Reality is that thing that most people seem to hate. The opposite thing of course is the things we love. For instance, a walk on the beach, a good movie, a close friend, or sleeping late are just a few of those things a lot of people love to spend time doing. Most of us spend our days doing a job we do not love and worrying about things like paying bills or a bad back or being on time for the next event, meeting or business arrangement.
Most things we love take us to that place we dream about if only in our minds. I like to run for not just that since of accomplishment, but that time to just think and contemplate apart from the necessities of job and responsibility. Money after all seems to provide the means to do so much of what we might love, especially when we are young enough to enjoy it. Ironically many people spend there whole lives slaving for the opportunity to do the things they love. True children are those blessings and complications which cause us to sacrifice even more in hopes of providing a brighter future.
Guess what so many things cannot be controlled or even earned. Accidents, chance and destiny seem to play a part in all our lives. To those who are fortunate enough to win in life the search for inner peace may be avoided. To those whom suffer may they find inner peace? Religion, art, music seem to be able to provide these moments of inner peace and contemplation. Rich or Poor, Great or Small may you find this peace---although if you are poor and small you may truly be able to enjoy it more.
“I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens…. I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength. Philippians 4: 11-13
