Five Essential Truth By Richard Rohr Analysis

Richard Rohr’s “Five Essential Truths”

There are five things that Richard Rohr told people about the process of our life and I have the some perspective with him on life process.

Life is hard:

From the moment people were born, different situation began to show up, with sad, happy and angry as our response. Two out of three are negative emotions; this is going to be hard if people want to keep themselves happy. As people are growing, people have to deal with others to make friends or further relationships. Responsibility will show up especially we need to take care of those who are close.

You are not that important:

There is an old saying that goes “No mater who died, our earth will keep running”. The world will run functional no matter who’s died and someone could be important for something or someone, but there are millions of others who could be replaced for a better option.

Your life is not about you:

Our life is holding in our hand, however the life people are having right now is base on their parents especially in Asia. Parents give their children life and an option in the future. With babies came out, they will have the responsibility for their parents and spouse. People are always do something for others, such as work for boss, make money for family and someone need to take care of a baby

just because they don’t want to kill him or her.
You are not in control:
People’s life and future is holding in their hands, they may able to control them, however it’s not true because the world is too big that people can not change it, but we could easily change by our world or society.

At that point, people limited their freedom, wills and action. All those above could not be totally express as a human once he or she is in society. There are two ways that I know so far could lead people totally control themselves, by getting themselves to the top of the world which will be the most powerful man in the world. On the other hand, people could run away from the world, from the society to somewhere quiet wide and non human beings are

there.
You are going to die:
There were hundreds of kings in the world who had a great achievement in the history would like to trade immortal with entire empire. No one succeed and the way of living forever is not discovered yet. Finally people will bury into ground, no matter they were kings or civilian. As a King, wealth and power will not stay under the ground with him, those treasures and women he held would be no longer touched. Treasure may sit next to the king but one day those will be in the museum or thief.
Life is hard, people are trying to live valuable and people are trying to be themselves, but people are not in control. No matter how much a person has been through or accomplished, death is waiting for him or her.
