Topic: Before and After (05/14/09)
This world is spinning out of control- it is a world of never enough. We want so much. There are never enough material things, especially money. We get so lost in a world that has forgotten too much until it’s too late. Everyone takes lives, health, money and possessions for granted and when we loose them we realise how much more we wanted. Some things we can live with out like money and possessions, and there are some things such as our lives and that of family and loved ones that we can not.

People weren’t created to make money or to have nice things, we are born in the world through love and that is essentially our purpose, to love. There can never be enough love to give or to receive. There can never be enough moments to show you care, or tell someone that you love them or hold them. There is never enough times that you can give, help or pray, never enough humility, honesty, respect, trust and loyalty, and certainly not enough faith and hope.

We live in a whimsical society; a disposable society. Too much is given away in the meaningless and not enough in what is right and true. It is not until we loose everything we held close but afar that we see that we never gave or had enough, and that is something we can never get back. We need to turn the world of never enough into a place of no regrets, a place of realism and humility, somewhere that we feel loved so that when we loose someone we love we don’t have to feel as though we never had enough or said enough because they know we did. The past we can not change but we can transform our future relationships into something beautiful, the past shows us the error of our ways so that the future will always be enough.

Good pointers on what is truly important in our lives. Triple check spelling and sentence structure. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I believe you are right, that the focus today is more on worldly possessions. Thank you for sharing.

It is so true and important for us to learn that the past shows us the error of our ways so that the future will always be enough. Thank you for sharing.
