How Bananas teaches us the Meaning of Life


There was once a Nepalese Monk who had a philosophy of Bananas…

He opened the bag he was carrying and stood for a long time studying its contents. Then he said:

‘Did you know that banana can teach you the meaning of life?’

He took out a rotten Banana from the bag and threw it away.

‘That is the life that has been gone, and which was not used to the full and for which it is now too late.’

Then he drew out another banana, which was still green then put it back in the bag.

‘This is the life that has yet to happen, and which we need to wait until the moment is right.’

Finally, he took out a ripe banana, peeled it and shared it with the people around him.

‘This is the present moment. Learn how to gobble it up without fear or guilt.’
