All of us are in some kind of prison of our own. To most of us who definitely have examined ourselves closely, we are likely to realize that a prison can come in various sorts. It may be financial disability, being enslaved by a devastating kind of passion, or getting reminded by a painful past we've never learned to let go. As a result, we betray our very own freedom to the prison within.
Of all many prisons I've seen, most people have created a prison of a universal greed. Subsequently, away from that prison of greed, we gave birth to something more evil: the curse of limitation. With the creation of new technologies, we somehow been able to find gratification in building shallow relationships as we skip over the little issues that mattered most. In place of writing letters that are traditional and sweet, a lover resorted to texting and tweeting online, as it is most common but all the while never intimate. But it worked for us, because we loved the advantage of a limited relationship.
Certainly one of this is receiving a dinner date with friends, then at the very last minute, backing out by simply texting you're not going. We arrogantly considered that was okay. However, when we have the decency to think the gravity of your action, we're all victims of simple absolutions. Nothing is grand anymore. We will turn down an engagement which could build stronger relationships by a mere text message. The days are gone when someone is obliged to meet whomever because sending messages are believed to be a high-end commodity. That old days may be limited with convenience, but most of the stories I've heard were not limited with love.

There was a time when I did exactly the same, I stumbled upon myself communicating my life openly with strangers I met in the social media, but not to my loved ones. In my situation, a shallow relationship is easier to end. I ran headless towards the curse of limiting myself and I became stingy of my love. Not surprisingly, It took a death of a loved one to make me realize that time waits for no one, and that regrets truly are the most painful of all.

We talked about John Gokongwei, and exactly how he led his life towards great accomplishments before . On his 80th birthday, he donated half of his billions to charities, but please note: he started his empire by selling only peanuts. Keeping that in mind, I find his story an antidote to the curse. He was generous, but not just to charities. He was generous to live the dream he dreamed and in turn, he blessed so many lives.

The end may be the same, but how we made a different path matters most. Whatever battle everyone is having at this moment, you should be generous. Be a person who's never imprisoned by the walls of a limited life.
