� Introduction. � � � � � �������������� Life was once simple. People had only to think about their life and staying alive; nothing else mattered to them. The primitive man had a quiet life, not so many disturbances or distraction. His life was not so complex and he had very few options. People now live a very complicate and complex life. Everything is done in a hurry. People are disturbed with the hatred of others; they don't live their life. Machines are ruling on us when it was intended that it would be the other way around. People don't look around; they forgot the nature that is around them.������������������������� �������������������������������������������������� They forgot life! �� |

� � The Life. � � � � � �������������� If we think where we came from, we have to look not at our close past as the answer, but look way back at the beginning of human kind. At the beginning of life. At the creation of our planet; and the answer will be - the universe. We all came from the universe. Every human being, every tree, every flower, every stone, everything born of the universe. They all came from the same womb and are a part of the universe. People look only at things that are near them. They fell lonely. They fell insecure. They never look at what is around them. They hardly ever try looking at the whole picture; they have forgotten the world of nature. The universe will unfold it self to anyone who will desire to be a part of it - one with the universe. � �������������� Our life comes from the universe; it is a part of it. If we can understand that we have to start asking our selves what is our destination, why was this life given to us. The Japanese say one is born drunk and dies dreaming (suisei - mushi). It describes how many of us live when we are born without understanding the meaning of it and dying still not understanding. Living this way means wasting the life that was given to you with distress about your death. Thinking one who is born with good looks or a good writer or a talented artist is "chosen" - is wrong. Everyone is chosen. The fact that you have been born, being given the life by the universe means that our life is chosen. The fact a human was born human and not a plant or a stone means he entered a chosen life. �������������� A chosen life means, a goal to achieve something in this world. Everyone has to know or look for his own calling. Felling you have to accomplish something means you have found your life calling. The universe is evolving, growing, developing; ones life calling has to be in that process of the universe, cause he gave us life - which we have to understand. A person; one person is part of this whole universe he is a light which lights this vast universe. Being a better one means making the universe a better place by one person, making your light brighter and one light can light many more and become the light, the power that illuminates the whole world. |
