Live And Love!

The most precious of things in life are people. Yet we thrash them everyday to chase after the worthless. The greatest of treasures are hidden in people. Yet we relate with people for the wrong reasons. We swindle, hurt and break people to attain worthless things we believe pulls us closer to the height of fulfillment. Yet the pain we feel when we lose those things can’t be compared to the pain people could effect on us by falling out or dying. It couldn't even be compared to the pain that could come by their words. Indeed with people, everything is for a lifetime. Memories last a life time. And that which lasts, whether of joy or pain, is that which should be cherished. For it is that which truly has the power of impact. 

A person doesn’t have to be ‘worldly’ great to make eternal impact, they just have to live. Everything people do, they do with themselves; to themselves; and they do to others. Now memories are evidence that you have lived! They’re evidence that you have impacted and have been impacted. It doesn’t matter whether the memories are of celebrations or regrets. Celebrations make good memories. They tell of life! But regrets do not fall short; for regret speaks of mistakes; and mistakes speak of impact: impact speaks of life; and life speaks of you. And if memory, a mechanism of life, works in you and in others, to tell of you and of others, then you must realize that you’re an eternal print on the sands of time — an eternal tale in the book of life. You are the most precious thing there is in all of creation; as are all people! And it’s whether or not you know it; whether or not you believe it. 

It is people who are the greatest of treasure. And so in a materialistic world, it is people who should be cherished, not things. For things do not create new feelings in people who possess them. Everything we seek because of every way we want to feel, we can already feel! But if we deny ourselves our ability to freely feel these things by attaching conditions to them, then our lives would be miserable tales. 

Most things that we desire to achieve, when we achieve, gives us nothing new. We just make achievements the conditions to the pride and joys we want to feel in ourselves all the time. And when there are conditions to feeling proud of one’s self, we would always seek to achieve something new. And this guarantees us feeling unfulfilled. You see, we could live celebrated all the time, but the world does not permit us this lifestyle without achievements. So in the world today, heaven is far beyond reach. People are limited and limiting others because of ignorance. If one doesn’t allow himself to be celebrated without achievements, why would he celebrate another without it? It’s why people are miserable! None could freely celebrate themselves without being mercilessly cut down by another who finds no evidence of achievement. 

Nevertheless, celebration is a state of being. And that state exists in our being. There are certain things we permit ourselves to feel when we celebrate. And these things have always been in us. The causes of celebration do not produce these things in us. They only serve as the ignorant man’s permission to eat of his own abundance. Truly, there’s no life as miserable as the one ignorantly lived. 

Stop stomping the true treasures, running in the shoes of ignorance after mundane things. Stop downing people. Stop breaking people. Stop hating people. Stop ignoring people. 

Everything you seek; every way you want to feel to be who you want to be, is already in you! There is no greater place where heaven could be built, than in the beings of men. They are the ones who own eternal tales. They are the ones who live for memories! Do not be enchanted by the glories of history. For they would cause you to miss out on the abundance of your life by making you seek to plant your life’s stories in the lands of the future. The future is not for you. You’re not there so it cannot accept your seed. If you seek the future to tell of the story of your impact, you’ll miss out on the only ones who could see and experience it. Your land is here. It is now! The fruits of life you seek in the future — joy at your name and adoration for your being; those fruits could only be found in people. But the one who doesn’t first realize it in themselves could never taste it in anyone. And if you want to eat of those fruits, you can’t taste it in the future. You must do it in your own lifetime. You must live now. The gardens exist in you and in the people around you. Live and love.
