Responding questions
Love is the one of the desire
of human beings. In our personal journey, sometimes love as a positive power in
order to support us to achieve. However, sometimes it doesn’t.
Love can be a positive power to
support us succeed. “He knew that his
love for her would enable him to discover every treasure in the world”(94) From the quote we could
know, Santiago finds his love to help him to discover his destiny.
Love can be a negative power to
stop us to achieve. “He knew that his
love for her would enable him to discover every
treasure in the world”(94) From the quote we could
know, there is an opposite side of love. At this time love could be hinder of
our journey. It will stop you, confuse you with the desire of human beings. The
way you think is right, however, it is probably wrong. It will mislead you in
the wrong direction.

Money as a positive power to
push him to find his treasure. “And
this is my interpretation: you must go to the Pyramids in Egypt. I have never
heard of them, but, if it was a child who showed them to you, they exist. There
you will find a treasure that will make you a rich man
”(14) To be a rich man might be the one of his reasons
to complete his journey.
Money as a negative power to
push him to find his treasure. “Yes,
or even search for treasure. The Soul of the World is nourished by people’s
happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To
realize one’s destiny is a person’s only real obligation. All things are one.”(22)
Money could bring you bad repetation with unhappiness,
envy and jealousy, especially. These things are inflection from earning money.
