"If you consider the gifts you have received in life to be given in trust, then you will have great value for them and will use them wisely"
Having a human body, a sound mind, a loving family, good education and camaraderie of the wise, if a man/woman wastes the life, then there is no bigger fool than him/her! Animals do not have body or mind able enough to comprehend the mysteries of life. Humans generally don't value them, although they are gifts given to them. A healthy mind cannot be possible without a healthy and disease-free body. Having these two, knowledge cannot be acquired without a proper teacher, our parents (family) being our first teachers. These conditions are perfect for spiritual realization. If we consider them as gifts, we will value them. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect. If we were perfect we would not have been here. Point is to overcome them and not repeat them. Learn the lesson, dump the guilt and move on. Time won't wait for us even if we keep sulking over our misgivings. It will keep moving. Change is the unchangeable law of nature. We can either carry the burdensome emotional baggage with us in this journey or simply feed off of the things we experience, gain what we must gain, embed it in our being, make it our nature so its easy to use and carry, jump in the flow and relax. Destination shall arrive when the time will come. All we need is inspiration and determination.

hey, cool post. i've been reading your blog on and off.... thought you'd stopped updating so hadn't come back in over a year. this post was especially interesting. i agree with a lot of it. i just have one question about this sentence: 'Animals do not have body or mind able enough to comprehend the mysteries of life.' i'm not saying they do or they don't ... i was just wondering why you thought this? (don't worry, whatever you reply, i won't go on a rampage)
