when expectations gets too big , that we are disappointed .
