Certainly not what I expected on an Uber ride...
I normally listen to music on my headphones on drives like these because I don't think I'd have anything worth saying on the ride...and I don't think the driver would have anything worth listening to.
But this driver was different.
I was surprised by the wisdom with which he spoke to us. The guy was so wise and had such an interesting perspective towards life and people that I couldn't help but listen.
It was more of a lecture in the Philosophy of life than a regular Uber ride.
He spoke about how freedom of the mind is true freedom. It's the freedom to see the good in every situation...to focus on the positives when there's negativity around. And how freedom at it's truest form...in the mind...cannot be taken away by anything or anyone.
He then continued and told us about how friends and family are the people that make life worth living. That it's better to be sufficient with money...but not blinded by it. Because that only leads to unhappiness. And that people with loads and loads of money, fame and the dream life aren't always the happiest...a perspective I personally believe in. People trade off their amazing family lives for the big name and fortune not fully realizing that family life is the best life.
The love and support we get from our few friends and family cannot be equal to whatever amount of money and possessions we can possibly have.
He said how...Life can be unfair to good people. And that's terrible. But at the end of the story, the wicked will have their punishment and the good will gain justice and rewards for their long-suffering. We don't have to get frustrated when bad people seem to flourish...they will fall out of luck. The truth about a cruel person will come out...no matter how much he tries to hide it. An honest good man will eventually gain justice and success...even if there's many failures that come his way at first.
The main lessons I learnt that night was....
1. There are good people out there disguised as the ones you least expect.
2. You don't have to wait to be at a high position to be influential...you can spread your good vibes at any time, with any job.
3. Wisdom is something anyone can gain.
4. And lastly, it's good to be open about things like this. We strengthen people's trust in humanity when we're honest and firm in our convictions.
There are so many people out there who think knowledge and wisdom go hand in hand. But that's not true.
We need more people to be kind and give out positive vibes in this world...there's too much negativity that keeps bogging us down.
There's nothing to be afraid of...true freedom is freedom of the mind.
To whoever that Uber driver was that day, if you're reading this, please publish a book on your thoughts, I will buy it.
