Knowledge

Act in accordance of what you know to be right.
Follow this to create the most good for others and yourself.

Life is a continuous process of change
that we must allow ourselves to be part of.
To obstinately hold on to that which
is no longer meant to be ours
is to suffer anguish at our inability to keep it.

No matter how strong and youthful you may be now
you will age and your body will begin to prepare
itself for it's return to the elements. Illness and
aging are inescapable. No human, no matter their
poverty or wealth, no matter their moral or immoral
actions, is immune to the will of nature and time.

To purposely cloud our body and mind
is to fog the truth of understanding and actions
that we must take in our lives.
To move forward with purpose and energy
we must remove self-inflicted obstacles
to our betterment.
To move forward we must takes steps
every day. It does not matter if it is only
one step or thousands, it matters that
steps are taken.

We all suffer. This knowledge should lead to
greater harmony and compassion amongst all of us
but it does not. Our pain, anguish, sorrow,
and disappointments have been felt by others before.
Our pain is universal. We must strive not to end
suffering, but to lessen it, to learn from it,
to use it to grow closer to one another
in a deeper understanding of each other
and of our true nature as humans.

Love alone will not solve all the ills of this world
but it is our strongest tool in our struggle. We must use
it unsparingly and spread it to every beating heart
of our world.

You are deeply loved.
