Dying
Is there anything worse than physically dying? I think there are circumstances that come close and here is why.
I have always been, which has been reaffirmed throughout my life, spiritual and am thankful to God/Jesus and secure in my own beliefs. I don't try to push my religion/faith onto others nor do I judge others for their belief, lifestyles, etc. I bring this aspect up because I have always believed that there is more in "life" than this physical world (i.e. there is a heaven) and also that true love never dies.
But I also believe that there are many things, some of which I have experienced, that can be tormenting such as; the loss of a loved one, being diagnosed with a terminal disease, being kept away from those you love, having your freedom taken away, being weighed down (mentally, physically, emotionally, etc.) with regrets, not living one's life past their fears, knowing you are (whole and/or in part) responsible for the dissolution of the relationship with your (true) soul mate, not to be willing to truly change, etc.
I also know that no matter how bad you think things are that there are millions who have it much worse. That others have gone through the same things and come out better. That God's plan for us it way beyond my own capabilities. That at the end of the day you either go to bed knowing you did the best you could, for yourself or loved ones, or you didn't.
I honestly want the best for others and I am thankful for so many things in my life while always praying for others espically my loved ones, family, and friends. And I hope that my loved ones, friends, and family truly know how much they have enriched my life and how much I thank and love them as well as being honored by, and proud of, them.
As Elvis Presley once said "you only go around in this life once jack so enjoy, and give, each day".
Though I wasn't as good at true forgiveness in my earlier years I have improved in this aspect knowing harboring ill will/intent causes me (as an example) more adverse effects than the other person/people involved.
Well, thanks as deep as I can go at this moment in time but I put it out there as it is a positive endeavor for me and just maybe is for you as well.
Take care and may God bless you and yours...always.
