A Spark by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe from The Vision, chapter 18
“Yes, it will all end one day; but today is worth living.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 18
The walk-through
Look for reasons to worry and you will find an endless list. People fall sick. People die. All of it could happen to you too — Innocent doesn’t argue with any of that. What he refuses is the conclusion that it should make you hate life or live in fear.
He runs it the other way. The bad in life is what makes the good worth something: “They just give you all the more reason to celebrate that you are alive and well, and to be grateful.” Knowing life isn’t guaranteed is what lets you live it fully.
Mortality isn’t denied here. It is simply not allowed to cancel the fact that “today is worth living”.
