The difficulties seem to overpower us


My God, may I ask You?

I find life becoming more and more difficult, not because of my personal situation, for I am a happy person. But I also see it in people around me. There are so many concerns about the war, about the economy, about the environment, about the negative impact of the Internet on youth, about so on. I see that people are brooding, suffering from melancholy, looking up the future, expecting disasters. And so do I.

How do we keep this up?

And the farmer just ploughed on, your father told his family when there were difficulties and he saw that you were slogging too much into it. And that's what I'm saying to you now. You just have to keep going and I can't reassure you. It gets worse. 

And My only advice is: try to live as healthy as possible physically and mentally. Try to keep your inner peace. In the meantime, try to enjoy the beautiful things in life. And try to prepare yourselves for the worst thing that can happen to a human being such as disease, hunger, despair, sorrow, fear and destruction. Then it may not be so bad in your own life.

Have faith, have patience, be prepared because you do know neither day nor hour, live in the here and now, cherish beautiful memories and do not wallow too much in fear and worry. Live, live in the meantime, and comfort yourself with the words that the farmer just ploughed on. Great wisdom, great insight, great experience. Because that is what you have to do. Just keep going. Anyway.    

And in all cases, after your short-lived life of beauty and happiness, of uncertainty and difficulty, of opportunity and risk, a glorious life after physical death awaits you. Trust that. 

My blessings to you all
