We Have Been Given LIFE

 

As we enter the last couple of days of September 2025, I am reminded that time seems to move faster as we get older which is good sometimes like when you have an upset stomach or nothing seems to be going right...

But, each day is a blessing of sorts, in the sense that you are above ground and will soon not be, so regardless of the day being good or bad, one should take advantage of it...

Earlier I read where some billionaires are investing heavily in items they think will extend their lives...  while also investing heavily in research that will extend the lives of human beings.  Maybe they gain five to ten years of additional life and can use that time to double or triple their net worth...  THEY WILL STILL DIE...

For me, money does not provide me with happiness; it provides me with opportunities to have what I never thought I would have or see, but that is not necessarily happiness.

Happiness is illusive to most Americans and Global citizens; the exception being the HINDU MONKS who see happiness as finding enlightenment.

Look at it another way...

Our religious God and Jesus never spoke of wealth is the sense of it being what one should seek during their lives...

WHY???

Do our religious beliefs not see becoming wealthy as something we should strive for?

And yet, lots of wealthy people thank God for giving them the money.

Why do they not thank Jesus too?

For me, I see our religious faith and seeking wealth as being mutually exclusive and one does not beget the other...  if it does, it is just coincidence...

None of those wealthy people share their wealth with poor people to the extent they would redistribute 80% of their wealth...

They may share 1-2%...

This posting started out focusing on time and it is time that I want to end with.

Time equals life.

Life is precious.

One should accept the life that one has been given as that gift has been given for a reason that you may never discover in your lifetime.

Use nature as an example as to how you should live your life.

It's just a metaphor.
