You NeedLight and Not Eyes to Enjoy and Celebrate Life

hi thesids, It is very hard to accept the realities of life and as an old saying goes ‘life is not a bed of roses’. When we are sad or gloomy we only think about ourselves and feel that our problem is great and get panicked as how to handle. As jai has rightly said, greed makes men blind and forgets to enjoy the little happiness of life. Ending life is no solution for problems. Accidents or natural calamities are not in our hands so the moment I am out from my house, I think of god as well when I am back home safely, I thank god. I too have faced too much hurdles in life but now I have learnt to accept life with challenges and now if I have a problem, then I look at from all sides of it and trying to resolve it in the best way as I could and so be positive…

Your title says it all. Light is more than just photons hitting the retina of our eyes. And our eyes do not even pick up the entire spectrum of light. There is so much more to life than what our senses perceive. We need to seek that which is not so obvious. Jesus said; 'I am the way, the truth, and the light.' He makes the path clear, he shows us what is beyond our senses. He reveals what we cannot see with our eyes alone.

Well this also cross my mind my dear Sids, often times people get toooo occupied with what is going on with their own lives that they think what they are going through is the worst. Sometimes, i am guilty of this. I would sulk and act as if my problems are the worst yet God reminds me again that it isn't.And it is true when moody even the smile of mr.sun won't make me smile! One time i was wrong about some financial problems and a commercial on television showed the hunger and famine that is going around in some areas of the world and it made me realize how luckier we are.. that somehow we get to eat more than three times a day, we get to still eat ice cream, or eat chocolates when in fact some children have not tasted any of it. I have seen how children look like back in Somalia, all suffering from hunger and malnutrition. Even here in my country, i have seen those children happily playing with just simple kites while my children enjoys a bit expensive toys... My dad even told me one time, he went home to his province, i gave him my children's old clothes, old shoes all can still be worn... and he came home my dad and told me how happy the children are back in the Province to have those even though they are used.. there is too much we take for granted and there is too much to be appreciated. like our life for one

i guess that would a 'how to' than a ' my not-so acclaimed and self taught' many would agree with you but it is hard in practice i know that this life is a treasure but when the misery knock on my door i would be please if those come to an end

I think people are always having two sides and they often forget the brighter side of things. That's what they lack most so life is not celebrated when they are in the damp. But then, amidst on those 'darkness of life,' there's always a good thing about it. We learn how to be strong, to stop and see ourself how we are coping up. Its actually an opportunity to believe more in u and in the people around u. People just need to realize that every time they have that morning to wake up, its already an opportunity to celebrate life because u r alive once again. :)

My dearest Sid, nowadays I try to see and appreciate the beauty of life no matter how harsh the world is. I want to live for my son, for my family and most especially for myself. I'm loving myself more than i did before and i am looking at the light rather than the darkness.

There is a saying that “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”, but how can you see beauty if it is dark? You need light and not eyes to enjoy and celebrate life. Beauty in darkness cannot be seen and enjoyed. You need to have light and shine to enjoy it.
