Cafe at the end of the world

At the crossroads of important choices in life, I was fortunate to have come across such a book, "The Café at the End of the World."

Speaking of the encounter with this book, it actually comes entirely from my first choice as a Yan control. The title and cover of the book managed to grow on my aesthetic, so I started decisively. In fact, I didn't know what it was talking about before I bought it, and I bought it home and put it away for more than a month, until this rainy National Day holiday. To be honest, it had a big impact on me, and I finally understood why this book is called "reading for an hour, understanding for a lifetime." In the eyes of others, we may be "crazy", but we know that the future needs to be firmly in our own hands.

On an escapist trip, John is constantly changing intersections because of traffic jams. So he came to what seemed like the end of the world, where there was a café called "Why Are You Here". Here John opens the door to the meaning of life. By meeting Café Waitress Cathy, owner and chef Mike, and their old friend Annie, John makes new choices for life.

On the back of the café's menu there are three questions for guests to ponder as they wait for their meal: "Why are you here?" "Are you afraid of death?" and "Are you satisfied?" ”。 These three seemingly unrelated issues to the café became John's 8-hour life lesson.

["Why you are here"] If you think about it carefully, you will read the true meaning of it - why you exist & the meaning of your existence. This is a question that most people don't really think about. We are covered by a lot of sales information every day, and we only have to continue to earn money to consume, consume and then make money, and many things we want to leave until the god-like time of "retirement" comes to deal with. But the work we don't like consumes more of our time, so that there is less and less time to do what we like, the more stress, the more consumption... And so on, a vicious circle.

"Are you afraid of death?" "Fear, who is not afraid of death. That's what a lot of people are saying. We don't talk about death every day, but as time goes on, we have less and less time left for what we want to do, and the subconscious will tell people that death is approaching. So what to be afraid of is to be afraid of not having another chance.
