.......

Lately I have been putting various quotes that I feel touched by as my status messages in Yahoo Messenger. One of those was : "They alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead"

One of my friend I guess didn't like this and here is the discussion we had about this.

Friend (4:52:19 PM): i was just wondering what ur status means
Me (4:52:23 PM): hmm
Me (4:52:30 PM): what do u think
Friend (4:53:01 PM): if u live for ur life for the good of others then its a life........otherwise u are as good as dead
Me (4:53:18 PM): kindda
Me (4:53:29 PM): right, isn't it ?
Friend (4:53:59 PM): donno........i used to believe in living life for others but in todays world u die soon if u live ur life for others
Friend (4:54:21 PM): see there are right things and then there are practical things
Friend (4:54:33 PM): living ur life for others is right and is ideal
Friend (4:54:44 PM): but life is not ideality its reality
Me (4:54:57 PM): hmm
Friend (4:55:13 PM): i could be wrong......its just a though
Friend (4:55:13 PM): t
Me (4:55:53 PM): wouldn't it be ideal if one can live a ideal life in reality
Friend (4:56:49 PM): well if it was possibe to live an ideal life in reality then we would not be chatting like this right now
Me (4:56:49 PM): but I guess its not possible
Me (4:57:02 PM): meaning ?
Friend (4:57:19 PM): in a nutshell.......its not possible to live an ideal life

What do you think about this ?
