See, life is a journey and every chapter is very interesting.

“See, life is a journey and every chapter is very interesting.” Thus spoke Zeenat Aman, artist of the silver screen, yet philosopher in her own right, offering a truth that has resonated through the centuries. In these words lies a reminder that existence is not a single note, nor a still painting, but a book forever unfolding. Each season, each trial, each triumph is a chapter, and though some may be filled with sorrow and others with joy, all are threads woven into the great tapestry of the journey.

The ancients, too, spoke in such a manner. Homer sang of Odysseus, whose long wandering was not a curse alone but a story rich with meaning. The storms, the monsters, the heartbreaks, and the homecoming—every step was a chapter that made the man and revealed the hero. So too with life itself: its beauty lies not in sameness, but in variety, not in perfection, but in its endless unfolding. Aman reminds us to see not only the glory but the interest, to embrace every page of our tale with wonder.

Consider the life of Helen Keller. Her early chapters were dark, locked in silence and blindness. Yet with the guidance of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she turned those struggles into strength. Later chapters brought her renown as a writer, speaker, and advocate for the disabled. Each portion of her life, though different in tone, was interesting, each a revelation of resilience and growth. Her story teaches us the same lesson: that no matter how difficult a season may seem, it carries within it wisdom and power that shapes the greater journey.

There are those who despair when faced with hardship, thinking the chapter they are in defines the whole book. Yet Aman’s words encourage us to step back, to see each season as one part of a greater design. A chapter of loss may be followed by one of healing. A chapter of obscurity may prepare the way for one of greatness. What matters is not that every page be easy, but that every page be read with attention, reverence, and courage.

O children of the future, listen well: your life will not be smooth, nor should it be. A book without struggle, without contrast, without change, is no story at all—it is emptiness. Rejoice, therefore, that each chapter brings new color, new lesson, new surprise. Do not cling only to the bright pages, nor fear the dark ones, for both are needed to make your tale complete.

The lesson is clear: live with awareness. Do not sleepwalk through your journey, nor wish away the chapters that challenge you. Instead, open your eyes wide to the interest in each one. Ask yourself what it teaches, what strength it demands, what beauty it hides. In this way, you transform life from a burden into a story worth telling, not only to others but to yourself.

Therefore, let your practice be this: honor your past chapters, live your present chapter with presence, and await the next with courage and curiosity. Do not fear the unknown, for it is only the next page waiting to be turned. Cherish the story you are writing, for it is yours alone, and no other will ever walk the same road.

So I say unto you: remember Zeenat Aman’s wisdom. Life is a journey, and every chapter is very interesting. Walk boldly through its pages, embrace its variety, and know that in the end, your life will be not a single note, but a symphony—a story of many chapters, each with its own beauty, each necessary to the whole.
