Every person experiences hurt, pain and suffering. The sources are depression and anxiety. The degree of duress is different for everyone.
It was a long time ago when I started meditating on the reasons for pain and suffering. Through this meditation I came to the conclusion that the majority of our pain and suffering is due to how we identify the events of our life. This is why I write a lot on being positive, realistic, and optimistic.
It is unfortunate that many people are victims of severe abuse. Under no circumstance are my efforts to be interpreted as minimizing people’s life experiences.
However, I am firmly convinced that our thoughts influence our emotions and sensations, which in turn influence our behavior. The reason we “feel” as if there is something is missing in our lives is due to living unnatural lives.
The media in our environment gives messages about what is valuable in life. The majority of these message are wrong.
We exist to have a great life experience. We can have this experience by being good and decent people who pursue what is fun in life with simple healthy pleasures of life.
Unfortunately, our culture teaches us to be cruel and vulgar. We waste time judging our neighbor, lying to our neighbor, or worse.
If our focus in life is our selves, then we are not wasting time having bad thoughts about people around us. I know all of us pay attention to what is wrong in our society. The majority of time we say this thing is wrong because this person is a bad person.
Mr. Glenn Beck pretends to be morally superior then Mr. Donald Trump. I have heard Mr. Beck say “that guy is a Son of a Bitch” on his radio show about some politician. Today, Mr Beck said “ ...Mitch McConnell you can ...” The F U word wasn’t pronounced. However, the slapping noise I heard was representatives of when a person folds his left hand upwards and then slaps his left bicep with his right hand. In addition, for some time Beck and Company spend time laughing at Mr. Donald Trump’s sons.
None of this foolishness by Beck has anything to do with the serious issues that face America. These behaviors are proof of everything I am talking about in this article. We waste to much time negatively criticizing each other.
We can very easily have the life we want. All have to do is value what has true value. Our culture does not promote marriage and parenthood. Our culture does not promote buying a home and raising a family. Our culture does not promote sense of accomplishment from providing for our selves and our family members with our labor.
Now, the superficial ideas are there. However, the in depth understanding of how children and spouses are joys and pleasures in life is missing. Banks want people to spend a lot in a house. However, there is a little information on what really makes a house a home. Many think decorations and BBQ grills make a home.
Memories of developing children and memories of special events make a house a home. Imagine a world where people are living satisfying lives because they are actively engaged in consuming what is good and decent in life.
I have to come to the conclusion that a lot modern day depression is because many of us do not know how to fill time with simple healthy pleasures of life. When we were children no one have to tell us how to play and have fun. However, now that we are adults we cannot sing, dance, laugh, engage in human contact, or enjoy other great elements of life.
Christ wants us to be meek, humble people who are pure, righteous, nice, and are enjoying life. The holy spirit guides us to focus on our selves and respect our neighbors as individuals created in the image of God and who God loves.
The next time you say that person is fat an ugly keep in mind that you are saying that God is fat and ugly. Remember we were all created in the image of God. Therefore, any personal attack on a fellow human being is an attack on God.
In addition, the ugliness in the world is due to our distance from God. God is not just telling us to follow His commandments with out question. With His commandments God is teaching us how to feel good in life and have Peace, Love, and Joy. If every person was focused on being pure and righteous people, there would be less tragedy in life.
Good and decency generates and energizes the increase of goodwill in our selves and others. Therefore, we can help each other be good people. We can also improve our society by following the guidance and instructions of God.
God is love. God wants us to love our selves and love each other. By living a more natural life we can have a better life and a better society. A natural life is one with full awareness of living according to the “will of God”.
Yes, life is so valuable that the reason to investigate all crimes and put criminals in jail is so at least the victim can have justice.
