Markus ZusakIt makes me wonder, Do we spend most of our days trying to remember or forget things? Do we spend most of our time running towards or away from our lives? I don't know.
About This Quote
If we spend the majority of our time trying to forget things, what kind of life would we have? We can't forget what has happened, so we do the best we can to ensure that it does not happen again. Therefore, we try to avoid it. However, if we spend most of our time trying to remember things, what kind of life would we have? We can't forget what has happened, so we do everything possible to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Unfortunately, this is how many people live their lives.
They are caught up in the past and are afraid of the future. They are afraid to change the way they live because they are afraid of forgetting what was done before.
