Life in this world, doesn’t have to be so serious, so complicated, and so dramatic as it so often plays out for so many of us. Regrettably, there are a significant amount of people that live their lives in such a way, that when the bell so tolls for them, they are dismayed and also frustrated that a meaningful percentage of their life consisted of missteps, mixed emotions, and mistakes; that all served to take them away from seeing that life at its core, is truly about being loving and caring, one to another.
This does not need to be a world of one-upmanship, of competition, of blind ambition; or contrarily a world seen through the eyes of someone that is enthralled to drink, drugs, gratuitous sex, or mindless entertainment. We are meant to see this world as an opportunity to test ourselves in a construct in which we will not always get what we think that we want, but instead we eventually learn, perhaps through trial and error, or perhaps through the wisdom of a good mentor, that we are meant to see this world as a place to interact with one another in a manner in which we harmonize one with another, for the greater good of one another.
All those that insist that the only success worth celebrating, is that of material success, will almost for a certainly have their day in this world, but will probably not have a good or satisfying existence, outside of this earthly realm. To see this world as a zero-sum game, does an injustice to that who created us in the first place; for the limits that we may think so exist, are only the limits of those that are wrong thinking, so believing that in order to get to where they claim that they so desire to get to, necessitates a selfish and self-serving approach, often by any means so necessary, above all else.
Many people have a rather poor understanding of what love actually is; of which for some they are far too sentimental, for others they are far too capricious, and for others they are far too manipulative. Love isn’t really any of those attributes, for true love is that love that first and foremost, desires the good of the other person, for no other reason than this is what we should desire for everyone. Love is never conflicted, love is never here today and gone tomorrow, and finally love is not ever conditional.
Love is the very essence of God, of which each one of us should be ever grateful for. Recognize, no matter what we should say, feel, or do, that God keeps on loving us, no matter what. God will not ever forsake us, and God as well as the human spirit will surely celebrate with us, when we come to our senses and become more loving and more understanding with others. Love is patient, love is kind, love is non-judgmental, and there is nothing ever, or even conceivable, that could ever conquer love, for that which is love is perfection; and to thereby seek that which is perfection is the highest calling that we so have.
