NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

It's a sort of book that I couldn't simply put down after I'd read the synopsis. Well, as it turned out, nothing really lasts forever except love.

What we have right now does not guarantee that it would somehow bring us to the realm of everlasting life. Career. Family. Friends. Money. Possessions. Price Tag. All these would have come to the point of leaving us empty-handed. For what remains to be enduring at hands of time is the soul--the soul that gratifies the thirst of humanity, but obeys the divine truth of love. 

It is a symbolic and implicit truth that love is really what all that matters. Sidney Sheldon brings in the life of three woman physicians who have been through the tests of time. Behind the  glory of their astounding success in their career, something pulls them back down because of the definition of wrong circumstance.

After all, their lives could be summed up as astonishing especially Kat Hunter's. Their experiences simply stand as the building blocks of how powerful and excellent doctors they have become. 

And, so to our lives, what we have experienced--whether good or bad--actually tells us the notion of "there's glory in everything we've been through." The glory of standing still despite such adversities encountered. The glory of declaring before the world: "Oh, men! I have been through it."

And, the common denominator why we are still up today behind such inevitable rays of time is love. Love for ourselves. Love for our individuality. Love for our fellows. Love for Him. That is, the reason that nothing really lasts forever is the truth that love is, indeed, what all that matters.

Outside love, nothing lives.
