Living And Existing...

Living for oneself is such a waste of life. A moment of kindness, a glimpse of compassion or a small act of selflessness gives so much more meaning to our lives rather than the accumulation of things and stuff. It is in these moments of puritanical humanity, that we find a glimpse into goodness and into the art of living.

In all our other mundane activities that we associate with our routine, we simply touch a fraction of the surface of just existing. But in the warmth and immediate welling of love for another, we find the great mysteries of being present on this planet and experiencing the magnanimity of it's awesome wonder. Living and existing are two different things, and people who have never practiced selflessness in their lives do not know the meaning of living.

Death is perhaps a far better companion than a life that has lost its capacity for kindness. At least the silence isn’t capable of cruelty…
