Kamrun’s poem describes a burning white rose, for Different Truths, that in a dream reveals life’s truth—purpose is optional, but faith, trust, and humanity keep us alive.
Last night in a dream
A white rose I had seen.
Which blooms in the oven every day and night
But the gorgeousness just shines
I know the meaning of red roses, yellow roses, but not burning white roses!
I really don’t know its meaning…
In life, everything must have a meaning or purpose…
Maybe this is not true.
When you don’t get the purpose to survive, or
To see a dream or live a life.
Then what are you doing? Suicide!
Listen…
Take a deep breath and start to believe…
Life is a going on process and you need to live…
So, this is not necessary to have a purpose
Without purpose, one can go through
And there is a different reason to continue.
Even a whole life can be lived
We are the creatures of the god almighty and
We come to the world for the wishes of the god almighty.
So, we just need to trust in him.
He must have a purpose to send us to this earth
If we are a religious one or a theist,
We need to believe
So, just enjoy every moment of life, and
That's the purpose of life.
No guilt, no shame, no blasphemy.
As a human, please be a human being.
