Life according to Camille - 1

The Basket:

People are forever trying to work out the point of life. What are we here for? What happens after we die? Is there a God? I think it is very simple really. Imagine when you are born you are handed a basket. You can make this basket look like anything you want - there are no rules around it. You can make it as large or small as you want. Now the point of your life is to fill that basket with experiences. Everything that happens to you, good or bad, put it in the basket and move on. The nice thing about having the basket is that every now and then you can stop and look in the basket and reflect on the things you have collected. The other nice thing is that when you don't have time, or simply don't want to, you don't have to spend time on what has happened - you can just put it in the basket until you are ready to look at it - if at all. There are no rules around whether you should ever look at these experiences, it is entirely up to you. But they all belong to you and are part of you. They may get buried in the basket by other things, never to be seen again, but they are still there somewhere. My goal in life is to have a full basket when I die.
