Partial transcript of Paulo Coehlo on "What is the meaning of life?": "This question should be left open. It is easy to find an answer. But when you find an answer you close your universe. [...] You know when you are close ... because you have enthusiasm... and you know when you are far away when you are bored... so everytime you have enthusiasm you are close to the meaning of your life."
I agree... But also we need to understand that common people (the majority) do not care about fulfilling their dreams. They have already given up to follow their destiny so they probably don´t really want to see others who actually did that. They don´t wanna see that it is possible. I guess people prefer convincing themselves that they have chosen the right path even though it was meant something much better for them.
I agree with all these comments, I looooove him!! he is very special and ´´valuable´´ (if I can use this word for human being) man !!! So so so many people (maybe nobody) in this world like he is!!!
Very awakening and reassuring. Beautiful! Thank you! xoxo

I like him and his work.
Clever stories from a pen of an intelligent person.
But it's sad that this video now has about 5700 views and another stupid videos up to now have been watched by millions...
Books and even the internet are available for everyone today, so culture is not that expensive as some might think. But who wants culture...?
