I came to realize that there is more to this life than I formerly believed. In knowing this, a completely new world of senses has opened up. I also came to realize how so much rot is present in the materialistic world (including in me) and how irrelevant or even detrimental material existence is. Lastly I have attempted to bond more and better with others such as by constantly analyzing their point of view and how to benefit them.
I’ve understood and accepted all the suffering I’ve been through since I was born because it made me who I am today and brought me to this point. And now I look back and realize, it wasn’t always all that bad. It’s as if I’m being led or pushed towards a specific purpose. If I get in it’s way, I “suffer”. If I change my perception of the past and the present and question the intention behind my desires, I experience more joy.
Wow…I enjoy reading everyone else’s wonderful responses. I have begun to understand that there reasons for the things that have caused my life to take the turnes that it has, however (don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this), I am having to think (through what feels like a brown paper bag over my brain) of years of religious dogma, preconcieved notions, and egoic motivations. Its like I need an earthquake to shake it all down to rubble so I can start building again. I am still dealing with lesson one and the concept of G-d and nature being one, so I am moving at a snails pace here but moving just the same.
