Love Story - (12) The perfect sunset
"Oh my dear, I'm afraid you will have to see the sunset on my plane, cuz we are going to the Great Wall in, let's say, an hour."

He used to say, there is this intrinsic value in watching sunsets, but I never got it. As our plane pulled up steeply into the sky, and finally broke through the thick layer of clouds, I saw it, there, the perfect sunset... ... If I were to die at the next second, I could proudly say, that I have no regret spending my last second on earth watching the most beautiful sunset. What's the "sunset" in your life? What are you busy doing every day and night? Are they as meaningful as watching the sunset? What is driving your life right now?
Okay, my poor readers, I won't bombard you with any more questions, since you have been so loyally followed along my story. But keep those questions in mind, and hopefully someday, you will realize, as how I realized at that moment, that how much we have missed out by occupying ourselves with meaningless things. Whatever is driving you right now, be it money, fame, fear, loneliness, or anxiety, try to make it "love." Let love take the driver's seat for one time, love somebody, with all your heart, make a commitment, and then you will be able to see THE perfect sunset, I promise.
"Hey Sunshine, this is the captain speaking, I want to welcome you to flight 1 bound for Beijing, our flight time today is 16 hours , we will be flying at an average altitude of 29,000 feet, on behalf of Wilde Airline and myself, I want to wish you a enjoyable stay at Beijing and hopefully find your lost husband there, now sit back and enjoy the rest of the flight... ..."
