There is no shortcut to every destination of value (Arabic proverb)
Would You like to elaborate on this?
Can you say something about it for yourself first?
Oh yes, if that's what You want.
I notice that the ego likes to have it easily. And
that every goal, every beautiful goal, every important thing, well, that has to
be fought for, worked hardly, practiced hardly, maybe no blood sweat tears, but
effort, and perseverance and keep on trying. And
that perhaps that is also the difference between a saint and an ordinary
person. The saint continues on the road where an ordinary person leaves off
after a while. So what you see now with populist politicians, and for that
matter in the whole of modern times: promising quickly and getting home soon.
And that's not how life works.
Welcome to Earth, My
good son.
This is
it.
It is certainly true
that the
road is
the goal.
And while
practicing and struggling,
it is
good if
a person
also looks
around and in
the meantime enjoys all
the beauty and the good
that is
around him. And
wonderful and unexpected
things can happen
in a
person's life, that's
for sure.
But most of the time, life is a long and uncertain and hard struggle with many failures and worries and problems, with many sorrows. But oh oh how wonderful when the goal is achieved, the art is learned, the striving has results, making happiness, comforting, healing and certainly giving strength. In this way life is very beautiful. Experiencing success, achieving what has been tried for so long, experiencing the joy of the new art or achievement.
And man's difficulty can be, not that he tries and that he doesn't succeed, but that he doesn't go on, doesn't get up, doesn't try again, doesn't accept that life is hard, full of uncertainties and that everything has to be built, everything. The prince in shining armour visits few people.
And
actually, the human being is happy who accepts his misfortune and knows that a
long, often arduous road can lead to beautiful places.
And
then, of course, we also have the promise of eternal life, the Good God who
keeps an eye on everything, the spiritual helpers on earth who are endlessly
available.
So
all in all, isn´t life worth living after all?
My blessings to you all
