Doing

Doing things for others gives a certain pleasure-and sometimes I feel some people give more than others-because they can, and they want to. Selfless giving is one of the highest forms of love, as we experience it with kids. When we have this relationship with our peers and equals, it changes the dynamics of that relationship. In my mind it has raised some questions which I put forth here:

Until what extent can we keep it completely simple?

Is there sustaining power in this relationship, and more importantly, does it come at a price?

As we try to understand the purpose of things, meaning of life, what we do, and why we do, these become important questions.

This brings me to what I consider one of the most essential points to remember in our lives-a point we all know-

But I am not sure how many of us really keep it in our line of vision at all times

The point being: we live this life once-this day comes once as does this moment

So we should try to do what we really want to be doing right now……

And if that includes doing something for another person it automatically breathes life into the moment…and makes it all worthwhile

But this is not giving-it is doing for yourself what you really want to do-not because the other person asks or you want to give-its because you want to do.

We are doing for ourselves what makes us happy-being selfish in our selflessness

if you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.”
