Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How To Live Happiness In Life

By Ricky Steves


The ultimate purpose in life is simple. It is to be happy. We go to work to be happy with our salary and what we have in our lives. We do sports because we enjoy playing with other people. Happiness is what drives people to do things. But there are others whose happiness seem unreachable and it may seem that life is not giving them enough reason to live.

So, to find out what is your happiness, here are some ways for you to discover what truly makes you happy.

Be contented. The first thing in life to be happy is to be contented with what you have right now. Think about those people who want to eat the food that you eat but are not able to because they do not have money to buy them. Be happy with what you have right now because not all people have them.

Share. Sharing does wonders to the soul. Ever experience volunteering to help the poor and get to share some of your things and you receive authentic smiles from them? That feeling alone is what we call as true happiness. It is that warm feeling we feel when we share happiness.

In life, we are at constant battle for achievements. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. People tend to be sad and frustrated all because they are focusing their attention at their failure and neglect what they have achieved. Shift your attention to your achievements and you will discover that life is much less complex than you thought.

Forgive. Take that bitterness out of you and throw it away. Learn how to forgive others that made wronged you in the past and make amends. You will soon discover that hatred has weighed upon you and that massive weight is lifted once you have forgiven that someone.

Learn positive thinking. It is also called optimism. A lot of people who practice optimism in their lives tend to be happier. Things sometimes are not in your favor and sometimes they do so smile and face the world.

All of the tips above does not cost you money so you can try them out as often as possible. Happiness has always been within our reach. People are just too blind by their ambition that they are not able to see it.
