As I think back on my 67 years of life, I am in awe at how wonderful my life has been. I am lucky to live alone and not watch TV because I have so much time to think about life. Most people would be lonely and get cabin fever long before a single winter is over. I have had over twenty years and am looking forward to many more. Living isolated, close to nature, and in tune with the seasons gives my life a lot more meaning than most people will ever experience. I want to get others to see how wonderful life is, but they will never understand as long as they are wrapped up in the world and its ways. I can not bring others to where I am and where I am going.
We are far superior to animals, they die without ever knowing anything about death. They still have a strong desire and ability to stay alive, but it is more of an inborn instinct than a conscience decision or plan. When a fawn see its mother get smashed to death by a speeding car, it will miss its mother, but never be able to fully understand what happened. If deer could reason better, they would soon learn to watch out for cars.
Our wonderful physical life.
There are a thousand things we could spend an entire day thinking about, like our eyes and the gift of sight, and still not begin to comprehend how wonderful they are. The sad thing is most people seldom consider how wonderfully we and the world we live in are made.
I have the ability to sit here and remember thousands of things about my senior year of high school. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation. I would like to go to my reunion, but I would be going for all the wrong reasons. They did not understand me 50 years ago and now we are light years apart. The celebration of my life is internal more than external. Many people look for approval and acceptance from others, but others are only concerned about themselves. The world and its ways no longer interest me, my spiritual life is all that I want to live for.
Our super, wonderful spiritual life.
We all have spiritual connections and needs only the spiritual world can begin to satisfy. Most people do not understand their physical life, so there is little hope they will ever grasp their spiritual life. The sad thing is this short physical life is just a test to see how and where we will spend the rest of eternity when we die and become full spiritual beings. I no longer judge or condemn how other people live, my only concern is how I live.
We all have the same chance because we were all born with a conscience that prompts us as to what is right and wrong. We will not have an argument or alibi on judgment day, we will know what we deserve by how well we followed the prompting of our conscience.
There is only one God, but today many believe there is no God. We will not know for sure until we die, but we when we choose to follow our conscience we will have the best possible physical life and the best possible spiritual life when we die. There is only one right way to live in both this physical world and spiritual world, and that is by the teachings of Jesus and our conscience.
