What are you doing the rest of your life?

Answer 1

Trying to get this right.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Just try to be happy most of the times... in order to remove unhappiness, I find that unfavourable events affect me too much... so I am trying to learn to take all events in life with equanimity... in trying to do this, I find that my ego and self-pride are the greatest hurdles... so I am reminding myself how 'small' I am in relation to this huge universe and how minuscule my own time is in the context of this vast time frame in which the universe is operating. I am hoping that once I can have the requisite humility about my powers and claims, unfavourable events would no longer be able to upset me to that extent as they normally do.

In short, I am doing nothing, but in essence I have a major goal to achieve which is to know how small and minuscule I really am.

Answer 5

put up with life. i know it sounds unpleasant. basically i m happy with life. have every comfort of life. no disappointment. but when i said, "put up with life" trust me i was trying to be very neutral to release my philosophy. if I don't want to count life from any personal view. because man are so partial. many men many mind.

think of other existing beings. what do they think of their existence. even though many of them do not think. ok not thinking may be. but their must be something they do or feel about their being (life or dead-life).

what i mean is, but for our feelings about individual our lives, what could be the most common reason that we are living for. it is because, we are ought to live. now, how finely we are living with life is not relevant here.

so, don't assume my first sentence as a negative approach of life.
