What is the Meaning of Life:
Over the thousands and thousands of years of our existence, this has been a question that has plagued humanity. Many have dedicated their lives to whatever religion was trendy at the time and some times, not so trendy, claiming, “that was it, that was the mean of life” you should hereby dedicate yourself to XYZ religion and send the check to:… well you get the point.But what if I could give you the meaning of life in one word? One word that you would immediately recognize and it would resound with you as truth. what if I were to tell you that the mean of life is so simple that it has alluded all of us this whole time. its so simple and yet so complex that the how to execute the meaning will still be the center of arguments for years et to come. which is Ironic, because the mean of life, is Love.
Like I said, so simple and yet so complex. May be the better question is how do we love? What does that look like? My answer is, I’m not always sure what it should look like just but I’m almost certain of what it shouldn’t look like. I would like to take a page from one book that says: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I think Focusing on love will change our world, maybe not for the perfect, but at least for the better. Start by focusing on YOUR actions, realize that people notice you. even if you think they don’t, I guarantee someone is watching even if its just waiting for you to screw up, they are watching. People notice. but even if they don’t, focus on love for YOU. Not to love yourself, thats gross, and not hard to do. most people think mostly of themselves. I used to tell my children, “it doesn’t matter what others think of you, in fact it doesn’t really matter what YOU think of YOU, what really matters is what YOU think THEY think of you” and the really is, THEY are not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what you might think about them. People have a tendency to be self focused, or as we often call it, self centered. See, simple: but with LOVE its meant to be Outward facing. it’s really about how we treat others. how we make other more important than ourselves. then others will fell compelled to do the same.
I’m just going to leave that here, let me know your thought on the subject.
