What I'm currently reading
I found two gems amidst the library of books - Sir Gawain & The Green Knight and Oscar Wilde's Stories For Young People. I liked Sir Gawain for it held values of honour and bravery. Sir Gawain had valour and temperance. Men like him today are few and far between. Oscar Wilde's stories hold much wisdom and melancholy. They teach us what it means to really love. Some stories are poignant but inspiring. It has definitely gotten me thinking about what it means to love someone. According to Wilde, to love is to sacrifice and give until it hurts, or as in the stories The Happy Prince and The Nightingale and the Rose, until death. This reminds me of Jesus who gave his life up so that we may have life in its fullness. Yet how many of us are living it to the fullest? Do we spend our lives meaningfully?
