The other day was watching news on CNN and they were interviewing Syrian refugees.One former businessman captured the hopelessness that is the life of a refugee,he said I never ever imagined that there will be a time when Ill depend on others even for the water that I drink. I felt his pain as I do for millions,if not billions,of my fellow human beings who are barely surving here on planet earth.Obviously wars cause the most suffering on a large and sudden scale;one day you were a succesful businessman/lady,owning a double-storey mansion and a few German sedans and fully,and perhaps righfully so,that you have been blessed by God/Alah/Ancestors,and the next thing your mansion is flattened and you only have piles of rubble as prove of what was once a seemingly undistructible and solid structure? Yaa neh,all structures are impermanent,even the seemingly solid ones,so says Eckhart Tolle. And what should be the lessons for You and I everytime we see these catastrophes,when we entire cities flattened by tsunamis or earthquakes such as the one some yrs back in Haiti that added to what was already a difficult existence for Haitians;are they not the poorest country on planet earth? My first reaction to tragedies such as these is to DEEPLY feel the pain and loss of my fellow human beings,and after crying with them,I become more and more grateful for the heavenly life Im having here on planet earth,the life Ive been having for almost 47 yrs,for all the challenges Ive ever faced are NOTHING(including the death of my daughter) if you compare with what others go through;they lose more,they lose ALMOST EVERYTHING. So,when I tell people that Im one of the happiest and content souls on planet earth today,others might be tempted to cheaply dismiss my public declaration with oho,what a lier,hes faking it,but the truth is Im not.Im happy and content each and every single day,I excitedly meet my challenges with a smile,Im deeply grateful that I stay in a country where I dont have to run to the mountains or forests at night,so I have the Peace and Time to tackle all my challenges,WHY STILL MOAN AND STRESS?#What about YOU my beautiful friends,what lessons,if any,do you get everytime you witness situations such as the ones Ive mentioned,do you get SHOCKED,post and comment on the issue on fb,and wait for the next tragedy and repeat the process AGAIN?#Dumelang bagaetjho?#
