Life should be easy...
Submitted by Volunteer on February 19, 2008 - 16:48. General | life | Philosophy
We were all born to this world free from guilt and free from worries only to become adult and full of prestige and stress. Somewhere along the way we forgot what life was all about. Life should be easy with lots of happy moments. Why do we make it so hard for ourselves, I wonder. Wouldn´t it be possible for an adult to view the world with the innocent eyes of a child? It would make things a lot easier, wouldn´t it? To live life here and now and not always think about before and after. I´d love to be able to see the life that way. It´s like you spend all your adult life in hunt for that peace and you probably won´t find it until your´re lying there 98 years old on your bed only hours away from afterlife.
Every day is a gift
Submitted by Volunteer on February 14, 2008 - 19:49. General | Health | life | Lifestyle | PhilosophySometimes it´s hard to appreciate life. It´s hard to find inner peace in the present and enjoy one´s life to the fullest. Most of us that live in the modern western societies seem to have problems and complaints about all kinds of things in our every day lifes. Put in perspective most of our problems are ridicoulously small. When you have your own home, your food on the table and you feel safe, then you don´t really have anything to worry about. It´s when these things are lost that we realise how good a life we really had. It might be someone close getting sick or dying, or oneself getting sick, or loosing one´s home and livelihood.
