Hard world is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning.

About This Quote

Hard world is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning. Hard world has no meaning in itself and we can see it as a prison sentence. Hard world becomes a prison sentence only when we cannot find meanings in hard world, we cannot find meanings in our life. In fact, hard world is a prison because there are no meanings in hard world. We can make the meanings of hard world somehow, if we can find them.
