Life

I sometimes wonder why we as humans care so little about life. Take a look at the sides of the roads as we travel from place to place; the trash that is thrown out car windows is amazing. We have no respect for the nature that surrounds us. We joke about the roadkill that lies on the sides of or even pulverized in the middle of the roads, forgetting that these mounds of blooding flesh were at one time living creatures that helped keep the balance of nature thriving.

We are the fictional characters on the motion pictures screen being watched by the real people centuries from now in the movie theaters who are our great, great grandchildren, sickened by what they see of the corrupted culture we have become. They are so happy that their society has left behind the selfishness of their ancestors of centuries past. Yes folks, I’m talking about our great, great grandchildren thinking of us as fictional characters who never understood right from wrong. Never understood that respecting God’s creation is much more important that amassing selfish avariciousness.

We are very lucky to have been led by a teacher who came to us bearing nothing by a will to lead us into a life of spiritual beauty, one that is not distant or impossible to achieve, but one that is ever present and allows us to be truly the whole man and whole woman, capable of living a very powerful spirit-led life. This is a life that leaves loneliness behind, because it is filled with the brotherhood an sisterhood that only God can fill.

This teacher came to bring people from far and near, people who believed differently from far and near, people who looked different from far and near to pray together, to sing together, to share a meal together that God gives us every day. This is the life that God promises. This is the life of love that this teacher asks us to follow; this is the life that many wise prophets from many cultures teach us to follow, regardless of what religion they are from. It is a life of peace and love. It is a life of sharing a single meal given to us from God, regardless of what name we use for Him.
