The gift of nothing. (Its a book)
This illustrates that money can buy some things, but certain moments and life experiences are "priceless."
We learn that material possessions and tangible items are sometimes not as meaningful as the space between two individuals, people, living beings, etc. It is the unspoken, uncategorizable, sublime moments of life that are most fulfilling and rewarding, and the hardest to capture or describe. Therefore, when trying to convey the depth of meaning of these moments, we cannot, and therefore, should not even bother trying (to encapsulate them, try as we may through photographs, video, blogging, etc.). The best gift is one that one already has the power to give oneself - the gift of friendship, self-awareness/mindfulness and the ability to honor and nurture the two.
Now I know why huiwen, siew, wanwei and lorraine gave me nothing. HAHA Just kidding my dears =) Thanxs to all my friends too, I got much much more than presents from you all: laughter, tears, joy, hugs, listening ears and moments that I would always cherish. =)
oh, the book of "guess how much I love you" is cool too =D
