"This world has nothing for me..." tht's almost impossible fr me...
Sometimes, when i sing tht verse of the song...i don't know if i always mean it. Like whoo can just have tht kinda mindset. Jus leave everything behind...just like tht.
I mean...how can this world be nothing fr me...it's been everything! Everything in this world has made me who I am today! All my earthly treasures reside here...I can't just let go. Honestly, I don't believe anyone would think....tht's an easy thing to do. Of course, We all wanna follow God....but leave all tht earthly stuff behind, i don't think so. But tht's what God calls us to do...leave everything, nd follow Him. Tht's wut Jesus told his disciples to do.
"I will follow YOU..."♫♪
Especially now, the society at the moment...is FULL of earthly distractions and desires. The world takes care of me now...nothing else. It has everything I need.
Fr me, I honestly don't think this world has influenced me THT much, in comparison to a lot of ppl. But it has to, in some extent fr everyone.
i mean...my friends are earthly too aren't they?? but in the end, it's between you and God. Not saying that your friends don't matter...at the moment. Cuse some friends bring you closer to God. But ultimately, ur focus...is on none other than one whom you were created by, and what HE wants you to do.
if i had to let go of my closest friends...just so i could follow God. Tht'd be hard.
I guess that's why it soo hard for rich, wealthy people to follow God. Cuse they have everything!...wut more do they need?? (although i no of some ppl are still not happy, even though they DO have everything). But it's easier for ppl who have nothing...they have nothing to lose.
Btw, i took that verse from "Rescue - Desperation Band"...it's quite a good song.

It is indisputable fact that what is gained on earth is meaningless upon encountering death. Then, one can logically conclude that the world doesn't really have anything meaningful to offer an individual.
Meaning is created by an individual, it is a subjective viewpoint. Objectively what one does now will have no overall effect on the universe as a whole. However, this is not to say that subjective meanings should be ignored, but rather one should come to a realization that they do not actually matter. One may choose any path one likes, but in the end, it'll be the same. One will face death.
Since this is the fact of life, one's subjective meanings should not be viewed as the absolute authority in everyday life. One should live with an open mind and break free from the habit of doing for the sake of meaning, and attempt to do for the sake of doing.
