life; it’s a horrible sight.

the scientists and philosophers, those explorers who have given up their lives

Continue to hold it as mysterious and enchanting. Keep its virginity intact so
that the curiosity to discover it grows day after day. Keep it holy and divine.

busy serving themselves and if you sleep you will wake up when there is nothing
left for you.

― Bangambiki Habyarimana
Time consumes all. Many things have existed that we
cannot even find traces. Great men and women who ruled their people, great
empires and kingdoms have come and gone. Great suffering and great joy have
come and gone. Many natural occurrences have come and gone. Only for a few of
these occurrences we can still find traces but the rest is lost to our memories
forever. Even we that are living today and everything that is happening in
nature today will end and will be forgotten in time. Time is an endless pit
where everything is thrown and forgotten.

meets real life

eventually have an end. Then you become a sage.

― Bangambiki Habyarimana
A man who fears loves life. He wants to remain alive.

has nothing to lose; he has lost appetite to live.
379. Each man lives in his own universe and when he
dies the world is over
― Bangambiki Habyarimana

end every day. Each time a man dies his world is over. It’s a star that
disintegrates, it’s a moon that disappears, and it’s the demise of a god.

day you discovered you were alive and the day you forgot about it
― Bangambiki Habyarimana
It’s good to discover you are alive, that it’s you.
But you must not dwell on that or you will become a philosopher and ruin your
life. You must quickly forget it and get on with the business of living. Living
without questions, living without seeking understanding, but living each day at
a time.
386. You brought nothing into this world; you will
take nothing from it, but please, leave us something
― Bangambiki Habyarimana
The meaning of life is impacting the life of other
people. You came empty handed in the world, then you created things but you
will take away none of those things you created. You have to leave them in the
world to contribute to it. What will you live to the world? What will be your
lasting impact? Is it as a man who worked hard and smart? A man who excelled in
what he did and inspired others around him? A man who preached peace and the
brotherhood of mankind? A man who loved nature and fought for the protection of
animals and nature? A good wife who became an example of womanhood in her
village? A responsible husband and father whose household became a reference in
his town? A policeman who was renowned for his integrity in his work? Or a
warmonger who preached ethnic and racial hatred and called for genocides
against other tribes? A man who conquered and subjected other lands and wiped
out populations in pursuit of natural resources? What will you leave to the
world with?
