When you look back on a life lived over several years it becomes harder and harder to keep a straight face. Not withstanding life’s joyful and tragic moments, it is very difficult to miss the absurdity of it all.
Most absurd of all are those among us who really believe they had a lot to do with their good fortune. When one looks back on the gifts we are given that ironically seem to show up when we need them most, you have to wonder how all of this works.
You don’t want to ask too many questions here. I would simply be grateful for being around. And maybe that is the best answer of all—gratitude.
If karma exists, gratitude has to be its mother. With gratitude, we are able to say thank you more often. We tend to be more generous and as a result increase our willingness to do good and to be more charitable.
So the next time you are patting yourself on the back for the blessings bestowed upon you – stop for a minute and say, thank you. And then go do something nice for someone…….
