THE FOCUS IS ON LIVING. DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A LIFE OR ARE YOU MERELY PASSING THE TIME ON EARTH?
EVERY DAY, WE MOVE CLOSER TO THE COMPLETION OF OUR LIVES. WE CAN ONLY ENJOY OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST BEFORE PASSING AWAY. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAN A LOVELY DEMISE. HOW DO WE TYPICALLY ACT? WE NEVER STOP PUTTING THINGS OFF TILL TOMORROW. OUR AMBITIONS ARE CONTINUALLY PUT OFF UNTIL WE REALISE THAT IT'S ALREADY LATE.
YOU CAN REALLY ONLY LIVE IN THE NOW. LIVE IN THE PRESENT. YOUR TOMORROW WILL NEVER BE BRIGHTER IF YOU WORRY ABOUT THE PAST.
ANXIETY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES' GETTING PASSED:
WHEN A LOVED ONE PASSES AWAY, WE ARE ALL SADDENED AND FILLED WITH SORROW. SOMETIMES EVEN EXPERIENCE DEPRESSION. NOT THAT I'M SUGGESTING IT'S INCORRECT. IT IS AS IF A PIECE OF OUR LIFE IS MISSING. BUT WE SHOULDN'T GO INSANE, AT THE VERY LEAST. WE OUGHT TO CONSIDER THINGS DIFFERENTLY AS WELL. FOR HIM OR HER, THIS CAN MARK A NEW BEGINNING.
HUMANS REALLY AREN'T THEIR BODIES. WE ARE ALL ULTIMATE SOULS, AND THESE SOULS ARE ETERNAL. THEY SIMPLY ALTER THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, MUCH AS YOU DO.
I RECENTLY WATCHED THE FANTASTIC SCIENCE FICTION FILM WARRIORS OF THE UNIVERSE. PETER IS SHOWN IN THE INTRODUCTORY SCENE WITNESSING HIS MOTHER PASS AWAY. PETER, TAKE MY HAND, HIS MOTHER SAYS TO HIM, MEREDITH QUILL. HE DIDN'T APPROACH HER, THOUGH. PETER HARBOURED FEARS RELATED TO HIS MOTHER AND DEATH. HE WASN'T PREPARED TO TAKE IT. SHE LEFT HER SON A NOTE BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY. SIMON EXAMINES THE LETTER DURING THE CLIMAX:
QUOTE;
"HELLO, EDWARD: I AM AWARE THAT YOU WILL FIND THIS DIFFICULT, BUT I AM LEAVING FOR A GOOD PLACE. BUT REST ASSURED, MY PRINCE AND ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, THAT I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU.
SUCH BEAUTIFUL LINES, I SHOULD ADD. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT BOTH THEY AND WE ARE HEADING TO A BETTER POSITION. THEY WOULDN'T ENJOY SEEING US CRY IF THEY WERE LOOKING DOWN ON US BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE. THEY WOULD LIVE INSIDE OF US AND BE WITH US FOREVER. THEREFORE, NEVER EVER BE AFRAID OF DYING. ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE IT LASTS.
